I was trying to sweep with as broad of a brush as possible.

I always enjoy this argument. Why is it that most FA's are women (afterall, there is much higher number of female FAs than there are male pilots), if women don't want/ don't like / can't handle the lifestyle???

Maybe they want the lifestyle, just not the pay, work rules and benefits?

I want to fly with you. All my trips seem to be, well how shall I put this without offending? Umm, not women. But good for you that you get that. I’m serious.

Honestly, why should anyone care about diversity in this industry? We are pilots; literally not a single thing about our career has any bearing on our gender or ethnicity. Being white or black has no bearing on being able to read a checklist and think critically and fly a plane.
Diversity is beneficial to some careers, not ours. Why people are so obsessed with skin color or gender is beyond me

I have asked several female pilots that I have flown with why there are so many women on the back side of the door, and so few on the front. They have all said that it isn’t the lifestyle, but the job itself. Most guys are gear heads and see operating machinery as attractive, where the majority of women typically don’t view it the same way. They are just as capable, it’s just that most aren’t interested. That is at least how it was explained to me.

He uses razor-sharp logic and reasoning to debunk so many common myths perpetuated by the media/academia in our current environment.

And despite the fact that he's helped countless people turn their lives around, the left try their best to cancel him -- with no effect.
