From Wikipedia:
Project Veritas is an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010. The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups. Project Veritas also uses entrapment to generate bad publicity for its targets, and has propagated disinformation and conspiracy theories in its videos and operations.

Look, I’m conservative and I know that Project Veritas is very far to the right. But using Wikipedia to source it only made your point have less value and impact.

Considering that our previous CEO and Chairman is a Mexican American and our current President is black, I think that's a pretty dumb question. Especially when compared to our peers.
Journalists are by and large useless and more concerned about "zingers" than actual reporting.

Airline Managers, CEO's, and money bag boys are all greedy. They want to see tremendous airline sector growth. Their compensation packages are all derived from bonuses and stock options which are anchored in profits. A lot of profit can come from growth.
What's the problem with growth?
Well, if you aren't ready for it and can't support it in terms of infrastructure it's like being prepared for a race with no race date. Timing takes two things: preparation and opportunity.
What have the Airline CEO's done to foster, promote, or enhance preparation? Have they helped build the piloting profession by providing hefty compensation packages, or have they been nickel and diming this profession since 1978?
READ THAT AGAIN......... What's SK been doing to enhance the piloting profession? What's he been doing to make sure pilots are ready, available, experienced, and motivated?
If the management teams in the industry run short on pilots; it's really simple....tap the brakes until the profession catches up. it will take some time for young people to decide if this career is worthy of investment. it may take a few negotiating cycles and contracts for young people to decide to invest in this profession.

No offense, but do you know how Wikipedia works? Your definition is sourced by USA Today, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Yahoo News, The Intercept, and The Independent (among others). These are all left wing. It’s like saying that America all believes abortion is murder and the source is conservative evangelical church polls.

To add to that, Project Veritas has a wall of over 300 retracted statements from different media companies including several from the New York Times that have claimed PV is spreading misinformation. Seems like these big media companies apparently don’t like their dirty secrets made public. Also, Facebook “fact checkers” have had to retract their claims on project Veritas several times because they have used retracted statements from the New York Times and CNN as their “source” that ironically turn out to be false. This isn’t a conspiracy theorist opinion. These are legal court cases. Look it up yourself. Project Veritas has sued numerous media outlets (and won) who have claimed PV is spreading lies and false information. Please name just ONE article that PV has put out that is false or misleading. And don’t use CNN or NYT as your source. Get the story straight from PV before you claim it’s false.
