[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m consciously not flying United now, due to this and their stated DEI hiring policy for pilots and all crews including maintenance.

Other than that, no changes in flight plans. [/quote]

Sorry the world is too woke for you, snowflake. Glad you’ve created a safe space for yourself from the big, bad anti-racist folks out there. I know it’s hard.[/quote]

It’s actually not hard at all. United announces new “standards” in pilot hiring. I don’t fly them anymore. What could be simpler?[/quote]

Hardly. All candidates must still meet the FAA mandated minimums and pass all of the same tests, regardless or race or gender.[/quote]

Meeting minimum standards and passing a test doesn't mean that you're the most qualified candidate. [/quote]

Yes it literally does. There are multiple checkrides and exams that have to be passed plus have 1500 hours. Flying is not easy. If you’ve made it all the way to that level, you’re qualified. [/quote]

Not true at all. Some pilots are obviously more skilled and more experienced than others. Social justice commentary on the internet might be your thing, but aviation certainly isn't.[/quote]

This exactly. I know pilots who've skated through with multiple checkride failures (i.e., the same checkride multiple times) and though airlines will pull your entire FAA file and see this, they're desperate for warm bodies at this point and might not always care. PP is insane if he thinks every ATP is qualified.  :lol: [/quote]

Hmm let’s take a look at all of the high profile airplane crashes in the US in the past 20 years. Pretty sure 98% of the pilots were white men. I don’t think Marvin Renslow was a DEI hire. [/quote]

Because most pilots are white men! Man, you are dumber than a box of rocks.[/quote]

Ok and ad hominem attacks don't exactly make you seem like an intellectual heavyweight either [/quote]

At least I know stats.[/quote]

You haven’t posted any stats. Just blanket statements and recycled talking points. [/quote]
