It’s a highly safety sensitive job. Incompetence can lead to hundreds of fatalities. I guess we still don’t care enough to learn our lessons from past accidents. Being “woke” and “racially sensitive” are more important.
Atlas Air crash in Texas......nothing more needs to be said.
Agree...Atlas Air crash in Texas is exactly why a program like this is so important. Atlas hired a pilot who had no business flying a 767 because the demand for qualified pilots outstripped the pool. Just looking at the numbers...there are tons of women and minorities who would be outstanding pilots and expand the pool if the barriers for entry weren't so high. United isn't saying 50% of our pilots will be women and minorities in 10 years, they're saying the goal is to have 50% of the people who enter this program be women and minorities.
