SOULPLANE! United Airlines says 0ut of the next 5000 Pilots, 50% will be Black/female, Sparks Debate...Fasten Dem Seatbelts Yo!

dumbest affirmative action shit i've ever seen. where do these black and female pilots magically come from?

I would hope ret/ex-Air Force...

Financial incentives to lure them in. That is NOT the way to find the best pilots who have a dream and passion to be a pilot not because of woke incentives. Never fly United again if you want to fly safe.

No one cares what color a life saving surgeon is
Only thing that matters is if they are the best of the best

Same goes here for pilots

If they are the best of the best

Who would care

Whitey has to pay on his own for the first 500 hours.

Then s/he has to work as an instructor/tour guide for the next 1,000 hours to get the ATP license.

I imagine that United, like some/most of European airlines, will hire minorities off the street and pay their way from 0 to 1,500 hours.

Even with an affirmative action handler and personal counsellor, said affirmative action pilot candidate will eventually have to fly on his/her own resulting in, I imagine, many 'mechanical failures' resulting in 'controlled flight into terrain' incidents.

If they were the best of the best, they would not have to start a campaign. It would come naturally.

Otherwise, they just admitted they have been racist in their hiring practices all these years.

Read the comments of these woke assholes. Dumb as bricks they don't realize quotas will only bring down the entire class. The only people who should be pilots are those who have an innate passion to be one. If they have that passion they will find a way to get training and be a pilot. These woke initiatives will wreak havoc on the industry.

I don’t care what color or gender my pilot is as long as they are qualified and not just passed because of who they are

If they are the best of the best there wouldn't have to be a quota system to get them in the cockpit.

Correct. UAL just admitted and potentially opened themselves up to discrimination lawsuits.

All this woke BS... A company can get hammered in the markets with ease these days.

I am really thinking it is time to limit my exposure in the markets a little more.

Needing a quota for ANY position = that person would never qualify based on their knowledge/experience/skills


It's essentially telling blacks/Hispanics that they're dumber than a box of rocks, but because you have more skin pigment (melanin) in your skin we're going to overlook your incompetence.

People should boycott ALL of these woke companies...but they won't, because most people are inherently lazy and instead of favoring principles, they favor what's easist for them.

I will stop flying 100% if they tried the vaccine route.
All the talk of that made me buy a new car (before they get "too smart" too)

Tell me this ain't the first thing you think of. I got a buddy that's Wesley Snipes black that will 110% agree with me. I just sent him the link.

THEY ARE MOSTLY GOING TO BE NON-BLACKS WHO R 'NOW' IDENTIFYING AS BLACK...AND FEMALE...WONT B HARD 2 DOO @ ALL!

JUS' GIT FAT, LOUD AND RUB UH FUCKIN SHARPIE ALL OVUH YA-SEFF!

AN...B UH BITCH...

Blak pop in the US (female/male) is around 12%. They shoot for 50% blak pilots, thats a HUGE discrimination against all others, but mostly against whity. Not to mention, where the heck will they find "enough" qualified blaks. What happened to giving jobs to those qualified regardless of sex, race, religion, etc?

Over a decade ago, male whity had to score 20% higher in all categories than other applicants to get into med school. You think all of those new docs over the last generation were the most qualified to become docs? That they had the best scores and were the most motivated? That they were the most deserving? WRONG.

Not to mention the fact that male whity was NEVER offered scholarships and grants related to their color or upbringing... No, the most valuable med school candidate from a social score standpoint grant/scholarship pov for the last 20 years is/was a blak, j&^wish, gay, female, t-rah-knee.

Reverse racism has been around for way too long already. They will/are importing "appropriate" candidates from outside the US to fulfill their social hiring targets because there are not enough qualified candidiates in the labor pool here, even with the reduced requirements they set for these highly-sought-after employees.

Get out of the line, over-qualified whity.

IF ONE WHITE PERSON WAS INVOLVED IN THE 'PRODUCTION' OF THIS THEN,,,,IT'S RACIST..UH!

OTHER MINORS. WILL LABEL BLAK AS A SPECIAL AN PROTECTED CLASS...THUS, CREATING MORE DISCRIM. EVERYWHERE. IT CANNOT
B 'BROKE' ANY WORSE!

They have a special 6 week on the job training certificate for marginalized people.

Flying on planes is for a civilized world. Even back then it had risks.

I love travel but too many cave man society types around now to risk it much.

Bkack folk are gonna half to work twice as hard to get thangs bax to normalz wit our economy stuffs. Dey done it b4, dey will save merica again.

lol fasten dem seatbelts yo

stay grounded, friends

They will probably have to cut down the number or flights for there won't be any trained pilots to fly da planes.

The best pilots have it in the blood.

Not bloods.

Maybe they didn't get the memo.

Great material for a spotty cellphone commercial.

What was said 'The best pilots have it in the blood'.

What they heard 'The best pilots Bloods'

i will never fly again. they can have it. i'm surprised there weren't goats and chickens on my last flight.

Just keep an eye out for more crashing planes.

You don't really need pilots as autopilot can do most everything.

Just the Sully landings are what they are there for.

United We Carsh.
