Yes.
As for the DEI discussion…..I had a lot more heartburn over the issue when it was HARD to get an interview, and “diversity hires” were getting hired fro, the right seat. Now that it doesn’t hinder me in any way, I have no issue with DEI adjusting the standards for HIRING. Adjusting the standards for TRAINING and EVALUATION is completely unacceptable. As long as that doesn’t occur….there’s no reason to think a low time hire can’t hone the skills and procedures in the training environment. We need diversity…but we also need unity AMONGST that diversity. Having cliques of different demographics doesn’t help the cause. Not at the airline….not in this country.
