"We are seeking to train 5,000 pilots by the end of the decade, with the goal that half of the students will be women and people of color, all while maintaining our incredibly high training standards,"
Great! Just what we need: a bunch of diversity hires piloting regional jets. What could go wrong?
Retired US Commercial Pilot here. They have been doing this my whole career with people of color. United was a prime example with the EEOC and Emery Riddle wonder Pilots they hired that had NO experience! It has also bitten them in the Ass with much higher training costs and these folks not being able to upgrade without tons more training etc. I am white and have been reverse discriminated against my whole life with people of color getting the job way before me and way under-qualified.
That’s not just happening in the airline industry, either. The caliber of new hires being brought in is scary. Some of the fuckers may not be able to tie their own shoes.

Congratulations on your retirement. This will be my sixth year on the ground. I look up a lot, but don't regret it.
What idiots. Basically saying they are prioritizing color over actually being able to do the job efficiently.... get fucked.

They also lowered requirements for Blacks and Hispanics to get into Med School.
