Tucker Carlson: Pilot ability no longer matters to United Airlines, but skin color does

[WVK]

Here’s the latest illustration of the principle, and it comes not from the Biden Administration, but from United Airlines. United used to be a conventional commercial air carrier. It flew airplanes from place to place, most of the time uneventfully. That was the old United Airlines. The new United is very different. It’s a combination of a hyper-aggressive corporate HR department, and a left-wing political action committee. The new United is big on moral pronouncements and mandatory social engineering. United has embraced equity. Here’s its latest directive, spelled out yesterday on Twitter:

Equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity. Only 7% of pilots are women, but is that due to hiring practices that discriminate against women, or is piloting an industry that men just naturally gravitate towards more than women do and more men are in the possible pool of applicants? If it's a result of natural differences between the sexes, such quota systems will objectively create a team of less skilled pilots as the best pilots are being overlooked for the sake of skin colour of gender.

Isn't this just a tiny bit outdated?

Here's Tucker, a year ago showing outrage on this same theme:

I remember being in college (1990) and there was one female in the engineering program, and the various teachers flat out told her that regardless of her grades she had a golden ticket. She would be hired anywhere she wanted and at a better then starting salary.

It's not even about supply and demand anymore.

Look at the case of Tyre Nichols. In the name of diversity, and equity, a bunch of violent thugs, that shouldn't have been wearing a badge, were wearing badges and beating down random people. 

Diversity should NOT overlook safety and competency.

There is a massive pilot shortage right now. I guarantee they don't give a **** about much right now when it comes to hiring

Yep.   The opportunities are open for women to become pilots, but not many of them want to.  Of all the people I know who have their license to fly and fly small planes, they are all men.  Of all the people I know who enjoy making quilts, they are all women.  Sometimes things are just what they are.

You got there before me. Once you start changing the rules to accomodate those that can't or won't make the grade, then the outcomes are all too predictable.
