Fly any airline at your own risk these days. Not limited to Delta.

A second source – a pilot I’ve confirmed works at Delta – tells me that Delta has recently promoted a trans-identifying pilot who repeatedly received bad reviews from captains,” the Daily Wire host said. “According to the source, this pilot ‘would likely not have’ survived probation if he weren’t trans.”


What happens when they commit suicide by crashing the plane, will anyone at Delta pay for it?

Is the insurance carrier considered to be part of Delta?

These people belong in asylums, not a cockpit or anything remotely important

Our nation is so screwed, and the downfall is going to hurt everyone, including "under represented communities".

I used to sit in on Delta pilot application reviews. Just 8 years ago any discussion of race, sex, religion, gender identity, etc in vetting pilot applications would have had YOU disciplined. Now they are making decisions BASED on demographics? Unbelievable (and likely illegal).

It was (and still should be) all about experience and qualifications. Navy and Air Force pilots to the front of the line and then discuss the non-military applicants. Biggest debate was whether Air Force or Navy pilots were better (it's Navy by the way).

Sorry I want my pilots to look like a top gun instructor straight out of central casting.

We’re more likely to get ones who look like Kelly McGillis does right now.

Where is the outrage demanding that NBA bring more short white men from the training and referee staff to the hoop..

That would explain the last few landings I experienced.
There’s a Delta A320 pilot flying the line who thinks he has to catch the arresting gear.

A lawsuit needs to be brought through the court system until it gets to the supreme court to knock down all of this hiring due to DEI before serious consequences are seen.

No, white people will be sent to the re-education camps to suffer for oppressing the trans into suicide.

Friend of mine is a former Navy flyer who tried to set up a transition to non-military flight as a possibility for the long term.

His instructor basically kicked him out of the plane upon landing because he did a carrier landing in the little Cessna they were using on a normal runway.

I think it was American Airlines that boasted their pilots were 19% female or minorities. Their goal is 50%.

Insurance should refuse to write coverage if your hiring criteria is not merit based.
