I’m going to California (from Texas) in May for my grandson’s high school graduation. I’ve already decided to take a bus. See America from the ground instead of the air for a change.

They need to change their name to Flying Dildo Airlines.

UNITED CEO LIKES TO DRESS UP IN DRAG

NOT SUPPORTING MENTAL ILLNESS IN THE BOARD ROOM—EVER

[I want the USA back]

There are not enough qualified “women and people of ‘color’” to fill those jobs. They will do as all companies are doing — hire UNQUALIFIED people.

Over the next decade, United will train 5,000 pilots who will be guaranteed a job with United after they complete the requirements of the Aviate program – and our plan is for half of them to be women or people of color.”

—United CEO Scott Kirby

[Regulator]

“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”

Why not make it 100%?

Billions of people on Planet Erf who can be trained to fly. It’s a rote skill, less demanding then a lotta technician jobs.

No reason to have ANY White males up front. And if the 14th Amendment says that ANYONE on the planet is an “American” as is alleged, then why wait? Just fire all the Whiteys.

Isn’t that why our ancestors started a country? To disemprivilege ourselves and our posterity? The Constitution is a suicide pact! Off yerself now and make way for the Nigerian pilots of the future!

I did that years ago when they needed to get a flight crew from one airport to another about five hours away by car and their solution, rather then "rent a limo" was to delay the flight at the gate for two hours and then forcibly remove already seated passengers from the plane.

I figured if they were that stupid that I did not trust them to maintain their planes properly either despite the assurances of other FReepers that the mechanics were "Union" and so never would let a mechanically unsound plane fly.

I haven’t been on a plane since 2006, and thankfully, will never have to fly anywhere, ever again.

[Gritty]

DEI obviously trumps everything else.

That's a great way to increase the likelihood of actual "die" happening.

[2001convSVT]

“It will no longer be merit alone that determines who half of United’s pilots-in-training will be”

Merit is the only thing that should determine who is flying the plane!
