I flew United in the second week of January and it was a disaster. United is a garbage airline.
Mark me done with flying.
When the plane goes down, you can take comfort that at least the flight crew was diverse.
Who does that leave us with? Frontier? Spirit?
United’s CEO is a drag queen. They put color, sex, and queer factor over meritorious qualifications. I certainly will not patronize United Airlines. If they wanted a pro-faggot airline, they should resurrect TWA. (Trans World Airways).
Un-tied
My son is a pilot and works for a privately own company with a fleet of jets…because of what’s happening with commercial airlines. He says “dad, a lot of these pilots and maintenance guys are not qualified”.
Thanks, I’ll drive.
When my brother left the Air Force, he applied to almost every US carrier. The only one to not call him back was United. That was in the 90s. Even then, United was pushing AA. After he told me that, I boarded a United flight in Chicago and there were two young ladies in the cockpit. I no go, you know.
“Mark me done with flying.”
Understandable, but does competence in the cockpit really matter these days? Consider the the sophistication of today’s jets, and the highly skilled people who design and build them, before making such a rash decision.

Hmmmm.

Come to think of it, perhaps you have a point.
The Bud Light Lesson has not been learned.
I’ve posted about this before. A client/friend is a pilot at United. He warned me about this last year. He said due to the unqualified hires, it’s not if but when a major incident will occur.
Men are physically different from women in ways that matter for many reasons, not the least of which are occupations and war fighting. I hope this isn’t the slightest bit controversial here at FR.
Men are also mentally different from women.
Men score significantly higher than women on spatial relations tests. Funny, this matters when you’re piloting huge tubes of aluminum full of people and goods through the air around the planet. Especially if your highest goal is to not have them intersect, and take off and land and taxi safely.
We should expect to find significantly more men in pilot and ATC roles for this reason. That idiots are trying to force outcomes not based on skills and merit will result in failures to meet those goals, with tragic results.
When the first Boeing 737Max crashes occurred, I thought to get on Boeing’s web site and look around.
It had lots and lots of DEI content.
Leftists destroy everything they touch.
I will not fly United. I will look for an airline that puts competence first.
Boeing is the queen of DEI.
I heard Delta employs over 16,000 pilots. Replacing that many with DEI recruits is too large a challenge, so military veterans will predominate for quite some time yet.
Obviously, when flying internationally always choose a non-US carrier.
It shouldn’t be controversial, but to some, it always is.
As you say, the truth of it is, there are differences.
Anyone who pays attention sees that men and women view things and operate in an environment in very different ways. We are wired differently. If aliens came to Earth, they would likely view men and women as different species.
I have long held the belief that those differences are exactly the reason that a man and woman together can, in many ways, be stronger in unison than either of them could be as an individual...when acting as a pair (not just co-mingling males and females together in the idiotic belief that dynamic works in a group)
Males and females compliment each other in a Ying-Yang relationship. We can each bring something to the table and supply something missing in the other, and vice versa. There are some things women do better than men, and some thing men do better at than women.
Smart, intelligent men and women recognize this fact, and accept it. In healthy male-female relationships, both recognize this as fact...and are better for it.
The mistake ideologues (almost entirely on the Left) make is assuming that benefit scales into all facets of society and culture, and it does not. It doesn’t mean what they assert in their asinine claims of “strength in diversity”.
It means that in a bonded couple.
It doesn’t mean that in combat, or a number of any other things. And pretending it does is going to get people killed.
“I heard Delta employs over 16,000 pilots. Replacing that many with DEI recruits is too large a challenge, so military veterans will predominate for quite some time yet.”
Russian roulette.
