CHICAGO (WLS) -- The airline industry expects to recover from the pandemic in a couple of years and when it does, United plans to diversify the cockpit.
It launched a flight school called United Aviate Academy with the goal of training 5,000 pilots by 2030. Half of which will be women and people of color.

Affirmative Action pilots?
Yikes!
This will really make it a “cock pit” and add mucho members to the Mile High Club.
This simply affirms my determination to not ever fly anywhere ever again. I will not risk my life on an affirmative action piloted aircraft. Not going to happen.
Besides, the view is so much better with ground transportation. Yes, it takes longer to get some distance but, the views and experiences along the way are so much better.
You can’t stop at Linda’s Scrumptious Fried Chicken on an aircraft.
So much for Flying United.
Yep. If you’re a white male getting hired is gonna be rough.
HOLY HELL! Affirmative action when lives are on the line???
We have had white male pilots be as stupid to discuss their contests of flight attendants causing them of not deploy flaps and crashes a commercial airliner.
We have had white male pilots attempt to change a cockpit lightbulb and fly the plane Into the ground.
We have had white make pilots let their 6 year old kid fly a plane and that plane crashed and killed all on board.
Why not let women and people other qualified minorities fly?
They could do better.
Are the airlines admitting that they wouldn’t hire women and persons of color because they’re White Supremacists? Sure sounds like it.
Every woman and POC that tried to become a pilot in the last 50 years that didn’t make it should get together in a class action lawsuit claiming discrimination.
They are forcing men out of high paying jobs everywhere. They never mention industries or professions that are dominated by women like nursing and physician assistants but anywhere where men dominate must be purged.
This is already happening in South Africa. We are just 20 years behind them.
OHHHHH yeah... I’m gonna fly on affirmative action airways.
Yeah no kidding - good gosh
How many women of color want to effing fly.....so stupid
Anyone ever look at female pilot crash rates
Don’t ....trust me
United Airlines DUMB@$$es !
The country has gone stupid in so many ways
OK Meathead
I’m going to nominate you for something truly insane
For those who aren’t worried about this due to they’re not flying do remember that the planes do fly over your house.
“Half of which will be women and people of color.”
White is a color.
