DEI hiring taps a known pipeline that has proven results. Most DEI hires and college admissions far exceed the average.
Giving someone consideration because a (attribute that has nothing to do with piloting an airplane) is the right and moral thing to do.
Giving someone consideration because (their parent flew an airplane) is arbitrary and just stupid."
The parents are assets of the organization, there is a direct like between a candidate and someone already at the organization. It's a benefit to the employees that have given years of their lives to an organization.
Your argument about dei giving higher qualified candidates is wrong. That's the problem people have with it.
