Why do conservatives hate America and everything it stands for? Why are they so racist?[/quote]

The next time you get on an airplane do you want the pilot, crew and air traffic controller to have been hired on merit/qualifications or DEI? I’m guessing you’d go with merit/qualifications. Does that make you racist?[/quote]

You commit a logical fallacy here. It is not an either/or choice.[/quote]

FAA is seeking such people.

[b]United is picking 80% minotirty females.[/b][/quote]

They are not hiring based on race. They have a training program with an inaugural class that is 80% "minorities" OR women. Since 50%+ of the population are women and almost half are non-White, it doesn't seem hard to get to 80% women or "minorities".[/quote]

Again the subtle stupidity of the DEI concept

Why would you assume that the pipeline of people interested in being a pilot mirrors the sex & racial breakdown of the country as a whole?

Women are about 5% of airline pilots globally

So having a class that’s half women, for example, isn’t just a thumb on the scale - it’s jumping up and down on it

Imagine trying to fill half a firefighter class with women (and thereby leaving out almost half the men who were interested)

Would you expect it to create… better firefighters?

[/quote]

It’s called setting goals and trying to attract people. The supposition that only white dude make good pilots is ridiculous. [/quote]

Nobody said any such thing.[/quote]

It's the pretty obvious subtext of certain posts on this thread suggesting that by hiring women and people of color, United is hiring unqualified people.[/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]
