United Airlines Supports Return Of Affirmative Action In California (2020):

It didn't go over well with the voters of CA (Defeated 57.23% to 42.77%.):

Keep in mind, this was a California only Prop, and did I mention it was in California that affirmative action was defeated in the year 2020 by the voters of California?

That 2020 vote in California was specifically to repeal Prop 209 which was abolished Affirmative Action in the state in 1996. California has long-established opposition to the idea spanning three decades.

Proposition 209 added Section 31 to the California Constitution's Declaration of Rights, which said that the state cannot discriminate against or grant preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, and public contracting. Therefore, Proposition 209 banned the use of affirmative action involving race-based or sex-based preferences in California.

Meanwhile, Captains who’ve been at the company for 30+ years retired early last year after being enticed to do so to protect the younger folks from being furloughed. They retired without so much as a wink. Certainly, no water cannon salute.

I can't wait for them to announce the first all lesbian crew. What about the first all female, all black, all lesbian crew. That should check some boxes. The next milestone will be one Indian, One black, and one latino, all female, all lesbian crew. I am sure UAL will put out the appropriate press relase.

Nah next will be an all tranny crew with another drag show at the gate. It’s what the customers care about after all.

I text my United friends and ask them if this is one of theirs.

No no... you're right, where are my manners, continue United pilots, go on and continue telling black people how they are.

What would really be ultimate unicorn of all crews would be the all white, staight, male crew. I mean, what are the odds of getting 4 straight males as flight attendants? I don't think that has ever happened.

Surely you're joking about the generalization that United pilots tell black people how they are
since the people posting here could be 15 year olds in their Mom's basements. You are joking right?

Perhaps there will be a new PBS option, you’ll be able to bid to avoid straight white males as the only avoid category!

I dunno I just got told since I'm an outsider to go away. Makes me think all the other people that weren't told to go away are in the system.

Right, that's my point - that even California has no desire to bring Affirmative Action back. One of the bluest of blue states, rejects Affirmative Action, again, just last year.

UA advocated for CA residents to vote YES, and CA residents voted NO.

So, why would a management team think this would be well received and perceived as a good thing/idea?
