Hope they don't screen out all of the black pilots by requiring an ID to apply.

  • ”Sounds like you are going to discriminate pilot candidates based on gender or skin color. Is it legal?” 5K Likes.

  • ”They can't define person of color, so it will be interesting to see what happens with this. If a white man says he is 10% Indian, will they count him, or will they demand DNA test records? Will they count Semitic Jews as "color" or "white"? Its going to be a mess.”.

  • ”What are the ratios of qualified pilots? Are you going to hire less qualified pilots just to be "woke" ?”

  • Is there something preventing them from being a pilot now without putting a racial quota on admissions to their flight school??

  • ”I want the best pilot. I don’t care what they look like or what’s in their underwear. Just give me the best damn pilot around. Same with a surgeon!!!!”

Shouldn't the most qualified people regardless of skin pigmentation and private parts be hired to fly aircraft?

If you want to travel, we have an incredibly beautiful country right here. More than you can see in a lifetime.

LegalEagle22 1 point ago +5 / -4

I mean, sure, but I can't see the fjords of Norway, the Great Coral Reef of Australia, the temples in Tibet, the bazaars in Morocco, etc. here. Definitely check out the country, it's amazingly varied, but don't think that sticking around home gives the same exact experiences as world travel.

Property taxes 👀

6
TheSwampFox 6 points ago +7 / -1

Taxes for a 400k house in most places in Florida are under 3k per year, which isn't shit compared to commie states. My taxes in NJ on a 400k house are almost 8k. Escape to a red state if you want lower property taxes.

As someone who has a mild fear of flying that makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Things like this will actually steer me away from booking United regardless of the cost otherwise. Not fucking cool

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was piloted by a moslem and the most logical answer to that crash was he allahu ackbar'd everyone.

This was the plane that Don Lemon said must have disappeared into a black hole. Holy shit, they tried every excuse in the book except the obvious reason for that crash.

When they FINALLY located the black box, they refused to release the pilot's final words. Yeah, we know what they were.

That black hole was actually Barack Obama's loose asshole. It can accommodate two 747s, that's how much Big Mike stretched that fucker out.

I'm not disagreeing with anything you posted here... but did they actually find the black box? I thought it was still missing.

The_Litehaus_Abides 5 points ago +5 / -0

You know, I might be remembering the way the tower employees weren't allowed to repeat what he said. I think they did find the black box eventually, but may have claimed it was too damaged to get information from it.

That sounds correct. I don't think they ever found the black box though. They've really never found the plane. It's crazy.

United trying to position themselves ahead of competitors for when the great plague is over, and air travel resumes its previous levels ?

But in the process of so doing, tying the laces of opposite sneakers together before a running race.

Marketing in most major companies today is dominated by post modernist woke brats. So expect Idiocracy some time soon.

So, United was illegally discriminating against blacks and women before now?

REDMARAUDER 4 points ago +4 / -0

Something like 20-25% of pilots are already female. I imagine an equal amount of pilots are already minority men.

So United is trying to pat itself on the back for a minimal amount of effort & now they're losing customers from it instead of just privately enacting the policy lmfao.

Like it or not the majority of Americans don't support diversity hires unless it's based on income. The left really can't read a room..

Still don't need weapons or 3oz of barbasol when they have the keys to the cockpit.

You are correct. Crew are screened through TSA checkpoints. They often have a special line similar to TSA pre-check.

Something is going to go really wrong someday. I have a friend who is a pilot, there is a female minority pilot in the company who has horrific flying skills and is now training others in addition to flying after a recent promotion. With all the tech these days it's not easy to crash a plane, but when you have someone who is not qualified you are playing with fire.

Read the article, it says united contributed 1.2 million and another partner matched it. Then go on to say they're creating opportunities for thousands of women.

2.4 million is like 15-20 pilot students. Literally the HR lady and a group of friends.

TexasPiper 1 point ago +2 / -1

That is incorrect. You’re is a contraction of “You Are”. Your is possessive, as in “your car”.

If you are the pilot.

They still go through security

2
Verrerogo 2 points ago +2 / -0

So? Anybody who is flying the plane can do what they want with the plane.

The whole point of security is to not allow you to board a plane with a weapon so you can, using that weapon, .......... gain access to the cockpit.

If you work in the cockpit, you don't need a weapon to go into it.

KungPaoMcChicken 1 point ago +1 / -0

Err, you do. Pilots and air hostesses have to get through customs the same way everyone else does. Sure, they have a faster queue, but they still have to go through customs checks.

Not only that, but they have to man the desks until all the luggage is check in, close the desks, then go through customs. The same staff at a lot of airports do the baggage, then the gate window, then fly. This is why you have that 3 hour window from checkin to boarding.
