Corporations have gone full retard with all this “woke” gibberish. United Airlines has just decided that they want half of their trained pilots to either be women or non-White. They said so on their official Twitter account.
Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color. Learn more and apply now: https://t.co/VbOFvFOksB pic.twitter.com/r0ScH6MQAJ

The airline industry is already in enough trouble as is. The fact that one of the bigger airline companies in America is just openly making such a statement is crazy. They literally are prioritizing diversity bullshit over hiring the most qualified people to operate their aircraft.
This certainly does not make me want to board a commercial aircraft again. I want to be assured that there are qualified people operating the aircraft. This is one of the last possible places you’d want to engage in some weird diversity experiment. Pilots have hundreds of lives in their hands and you want the most competent people in this position of responsibility. Race and all of these other factors should not be involved.
When you combine this with all the weird virus-related restrictions, there really isn’t much incentive for people who know the score to fly commercial aircraft. I guess the management of the company doesn’t care about the potential economic consequences of this since they probably figure the government will just bail them out with taxpayer funds if they run into problems. All of this is just completely insane and it pains me to even have to analyze this madness.
