If a professional requires a license, you should legally have the option to demand your service be carried out by a non-divesity hire.

I love how immune to actual reason, logic and facts most of you have become. To test the premise of this thread, I ran a search in a random years for airplanes clipping each other. The results?

2015 - LAX

2016 - Vancouver

2016 - Australia

2014 - LaGuardia

2011 - O'Hare

2007 - Heathrow


And on and on.

So, the article linked talks about DEI being launched in 2021? What's the explanation for the myriad other events over the years?

That's a feature, not a bug.

You think diversity hires started in 2021? I love how immune to actual reason, logic and facts you have become.

See how that works?



Whatever the cause of these near disastrous mishaps, these incidents have increased in the past few years. On that point, there should be no argument.



Airline Close Calls Happen Far More Often Than Previously Known…

….The incidents — highlighted in preliminary F.A.A. safety reports but not publicly disclosed — were among a flurry of at least 46 close calls involving commercial airlines last month alone.

They were part of an alarming pattern of safety lapses and near misses in the skies and on the runways of the United States, a Times investigation found. While there have been no major U.S. plane crashes in more than a decade, potentially dangerous incidents are occurring far more frequently than almost anyone realizes — a sign of what many insiders describe as a safety net under mounting stress.

So far this year, close calls involving commercial airlines have been happening, on average, multiple times a week, according to a Times analysis of internal F.A.A. records, as well as thousands of pages of federal safety reports and interviews with more than 50 current and former pilots, air traffic controllers and federal officials.

The incidents often occur at or near airports and are the result of human error, the agency’s internal records show. Mistakes by air traffic controllers — stretched thin by a nationwide staffing shortage — have been one major factor.

….The close calls have involved all major U.S. airlines and have happened nationwide. Pilots, air traffic controllers and federal investigators have warned repeatedly that America’s air safety system is fraying.

In 2013, for example, the Department of Transportation’s inspector general wrote that so-called losses of separation — which occur when aircraft get too close to each other — “continue to be a major air safety concern, particularly in light of dramatic increases in their occurrence.” Five years later, the inspector general issued a similar warning about close calls on runways.

I wonder if Shamekia jumped out of the cockpit of the plane that got hit holding her neck?
