When will this be implemented on both Marine and Air Force 1? So an un-vetted MS-13 gang member or Hamas agent that recently crossed the border could be piloting your aircraft. This sounds like another 9-11 in the making.

Woke had taught me not to trust groups of people. At one time if I had an interaction with a woman or person of color I didn’t give it any thought. Now I’m nervous they’re not qualified but put an x in the correct box.
@timothypropst238 Says:
What’s really sad about this United hiring quota is will people when they get on an airplane and look in the cockpit and see a black man or a black woman as their pilot will they think that the only reason the pilots are there is because of their skin color? In the past when you saw a black pilot you didn’t think anything of it because you knew they were hired and trained under the same standard as all pilots regardless of their skin color. There is an unintended consequence to this program and I’m afraid it will do more harm than good.

@Saltlick11 Says:
Allegedly, the three most recent near tragedies at United have been DEI hires, or certainly two of the three; 1) United 777 nearly crashed into Pacific was a pilot erroneously setting nav equipment. Rumor is one or both pilots were DEI and/or had numerous failed trainings; 2) United 767 hard landing in Houston slammed so hard it cracked the airframe. Rumor is it's a female pilot who United hired after she had been fired by a regional airline; 3) United overturning off runway in Houston -- this was apparently not a DEI crew, but clearly an error made by the crew which created the gear collapse. I don't believe United is a safe airline with competent pilots.
@woodeye6699 Says:
Under Obama the FAA changed the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers to DEI hires. Qualified controllers thtat do not meet quotas will not be hired. And now we have ATC issues. Who would have guessed.

@amyb7122 Says:
My daughter is training to be a pilot- she is working at 4 year university to get a degree in aviation management, professional pilot and air traffic control - it is A-LOT of work with a lot of safety checks and tests with each license they get. They will not pass you unless you are EXTREMELY proficient. They follow all FAA guidelines and procedures. Which are extremely stringent. It is extremely uneducated of you to say that because they are women or person of color your life is at risk. They would NEVER put a pilot in air if not qualified. They can’t even get training in United’s school till they have private pilots license, instrument license, multi engine license, commercial license and most have instructor certification as well… To fly as an airline pilot, you must have an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate, which is the highest pilot license the FAA issues which can’t be issued till they complete 1,200 flight hrs for restricted to 1,500 hours flight for regular. They also have to pass extensive medical and physical examinations . The costs of going through the flight training are between $65,000 to $150,000 … not including the 4 year degree.
These students are well prepared and have SO much experience before the airlines even pick them up to train them on the specific aircraft they will be operating.
The FAA would not allow inexperienced or dangerous pilots to be hired. The fact that they are looking to hire more women in a very male dominated career is a good thing- only 4% are currently women they say the statistically it may be raising to 6%. So you don’t have to worry yourself there’s not even enough women to even make up 50% of United’s pilot work force.
To put it out there that because they are women or people of color being hired you won’t fly and it’s not safe- is a ridiculously stupid and quite frankly irresponsible thing to say when you are clearly uneducated on this topic and what it takes to become a pilot. The years and checks they go through.
I suggest you do some research before spouting off how unsafe it is.
Typically I agree with you on a lot of topics but you are very wrong about this!

Ok but how would you know it’s DEI hire?

Honestly, it’s getting to a point where white people need to put on an afro wig, put on dark makeup, and identify as black to get a job.

DEI IS THE NEW AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
@jamessayre865 Says:
I feel for the majority of female and minority pilots who are probably better than I am who unfairly are being seen as a DEI hire when, in fact, they are great at what they do, were some of the best the interview panels saw the day they interviewed, and have dedicated their lives to their passion in making this their career.
@jamessayre865 Says:
They can’t send you a photo of your pilot because of A) privacy rights and mostly B) you book your ticket months before the flight is even assigned to the pilot in month to month schedule bidding by the pilots and even then, after it’s initially scheduled, pilots trade and drop trips constantly up to and including last minute reroutes the day of the flight. You could literally get a dozen “this is your pilot” updates… at my airline they don’t even show the other pilot a picture of the pilot you are paired with. I just see this as an impractical suggestion. That said, nothing wrong with spitballing ideas. This is just the first two cents I found to provide a counter argument with.

@mburks3748 Says:
Jesus, PragueU is stupid.
Training. Pilot training. United isn't hiring pilots willy-nilly. They have stated that they are attempting to reach a diverse pool of candidates for *pilot training* which immediately voids any counterargument about any candidate who completes their training as a DEI hire.
@northernlight696 Says:
This is designed in conjunction with the Great White Replacement Project. I will never fly United again after this announcement. A smart United CEO would have announced that their selection of pilots would never be influenced by this woke garbage.
@lesgriffiths8523 Says:
As I undertstand it, and I am an Australian....if an applicant for pilot training/employment with United or Delta or American Airlines is an experienced ex-USAF or USN pilot, he or she would be passed over in favour of someone with no aviation training.
Should I ever visit the US........I will try Amtrac......Greyhound etc. I won't be flying anywhere.
Woke madness.

I'm a private pilot working on an instrument rating. My hope is to eventually get into either the cargo or airline business. This DEI stuff is having me worried because I had the audacity to be born as white male. I know, shame on me.
I will be upset if I bust my behind through the rest of flight training and get turned down because I have the wrong skin color, or the wrong stuff between my legs.

DEI is just ruining the workforce, education and anything else it touches - it ends up being people of a specific mindset hiring each other and taking over the industry...
They certainly ruined the entertainment industry, especially Disney... They only work to spread their ideology.
I've made my opinion about DEI pilots specifically into a short animation video, since it does get out of hand... And I had to mock it -

Dear Dennis, The Torah seems to explore little about Heaven / Hell / Afterlife, however Jesus speaks about this often and in detail in the New Testament as a Jew who taught in the synagogues. How ought a questioning believer who loves the entire Bible consider the afterlife?
