It’s not that women and minorities are inherently unable to fly planes, but in practice, pressure for affirmative action too often leads airlines to lower their standards to meet quotas.

While responsibility for overall safety cannot be delegated away from a certificate holder, checking remains under federal authority granted to individual check airmen & training center evaluators as reported to the administrator at each/every event. Any credible evidence that DEI initiatives have negatively influenced or override qualification standards set by federal code or within scope of regulatory surveillance do NOT exist to my knowledge. If you have evidence or proof indicating the opposite, please share it.

No reason at all that higher skilled and more experienced pilots would chose to work for an airline just because it pays them three times more, with much better benefits and QOL

This fallacy is in the same league as the "all 121 are equally safe" narrative pushed by budget/regional airlines.
