This 'article's nothing more than dog whistle, red meat to get a certain demographic riled up for the upcoming election. It's much ado about nothing and the author knows it. That's why he purposely omits relevant context...like the FACT the the goal refers to students trained at the AVIATE ACADEMY.

Race between them and Hummingbear.

the 50+ hour OE individuals I flew with came from every background imaginable, but they all had one thing in common: a bad attitude/work ethic. They hadn’t looked at the 10-7 pages ahead of time, couldn’t tell you about the STARs or airport nuances of their destination at ToC and could not preform flows and calls when under pressure. It had nothing to do with whether they were mil, 121, corporate or low/high time, black, brown or whatever.

in fact, the worst student I ever had was a 15 year, 40 something regional LCA. He just couldn’t have cared less about United and didn’t really believe he had anything left to learn. The first 3 days were basically convincing him (tactfully) that he was woefully underprepared and would be a liability on line with his attitude.

There are threats with younger, lower time pilot, but anybody who thinks our problems would be solved by only hiring 7K+ TT pilots …. How does the saying go?

This opinion piece implies this is about pilot hiring - it's not. At all.

(Aviate Academy, it's the UAL-owned farm team flight school. That's what this is talking about. Which has a loose and limited path to new-hire pilots at United.)

Why? He's brilliant.

Sounds like you've got a massive chip on your shoulder.

Being anti dei is being anti racist.

This is the most cogent response to the article.

It is. I get tired of saying/writing the same thing over and over to all the DEI screamers. For better or worse, I don't imagine the class photos will change drastically in the near future - if ever.
