I’ll bet we are going to find out this tragedy was an equipment failure, and no submarine captain could have prevented or mitigated it.


It was a stupid comment, but it wouldn’t have mattered who was piloting this thing. It was done as cheaply as possible and it bit them. And the stupid comment was made by the guy who oversaw the design at a minimum, and he probably had a very active role.

No, I wasn’t. You can’t read good, can you? I pointed out the exact same thing. Look at the website. There isn’t a single “diversity hire” in the entire company.

Don't want to hire white guys? Good luck being successful.


Uh.. their team is mainly white guys and they're headed by a white 61-year-old?

coming to commercial airlines really soon. diversity hires. instead of taking the best white guys to fly you to your destination.


As an older white man I want the best pilots, color and gender don't matter just the most competent. That applies to all fields in my opinion.

They have 6 people on their board and their leadership page lists 4 more "leaders". Of the 10 people on the board and considered a leader all 10 are white, all but one is over 50 and all but one is a man. So 9 white men, one under 50 and ne is some sort of softward guru, obviously, cause 50 year old white men ain't software gurus usually.



It certainly wasn't diversity which caused the accident because they do not have any....

So apparently that CEO was talking out of his arse and wasn't practicing what he was preaching, which makes it pretty likely he was a left winger

literally every person in the company is a 50s year old white dude.


They probably should include woke and LGBQT+ as qualifiers as well. When the woke persecute the 50s old white straight dudes that doesn't include woke and LGBQT+ 50s old white dudes. Appearances are not actually everything.

I would posit that left, right and center anyone in a position where they could impact diversity when talking about diversity is merely using buzz words and, as you say, talking out their arse. They could care less about diversity and are interested mainly in getting someone who won't frick up what ever it is they need to get done and will do so for the least amount of money possible. If that means a green person from Mars that is the person who is going to get the gig....

Fired the 50 year old white dude that told you your sub was shite. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Also goes to show having unlimited money doesn’t make people smart. Billionaire population decimated in one dumb decision.

Well... hopefully they did at least get to see the Titanic! Adds insult to injury if they never got to the main event.
