A Spirit spokesperson told Axios on Thursday that while they cannot comment on any investigations, the company is “wholly focused on providing our customers with the best quality product.”

Manufacturing processes? DEI is about virtue signaling. Processes are so inflexible.

I suspect this will be unpopular, but the AG should be told to go pound sand.

Here is the letter from Paxton: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Spirit%20Aero%20Request%20to%20Examine%20Letter.pdf

Let’s turn around the tables: if a Dem AG sent an 8-page demand about gun or speech related policies to a conservative parts supplier, with a customer experiencing quality problems, people would have cow over that. As they should.

Paxton is serving up red meat. And some folks are happy. Until some Dem AG pulls this stunt, and then the “this is outrageous!” chorus will start.

Private businesses shouldn’t be harassed by the state. If the government thinks that a crime was committed, take them to court. Otherwise, go take a long walk off a short pier.

If Paxton is demanding documents, that means he already has the documents and wants them OFFICIALLY delivered.

To me it’s reasonable to see just how BADLY Boeing (or Spirit, in this case) is COMPROMISING its standards and passenger safety, just to avoid ‘offending’ certain unqualified groups that have political power.

DEI = Didn’t Earn It

Simple logic dictates that using “diversity” as a hiring priority will at best result in no difference in company performance, and will in most cases actually harm performance. In the best case scenario, maybe you have two applicants who are equally qualified, with, for example, one happening to be black and one white. In that case, if the black applicant is chosen for the job there will be a neutral effect on performance since either candidate would have likely performed similarly. So, in this case DEI is irrelevant since it confers no net benefit..

Then there’s the scenario of a black applicant who is more qualified than the white applicant. In that case, DEI is also irrelevant since the black applicant would be hired and provide more value to the company by virtue of his greater experience, whether DEI factored into his hiring or not.

And finally, there’s the scenario of a white applicant being more qualified than a black applicant. Here, DEI WILL have an effect if the black applicant is hired over the white applicant to promote “diversity”, but that effect will be negative because the company will be getting a less qualified employee.

So in no case can DEI-driven hiring yield a positive result for a company. At best, it can only be neutral and therefore irrelevant, but usually it will have a negative effect.

Kudos, Paxton.
