A United plane was totaled on July 29 after a hard landing.

An anonymous source has come forward and said that the co-pilot of that plane was a former flight attendant who was hired as a pilot through DEI initiatives despite failing simulator training.

Ashley St. Clair is asking the tough questions

Oh, and Ashley St. Clair.

I’m reminded of the 2004 Fantastic Four movie.

“He destroyed the simulator. I didn’t even think it was possible to do that.”

Damn, she just needs a man who will buy her some pants. She don't have to wear those.

Totaled? I think that aircraft is already back flying. It's currently getting the new United livery in the paint shop, but it has been repaired and not scraped

I've been worried about this. A DEI pilot already caused a crash in 2019 when an unqualified terrible FO slammed a 767 into Trinity Bay, killing all 3 on board. It's only a matter of time before a passenger jet goes down the same way. Planes are amazing machines. Pilot error is by far the biggest issue these days.

Expect to see more of this. Hell, we’ve had a female pilot put an F35 in the drink.

I am fine with seeing more of Ashley St. Clair too.

The competency of our pilots is why we don’t have Aeroflot style disasters where the black box shows that the pilot let his kid fly the plane.

We have stripped that in the name of “diversity”. Bodies are gonna stack up.

I fly every other week between United and SW and you can tell a stark difference between the pilots of the two groups.

Also Ashley St. Clair in that thread:

"Was the #2 at the Denver hiring center also onboarded through DEI? Did she or did she not change fail grades for DEI hires because “it makes the numbers look bad”?

Did the instructor who failed this co-pilot ask corporate why they passed him?"

I have a feeling they knew better than to ask hut kept a copy of the paperwork failing them.

DEI with air traffic controllers is arguably an even larger issue.

Competency should always be the primary driver of hiring and management decisions.

People are going to die and they simply don't care as long as it advances their agenda.

Truth.

ATCs are some of the most high stress jobs out there because, if you frick up, you potentially crash two planes together full of people in a major metro area.

In order to get more of the “right” people in those jobs, they had a total upheaval of the process which was used to hire them, which had good results, in order to get the results they wanted.

We are only seeing bits and pieces of the problems right now like near misses and planes touching wings. It isn’t going to get better.
