My son is a pilot and he says they’re hiring crappy pilots just to “meet quotas”.
However, they’re all the good pilots despise this crap…sooner rather than later this wil come to an end.
Dude, my friend, the woke policies are intended to cause air disasters. Then they’ll declare air travel “too dangerous” to keep the pleebs like us from traveling, all the while the rich and their democommie enablers fly private.
I was a flight attendant starting in the late 80’s. I saw and heard of incompetence in the quota hires. I refused to fly with some - it was bad, very very bad.
I've lost the link to the blogger who first posted this, but it needs repeating.
There's a thin veneer of hyper-competent professionals who keep the lights on and the water drinkable. Replace them with the incompetent and the water turns brown and the lights go out.
A pure meritocracy is absolutely essential to a high tech society. Have a look at South Africa to see what happens when this principle is abandoned.
Also, get race quotas out of the operating room.
If the airline can hire based on race, can I choose my captain based on race? Where do they post that info?
I’ve been flying for about 45 years. Not commercial and just single engine taildragger. Given that in all types of flying there are a great many things to know, and know by heart. I don’t care if you are black white brown or green with purple spots. That is irrelevant and not a reason to hire someone or not. What matters is that you flat out know your stuff, and have the ability to make precise decisions very rapidly under extreme pressure. Ability is the only thing that should put a person in the cockpit. Ability and judgement is what keeps you and everyone in the aircraft alive.
