[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]

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

And yet we still don't have enough ATC...so what is your point? ATC isn't to blame for this accident and DEI isn't to blame either. SO why are you posting about your friends? [/quote]
