The only group think I encounter is the one in crew rooms with a steady drip of FoxNews. I've never been in an environment with that much group think in my life.

Drag Queen day is an embarrassment to anyone and everyone that cares about their corporate image. I would not take my children to such an event, nor would my wife, or daughter go there. We find this sort of thing disgusting. I would think our corporate leadership to be wiser and more prudent than that. very poor choice. It's one thing to go to Key West on Halloween and see this, it's another thing entirely to have your corporation sponsor this and promote it. .

I did say it is not in-keeping with "family values." More specifically, traditional family values. Gee.... I wonder if the company wants to save money and combine bring your kid to work day with drag queen day.
Daughter does think for herself. Daughter likely headed to medical school, MCAT scores are good. Needs to boost Organic Chemistry, so she will look at physician or veterinary medicine. That's the beauty of letting your kids think for themselves. Pretty good choice I reckon.

I knew what I wanted and I did it. In reality...so what. That's what life is.
I can't take the corporate leadership seriously when they want to save a few pennies and then pee away the money for stuff like this. If Oscar was writing a personal check for it out of his pocket, then so be it. I don't think the company should be doing this for two reasons: It costs money, and it isn't done for everyone. Every single high school in America should have United Airlines come in and fly a B787 in there and do a dog and pony show for everyone. If they can't, then don't do it at all.
Appealing specifically to females is inappropriate and sexist. it's the same as saying "you throw like a girl." Tell that to a College softball player. You'll get an ugly look. The ladies do a bunch of butt kicking and don't need any help from anyone. They aren't under-represented in any sense of the word. They have free will and choose accordingly. Everyone knows we have female pilots, female astronauts, female governors, female doctors. it's not a secret. Women can do anything they set their mind to. Don't need any help form UAL or any other corporation. They got it.
I did advise my daughter to look at aviation. why? because she'll be hired in very short order by an airline looking to hire more females. She won't have to waste too much time instructing and living on peanuts. She opted for medicine.

I agree with the overall idea that the company should be appealing to the professionalism, safety, value and convenience of it's products and not pandering to woke subgroups of society like drag queens. Reaching out to women and minorities could be part of a program of trying to show your professionalism....
