And you need to be ATP-rated to fly passengers for a commercial airline, a certification which remains under the control of the FAA not the airlines themselves. This has been discussed ad nauseum in another thread. My impression after reading through the utter sewage that passed for debate in that thread is that there are a lot of white males who lack confidence that they can measure up when faced with a little competition from women and persons of color.
This is too complicated for people here to understand. Just look at the poll for example. Obviously they don't understand the basics of flying. I have several friends from when I served that became pilots. I had the flight hours but not the interest at the time. It's not a walk in the park.

It's not that hard either. I did it in five months while working a grueling senior corporate management position. Fly the plane.
Are you telling us they are? Because this flawed poll implies so. United never said they would choose less qualified people over more qualified people.
oh. they didn't say it, therefore it couldn't happen.fantastic.
why can't you answer my question, does doing so destroy your narrative that badly?

You actually supported my narrative by showing that this poll is flawed. No one would choose race over merit. You're trying to make it seem like United is going to do that when there's nothing indicating it.
If an airline chose to hire by gender or race... they’d still have to pull from a group that was “certified” by the FAA in order to fly a commercial airliner. Airlines fly under FAA rules and do not have the ability to “ dumb down “ the training or requirements of their pilots. It’s the FAA who certifies pilots... not the airlines. Anyone who passes the FAA requirements for a commercial certificate should be capable of flying a commercial airplane safely.
So, you think the owners of the airline would risk the price of a crashed plane and all the lawsuit in order to reach some quota?
Yes, I am 100% sure
This toxic woke insanity is so powerful. I’m not smart enough to understand how or why, but it’s no different from the nazis or waco, a bunch of brainwashed humans are dangerous and capable of doing horrible things that don’t make any sense.
I thought it was against the law to discriminate or hire someone based on their gender, race or religious background?
