"Aska hit the wrong switch as a result of turbulence and then became disoriented when the plane accelerated, he inadvertently plunged the craft into an unrecoverable dive."

Will "diversity" cause more plane crashes as..."United Airlines proudly announced its intention to ensure that 50 percent of the 5,000 pilots they train in the next decade will be women or “people of color.”

Diversity is simply anti-white racism.

“An airline’s purpose apparently isn’t to earn money providing air transport as efficiently and safely as possible, but to “advance racial equity by expanding career development opportunities.”

Keep that in mind next time you need to fly somewhere.

AA has contributed greatly to the dumbing down of America. The best people are not allowed to emerge from the pack. This is the intended consequence of the obsession with equity.

I plan on getting my last air travel in within the next couple of years. I don’t want to be flying airplanes in a nation with bureaucrats and regulators that have gone absolutely insane much longer than that.

“had a history of acting “impulsively”

A lot of blacks seem to generally have impulse control problems.

Now you understand why the elitist frauds fly on private jets.

This type of accident will become more common as people who are chosen based on ‘sexual kink, pigmentation or who their father or grandfather was’ are given jobs they’re not qualified for.

The solution?

Restrict these new equity pilots to routs leaving or arriving in Washington DC.

Think of “diversity” in medical schools. Yes, it’s happening.

“Will “diversity” cause more plane crashes...?”

COUNT ON IT.

Source: am former flight attendant and have seen many hires that were crap pilots who were babysat, pushed through.

From the article:

'In fairness, we don’t know for certain that 44-year-old Aska, who was born in Antigua, kept his job due to affirmative action and “equity.”'

Doens't stop the racist pigs from making the claim that it did, though.

With the diversity push, sitting in an airplane at 35,000 feet will soon be similar to sitting in traffic under a new footbridge in Miami.

The powers that be envision us not traveling more than 15 minutes away from our assigned pods. With hiring policies like this they will destroy air travel, and with the phasing out of internal combustion vehicles, along with forcing electric cars on the public, they are nearing their goal.

I have my multi-engine license and after I get 78 more hours logged I can apply for my commercial license. A regional airline has already promised me a job for the two days a week I want to work.

I suspect white men would not be barred from these jobs if they want them. The main priority is getting a warm living body in the front seat.

“In fairness, we don’t know for certain that 44-year-old Aska, who was born in Antigua, kept his job due to affirmative action and “equity.””

Now, why would anyone suspect such a thing?

The best example of “diversity” or an affirmative action pilot was Auburn Calloway. Look it up. He was the example where the 9-11 terrorists received their inspiration. If it hadn't been for the bravery and professionalism of the pilot and co pilot everyone would know about this incident because of the death toll.

I think this is a good article on the subject. I expect before all the wokeness causes enough accidents or kills enough people we will see much more incompetence promoted and endured.

The bias to “give another chance” for people who get rattled has bothered me a lot in emergency response training in particular and training or job performance in general. People don’t just not test well, if they do, they also do not perform well under stress. It is a certainty. They are not owed benefit of the doubt and doing so is an injustice to the people whose well being / lives depend on them doing well.

Conrad should have never been in the cockpit.

What I fear next in the woke world is promotion of incompetents at the expense of the competent because of quotas and union seniority. In a small universe of force-favored candidates attempting to feed the larger general universe you begin to scrape the bottom of the barrel sooner. No matter the race, color or creed it is just a fact.
