your hypocrisy is astounding and you should be ashamed
Lets be fair; the left has moved so far left, that even standards of 90s Democrats (myself included) are now considered right leaning. You wouldn’t be caught dead saying almost anything of that platform now, in current liberal circles.

Cripes sakes look at entertainment media (which has turned into infotainment); late night talk shows and SNL used to throw jabs at both sides. How long ago did that end? Heck, even Jimmy Fallon was berated for not being hard enough on conservatives.

Give me a break.

It takes 3-4 weeks and $0 to become a flight attendant, and that’s for someone who has never done anything remotely aviation.

You don’t have to go to the 90s. Obama used the supposed racist filibuster, was against gay marriage, supported deporting illegal immigrants, approved of private schooling, just to name a few. But you are right though, JFK would’ve been a right wing extremist today with his religion, his tax cuts, free trade, anti-communist, strong military, anti-abortion, appointed a justice who dissented on Roe, capital punishment, fiscal conservative, welfare reform policies.

This whole thing is crap. It should be based on parental income level / wealth... With merit and skill being top factors... Not race or gender.

Disadvantage exists for all races and genders.

The USAF has been looking at the pilot personality, etc., for decades. And, they have gone through many versions of diversity pushing to increase the numbers of minorities in the cockpit numerous times. The fact is it simply comes down to the individual and their given skills. The USAF keeps learning the lesson that it always boils down to that fact. No quota will ever change that.

Long read but a recent study on the subject at hand.

The airlines should have a box on the application for motorcycle license.
