When you copy and paste all these lengthy answers of yours, and almost every one of your answers is lengthy, why do you not at least attribute the source?

Nothing in my response was copied nor pasted.....

Better equipment, better maintenance and better procedures and training put in place are the main drivers behind the increase in safety, not the gender or racial makeup of the crews.

That doesn’t change the fact that women and minorities are given a leg up over white men when it comes to hiring and even passing training. Which is inherently sexist and racist. So what you’re saying is that it’s okay to hire based on sex and race which means it must’ve been okay to discriminate against women and minorities in favor of white men.

I have no doubt that the reasons for increased safety has nothing to do with biological sex, gender nor race. That is my point exactly....I am not the one making the argument that DEI makes airlines less safe based on biological sex, gender or race....employee biological sex, gender nor race has no bearing on aniline safety....again, I am not the one claiming any of those three means anyone is unqualified, less qualified or qualified...they are meaningless as far as qualifications go. But far too many straight white men are convinced that they do indeed have something to do with qualifications.

Also from that video from aircraft holding short for takeoff the CRJ touched down way too short on the runway they should have been landing about 800’-1000’ farther down

---

Why would landing short be an issue? Is it that in order land short, his descent rate would be higher than typical?

Seems one would as much runway beyond touchdown as you can get just in case.....

You are misrepresenting this.

Not all minorities are DWI hires who are not qualified for the job. But some of them are. Which undermines the achievements and qualifications of the minorities who actually are qualified.

Also we don’t actually know if this is pilot error either way.

I love how pilots go into a mode while on the comms

Pilot watching plane crash: oh eff oh eff! No no no!
Pilot to tower sounding like a calm Peter Jennings with nightly news: “tower, uh you seeing this plane crash, two three”


So in this case aviate, film, communicate

That’s 100% on the pilot. Have they been identified yet?

I tend to think DEI creates more issues than what it solves.

However, the overwhelming reason lesser qualified, disinterested people attain almost any position they didn’t really “earn” is birth. They’re wealthy and/or connected. That will always get one to the front of the line — or back in line quickly frick up after frick up. I grew up in a family where you’re going to get chance after chance regardless and then still get poked into a good management position in a family company if you really frick up everything else. Everyone knows how it works. DEI or top of your class no way compares to a chat on your behalf from a big wig.

However, I can say that’s also why DEI creates the divisions it does. It’s not totally unfounded that white men without those connections could find themselves as the only ones without a leg up in certain situations.

However everytime a minority is hired we see nothing but complaining about DEI

Thats what happens when average people learn a new talking point. They misuse it until its worthless.

However everytime a minority is hired we see nothing but complaining about DEI as if the only capable males are white.

Like affirmative action and quotas that is a stigma created by DEI especially with the extreme form we have seen many in business and in govt pushing it since the summer of love.

How many companies have policies in place to specifically cater to rich white boys?

Why do you need a policy to promote something that's already running full tilt?

I'm not a fan DEI but anyone trying to argue that rich, connected people don't get pushed to front of every line (and jump right back up there if they frick up) are either blind or intentionally disingenuous.

One of the reasons, I personally choose to live on the other side of the country from my family is because all of their businesses have family and friends of family and sons of politicians etc etc etc that are not really qualified at all strewn throughout high level positions.

The problem with DEI is when it puts NOT connected white guys last in line for no other reason than race/gender. It makes no difference for the ones that a big wig can put in "a good word " for.
