You don’t need to use that word. Trash is what it is. Every race has it. To associate one race with trash is the “R” word.

Be careful when you paint with broad strokes.
No, everyone knows they are a protected class and talking **** about them is a hate crime.

Not a boomer, but I'd bet those boomers can outfly you any day of the week. Then again, I was raised by parents who were part of the greatest generation, I have respect for those that have more experience in life and the job. I also have a quarter century of airline flying in, and still don't begrudge older guys more senior to me. I also never complained about not upgrading in 2 yrs or not getting 10 hotels a month for a commute. You may have been raised by hippies protesting at Berkely? Who knows....

As far as DEI. Anyone who doesn't understand why it's a useless tool that is actually making discrimination worse, especially in aviation, is..well...an idiot.

You are a truth speaker. I was beginning to think that I was the only guy left around here with some experience and a brain.

Protesters? At Berkeley? You don’t say! In 1985 the NROTC/AFROTC building got torched. I know hundreds of military pilots came through there over the years.

A person whose parents were in the “greatest generation” is the literal definition of a boomer

As a solid Generation X member, I’d like to remind you bickering Boomers and Millennials that we don’t care! Anyway, got to go. Building a ramp in the street so I can jump my friends with my BMX bike.

No.

Depends on when they reproduced. Generational category depends on lived experience, ie when you were born.

Could have been born to older parents and skipped a gen.

Pardon my Gen X skepticism, but no. They do fine, but "outfly any day of the week?" No. Enough years on the job by now to know that nobody is superhuman or error free.

Raised by the generation raised by the greatest. Gardeners and accountants. Yes, it was as bad as it sounds.
