United Airlines CEO

Traditionally commercial airline pilots are older white men, and in the face of a shortage of pilots the airline has gone out of its way to find more pilots among people that don’t usually make the years-long expensive investment for their career.



Wow, that is some horrible stuff! Trying to expand the pool of candidates who might enter the extensive training to be a pilot? Sheesh, what will they think of next?

Seems pretty racist to imply diverse people can’t be pilots. Par for the course for OP’s crowd.
 
Right wing channels on YT have been blaming the blown out Boeing door on DEI for at least a week. Never mind that it was just discovered that the outsource vendor had secretly outsourced the work to a Malaysian company. Why focus on excessive corner cutting that puts more money in the pocket of investors when you can blame “the other” aka DEI.
 
That's one way to look at it.

Let's say there are two different pilots. Both are certified. One has 15,000 hours. Another has 10,000 hours, and a minor safety incident. Which will you choose?
I'll take that plucky rookie with something to prove.
 
I’m trying to figure out how they will even get close to meeting 50% females in the maintenance group? Very disproportionately male. There are a lot of programs today to train new pilots but not much in the tech ops side of things.

I guess Kirby will solve this problem by finding men that identify as female and like to work with large tools! Seems to know that market well…

I didn't watch the videos so will probably come off as a huge dumbass. Are we even talking about pilots here? Or is this merely company-wide including thousands of cushy white-collar remote jobs?

It'll be spun any which way it can be. See the mechanic post right before yours to see an example.
 
Elon Musk targets Alaska Airlines for putting DEI over safety after door scare



Why is Boeing such a shitty corporation?


“By the way, just how outsourced is Boeing production? Only yesterday, it was revealed the door plug that blew out of the Alaska Airlines plane wasn’t actually produced in Wichita. It was produced in Malaysia, where I very much doubt that workers’ concerns about speed of production and quality oversight have much impact on their managers.

More significantly, the fact that the Malaysian production of the door plug didn’t come to light until yesterday—12 days after the blowout—suggests just how profoundly outsourcing can obscure the public visibility required for corporate accountability.”

As long as the Malaysian workers were not gay, we will be right as rain.

DEI AIRLINES: Black Female Pilots Will Soon Be the 'Norm'

 
Last week when the door blew off of that 737 flying out of Portland it was a lady pilot that calmly, safely landed the plane. The OP would have rather nose dived into the Columbia River versus have a woman as the pilot.
i saw a story about how the lady sitting in the seat next to the door had her shirt ripped off by force, but the article included no pics.
 
Right wingers love this guy


"DEI Is To Blame" - Is DEI The Cause Behind Boeing Safety Risk?

 
Scott Kirby is an incredible person. He’s one of the very few people in the airline industry that could do any job in the company.
 
Weak weak sauce.

Airlines have to follow FAA rules re pilots, I dont care if the guy is walking around with a vibrator in his ass as long as the pilots meet FAA certification.
Wait, is vibrator in the ass good or bad?

I have no problem with trying to expand the pool of potential pilots. What I have a problem with, is hiring pilots based on their race, age, sex, etc. and when you make a statement crowing about how you are going to hire pilots in the future based on those traits, you're doing nothing but virtue signaling and putting airline passengers at risk. (United is also practicing discrimination, which is illegal. You want to end discrimination based on race, stop discriminating based on race)

Not unlike Taylor Swift who tries to mollify climate NAZI's after they complained about her flying all over the world on her private jet. So what does Taylor do, she doesn't stop flying her jet, she buys carbon offsets. Like all leftists, it's just all about appearances not reality.
 
This is like watching The Tuskegee Airmen and rooting for the racist officers.
Back in the day, (Spring, 1944) my dad was piloting his B-24 from the southern boot of Italy up towards Yugoslavia on a mission. About an hour out, his plane developed engine trouble (engine wash) and he had to drop out of formation and try to make it back to base. He realized the plane might not make it, and crew had noticed 3 Messerschmidt’s on the horizon. Dad had the navigator and radioman start “MayDay” messages with their position as the 3 Nazi planes started moving in. Suddenly, the German planes turned away and headed back to Germany...it was then noticed by the crew that a squad of “Red Tails” had picked up their distress signal, located them and moved their way....the Nazi pilots (probably rookies or little experienced) didn’t want anything to do with the Red Tails and left.
Dad told me that their was little doubt the 3 109’s would have at least forced their plane into the Adriatic, if not shot it down as the plane was limited in speed, altitude and mobility...if it had not been for those Red Tails.
Those Red Tails accompanied dad’s plane back his home base, where he was able to make a successful landing. True story.

True story. One of my best friends is an airline pilot at one of the majors. His now ex wife's younger sister became one after they met. She is or was an FO at one of the regionals (the small jets you start out on, for the non flying crowd) and was doing a trip with another young lady who was the captain. During one of their turns a new group of passengers was boarding. While they were standing by the door of the plane some dude came up the jet bridge and looked at them and literally said 'Nope!' and turned around and walked back to the terminal and demanded to be put on the next flight out.

This is what deregulation gets you.
