How about a public statement of just hiring qualified, skillful pilots, period? Leave it at that. The airplane doesn’t give rats ass who you are, if you suck you suck. If you’re a natural born aviator once again that talent has nothing to with anything HR can conjure up.

However when someone bends metal that wouldn’t have otherwise been historically qualified or hired because of DEI, nepotism, scabbing, etc then it looks bad no matter what.

Sure it doesn’t grab headlines, but then again neither does an unfettered safety record.
