Compared to the other drivers on the road. How do we know that you are a competent driver?
“Few women and people of color aspire to fly planes because they rarely see themselves in today’s flight decks. ”
Horse dung. Where do they get this crap?
Australian Survivor had a beefed up pilot as a contestant. He was able to smoke a puzzle that involved spatial reasoning. He would have won if he could have not got aced at out Final 4.
I have a lot of respect for pilots. Tough job. Of course there are idiots. Like the news that just came out about one smoking in the cockpit and it caused the plane to crash . I think it was Egypt
I hope I get a lesbian black female pilot that is wheelchair bound and has Downs Syndrome.
Diversity jackpot!
It will take many years before she sniffs a 777. Pilots work their way up starting with the smallest planes.
Yep. Not flying any longer. There is NO way to provide safety when superior ability knowledge and work ethics are superseded by preference of skin shades.
N=2 is statistically meaningless.
There will always be a greater range within a race than between races.
Chicks destroy unit cohesion.
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Love that movie!
Chicks? What.
Humans with vaginas.
Be whatever you are, JUST DON’T CRASH MY PLANE. Simple
“It will take many years before she sniffs a 777. Pilots work their way up starting with the smallest planes.”
Wait until they cry “chronological experience privilege.”
See how fast anyone who isn’t a white male moves up the ladder then.
… democratizing travel …
How ‘bout the best pilots. Period.
You all do know that we have a very experienced commercial pilot who happens to be female here in FR a lot...
Are the truck drivers selected on merit? Or just a pulse.
having been a pilot for over 30 years with my own plane, and my friend who was also my instrument instructor, just happens to be head of the FAA safety committee. The problems we have right now are numerous and serious and it is getting much worse, but until a few hundred people die, this crap will continue
I’m all for any person being all God designed him or her to be.
If they have the talent, desire, aptitude, knowledge, and work ethic to pursue their dream and they want to be a pilot…GREAT!!
We want the brightest and best.
But no place is it a good idea to push groups of people based on “I like them better” into areas of leadership or skill driven careers.
If she is a good, pilot, she is a good pilot. But she is not a good pilot based on being female. She will be a good pilot because of being willing g to undertake something difficult, pursue excellence and apply the knowledge. She will be a good pilot because she can demonstrate that - not because she fills out some paperwork with a preferred bubble to fill in.
I saw the handwriting on the wall for this a few years ago.
Can you imagine tower positions and FAA positions being. “Awarded” based on this nonsense? I’m worried about the safety of aviation in the future and not just from these perspectives, but security perspectives as well.
So true!
in the 2000's, I was working on a big mine project in Africa. Our company had a commercially classed twin turbo 30-passenger plane and we were trying to eliminate expats from the project so we hired a national away from his job as a pilot on the country-owned airline...the guy was flying 737's.
He could not qualify on the company twin turbo...so he went back to flying 737's.
At least our company felt safety and competence was a bigger priority than diversity.
Not so sure if that would be the outcome in today's stupidity.
No thanks, i’d like to stay alive.
