re: Best video yet of Delta airplane crashing in Canada and flipping

Well that's one way to de-ice the runway

That moron reddit post proves my point

If DEI didnt exist then nobody would have to worry about those issues

I also wonder with there were some visual illusions going on making the pilot think he was higher than they were

would ice and snow cause that?

Nobody knows what caused this yet, but to say DEI cannot conceivably have a negative effect on safety is counterintuitive. By its very nature, you are making hiring decisions based on genitals and skin color instead of pure merit. History will not be kind to the DEI era.

When was pure merit ever used to make hiring decisions? In an ideal world merit would have been used always....it has never been used on a large scale. The first black person hired as a commercial pilot for a major carrier was hired in 1964. Since 1964 air travel safety has doubled, on average, every decade. Prior to 1964 skin color was a MAJOR deciding factor in who was trained to fly commercially and who was hired to do so. That changed somewhat in 1964 and air travel has been safer since. It is an idiotic stance to pretend as if merit has ever meant anything in the United States or western culture (or any human culture) in hiring, educating or any other decision making....it never has, does not today and will not tomorrow. History will not be kind to the DEI Era, no doubt, because that history will be written by people who are in the position to write that history based in part on who they are and who they know with merit being the last item on the list used to determine their qualifications....it has never meant a thing.

What the frick?

Literally any minority hire for these people is DEI.

In their minds the only male that is capable is white.

You can thank the existence of DEI for that mindset

Here’s how hiring works in the airlines.

Say Delta’s minimum flight time requirements are 1500 hours of flight time but in reality to be competitive you need to be around 3000 or so.

However, Delta will at the very least interview and probably hire every minority and women who has 1500 hours whereas a white guy wont even get a serious look until he has more experience. Or if a white guy with 1500 hours and women with 1500 hours and all other things being equal such as quality of flight time, education level and the like, are both up for the position, the woman is getting hired over the man 10 times out of 10.

This is the truth.

Minorities are females have a huge advantage in hiring practices at the airlines.

Came down hard on right main landing gear causing it to collapse. This caused left wing to raise up catching air which rolls plane over. Pilot in deep do do. Should have gone around.
