[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My BIL works for Southwest and they are known to have a super Trumpy culture amongst pilots, I wonder what they are thinking these days with all of his nonsense. [/quote]

Most of my fellow pilots lean right. Some far right. Many of them have been spouting the DEI nonsense in aviation for years. I guarantee you all of them will lay this on the tower controllers and the controllers union for making it difficult for the govt to hire/fire controllers. As someone who is more center of the road there is more than a small amount of truth to this.[/quote]

I've posted this earlier but there is an ongoing class action lawsuit precisely bc the ATC created a biographical questionnaire that screened out white men in favor of women and poc. As far I know its no longer being used and I don't think DEI has anything to do with this particular incident, but it did happen and qualified white men--who had already spent ten of thousands of dollars of their own money to got to ATC school-- were turned away based on that questionnaire alone.  It's Brigida v  DoT and it's been making it's way through the courts for like 10 years now...there's another system that could use an overhaul.[/quote]

ATC also dropped the college aviation degree prerequisite the last 10 years. We had friends with college loans to do that program, they graduated and then poof, didn’t matter! [/quote]

Trump administration actually added additional DEI hiring requirements in 2019, though he likely has no idea. There has never been a political puppet quite like this clown. [/quote]
