The civil rights act effectively created a second constitution. Not to say that its heart was entirely in the wrong place, as with prohibition, but virtue cannot be legislated, and it created severe conflicts with the constitution.
You know what? Now that you mention it, I was going off someone who cited bits and pieces, or what we’ve ended up with from AA to get to that conclusion, and haven’t ever actually seen the act itself.
They should never have caved in the first place. OF ALL INDUSTRIES! You want the kid that made an A+ on his A&I (mechanic) exam or the one that made a C+ fixing your airplane? Flying your airplane? Controlling your airspace? How many “near misses” or runway incursions have you read about in the past 3 years? Still not ok, this letter doesn’t make unqualified (as to ability) leave their positions does it? I quit flying—survival instinct I guess.
Now we need Trump's DOJ to enforce the law on the companies who participated in this racial discrimination:
The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.
I have been a pilot in the Corporate side for well on 35 years now and over the decades I have seen the Airline Industry morph into something that I decided 15 years ago I never wanted to be a part of...no matter what the pay scale! Primary reason for feeling this way is based on one word..."Southwest!" Southwest...took a very prestigious, upstanding and professional industry and just plain ruined it! Southwest has been a DEI Airline for 20 or more years now! My guess, based on my well traveled experience with SW is that 90% of their flight attendant staff is either gay, tranny, or otherwise mentally unstable. In addition, their code of conduct, dress and interaction with the public is entirely unprofessional.
I have known numerous SW pilots over the years and almost to a man/woman they were anti-social or just plain weird! I have yet to figure out how SW screens their pilot candidates, but based on what I have seen the actual screening protocol really must involve picking people who have some sort of unprofessional, anti-social quirk about them.
Not sure what others experience with this airline has been, but take away the low fares and many domestic locations served (both of these are really not much better than other domestic carriers...for instance you may get more choices to fly from OAK to say MCO, but you will not find one non-stop between those city pairs...can you say UNITED!) and you have a very unprofessional carrier, with a marginal safety record and the chances you will be abused/repulsed by one of their flight attendants is more likely than not!
Thanks for the information. I generally do not fly SW and the last time I did I really regretted it. Long story short, I couldn't get where I need to go and ended up in Dallas renting a car and driving home.
There is a good reason why they mix Ethnicities in a work place environment. There is much less unity and therefore much less likelihood of an organized strike or union creation. Up in Sudbury, Ontario they mixed the Miners with Ukrainian, Finn and Italian workers so they could not communicate easily and therefore not organize. It's more about control than anything about Diversity.
Exactly. I am a business owner myself and I wouldn't hire someone just base on his/her color? I wouldn't ask a babysitter for a dog sit nor ask a mechanic to come fix my toilet. Howls.
I work in healthcare. So does brother in law. Since Trump 1, it’s been coming. Equality, which if based on merit, was the entry point. And perhaps even before that, with Obamacare, which our business model gave them the template, it may have started. During first year of Biden, all I heard was “equity”. That’s when I knew.
The shareholders was the govt, regardless of what you thought. Our CEO, making 30 fucking MILLION dollars, did whatever they told him, and most likely was part of the driving force. They thought they were going to be in power forever. Fuck the “customers”, it was about the scratch from the never ending taxpayer.
It was, but still remains if we allow it to survive at all, was to engineer social change. Doctors and nurses are all minorities. Because you know, fuck actual care. And the leadership is bought off to go along.
I have stories of the shit they pulled from an admin level which was just incomprehensible.
This was always illegal
Civil rights anyone?
The civil rights act effectively created a second constitution. Not to say that its heart was entirely in the wrong place, as with prohibition, but virtue cannot be legislated, and it created severe conflicts with the constitution.
In fact, affirmative action was a violation of the Civil Rights Act.
You know what? Now that you mention it, I was going off someone who cited bits and pieces, or what we’ve ended up with from AA to get to that conclusion, and haven’t ever actually seen the act itself.

“And for other purposes.”
Wow. Auspicious start.
of course

Exactly this. Next do doctors and teachers.
Merit, Excellence, and Integrity 4 ever……..MEI
Amen.

Just boycott them until they die. I would rather government leave the companies alone and let the consumers boycott them.
Cool. So Southwest Airlines admits to discrimination in hiring and promotions for years... up until this recent change of heart?
Anyone who works for Southwest can now sue them for discrimination.
Yes. I would like to see them sue.
Make Aviation Great Again
Yes. I sure hope so.
Excellent. As the parent of a white, male pilot in training, I can honestly say DEI practices were worrisome.
White men always figure out a go-around. It’s what we do… analysis, adapt, plan, execute and flourish. It’s why we are hated.
I like Alaska and Delta.
The damage is already done. The marxist are already on the inside.
Very true. Corrupt from within.
It's similar to the Gates of Toledo. Who opened the gates? The same people who opened the gates to our nation's degeneracy.
I don't know the Gates of Toledo.
It's the same ones who are mutilating schoolkids. The same people who push every level of degerancy on the world.

Thank you. Good read.
DEI Tsunami on its way!!!!
It's stupid to begin with, but hey, let them go look for other jobs.
Well, dei IS racist so...
Boycott them.
Now stop them from getting warefare. Force them to earn a wage.
Unemployment for 1 year and then no more. Give a chance but that's it.

too late, the cancer is already inside
Quick, Ivermectin and Fenbendozole. LOL
About fucking time. Let’s make sure no other bullshit words like “opportunity” get put in and this happens again, only disguised.
Southwest is a bad airline. I only went on it once. Never again.

Wow! So the "Tower of Babel" model?
Exactly. I am a business owner myself and I wouldn't hire someone just base on his/her color? I wouldn't ask a babysitter for a dog sit nor ask a mechanic to come fix my toilet. Howls.
Check the CTA thread.
My question - Why did anyone go DEI? Anyone with a brain could see it would fail. What good did it provide for the customers or share holders?
I work in healthcare. So does brother in law. Since Trump 1, it’s been coming. Equality, which if based on merit, was the entry point. And perhaps even before that, with Obamacare, which our business model gave them the template, it may have started. During first year of Biden, all I heard was “equity”. That’s when I knew.

When you can't destroy a nation from the outside, you destroy it from the inside. You gut its values and ruin its infrastructure.
DEI was part of destroying the USA from the inside.
I'd say it actually provided a lot of good. It showed We the People which companies hate us, and helped us to choose to avoid them.
Yes, boycott is very effective. You know that's how Monsanto went down, right?
I should look into them - I never really read much about them.
Yes. Please do.
Look at Universities. From job applications to website information- it’s everywhere. We can thank Larry Fink fu or in through Blackrock
I did. I didn't understand what they mean though. I heard on the news that many will end DEI.
