“FFS this asshat immediately blamed the gays & negros for the DC plane crash this week.”
Sorry but this is completely inaccurate. He blamed DEI. DEI chooses people based off the color of their skin (racist) and sex (sexist), NOT MERIT.
I want the most qualified and highest trained pilot flying the plane my family and I are in. Same goes for my doctors, local law enforcement, bike mechanic, etc, etc.
I could care less if it’s a man, woman, negro, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, straight, gay, or anything else…
Who has the credentials and mental capacity to handle the task at hand is what matters. Not One’s gender, sex, nationality, or sexuality.
the number of hours it takes to become a commercial pilot on a scheduled transport, and ATC at a busy airport is not based on race or sexual identity.
It is based on merit. They are drug tested, skill tested, cardio tested every 6 months. Refresher credits required.
Only qualified in appropriate aircraft after extensive simulator, and training under a captain of that type. Required retirement dates.
The people packing boxes with paper maps being sent out to shops, or distributed to pilots with a subscription would be a job for the developmentally challenged.
Data input for record keeping - ie receiving a scheduled runway closure, and getting it listed on Notams.
I always thought these policies protected the people who were qualified, but overlooked for hiring, perhaps because of their last name, color of their skin, or non natural hair color.
It did not require you to hire anyone for a job they are not qualified for.
Does the valedictorian of an HBCU deserve the playing field be equal when applying for a job?
Or does the hiring manager never see valedictorian because they couldn't get past the name of the school?
We (meaning NJ) are a little more heterogeneous in our population mix - way more than 50 years ago. We tend to be more accepting.
It isn't like that at all in the middle of the country.
I will give it to you that Biden put an unqualified person in charge of DOE at the highest level so he could walk-the-walk.
