United Airlines Plans to Hire Based on Race and Gender, Not Ability or Skill

Here is an actual tweet from United Airlines, “Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color.”

The claim sounds nice, but guess what matters most to those riding the airplane? The skill of the pilot, not the race or gender. Just when you hope United would report its latest innovations in safety, they jump in the deep end of the woke pool and decide the skin color of their pilots is the most important trait for a pilot.

Now we’re going to send hundreds of people at a time through the air at hundreds of miles per hour based on racial justice. We’re all for treating people equally, but shouldn’t safety be the top priority instead of skin color?

Michael Knowles at The Daily Wire observes that as conservatives, we realize the past has some impact on our present, but the argument for neo-affirmative action falls apart at a certain point. We can support equality without abandoning common sense—and job quality.

Check out his video and you’ll see the full argument supporting a better way of hiring for an airline. When lives are on the line, it’s not the time to make sure we hit 50 percent diversity. We just want to land on the ground in one piece.

  1. Boycott this racist airline (UNITED AIRLINES)
    This sounds More And more like the democratic stupidity bug has a new victim another puppeteer in the land of puppet president and the liberals morons who are brainwashed by the democrats idiots who are Literally destroying the country with their agendas that’s impossible to achieve.
    United airlines has become another delusional victim Hiring by color is racist and Cowardice and radical segregation in reverse
    Getting sick and tired of all this poor poor me blacks and bleeding heart liberals morons and corporations that are eating the bullshit their movement is a farce and the biggest crock of shit l ever heard? THERE greed has damage the progress of the pass decades? There Feeble attempt to change history by taking down statues is neurotic.
    That’s has divided this country into another socialist country with the joke of a president and a puppet government the Laughing stock of the world just take a look at the border wasting $60 million each week On unwanted illegal aliens instead of putting them on a plane and sending them home THEY WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY THE COUNTRY JUST FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO MAINTAIN THEIR CONTROL OVER AMERICA? Just take a good look at how fuck up it’s gotten since the clowns have been in charge.

    1. Great comment, seems like the so called woke anti racism people are proving to be the real racists. The MLB moving the all star game from a predominately black to a predominately white city and Denver has just as strict voter laws as Georgia just adopted.

      1. Yup,the woke are the racists. So how’s that going to work?I don’t fly anywhere anyway,but if I had to I’d want a good pilot and I wouldn’t care if he was green.

      2. BOYCOTT ALL THE LIBERALIZED SCUMBAGS AND THEIR WOKE COMPANIES, BUY ONLY FROM UNWOKE CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE COMPANIES. THESE WOKE IDIOTS HATE AMERICA, AND HATE WHITES, MEANING MANY HATE THEMESELVES. THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BLAME THEIR PARENTS FOR MAKING THEM BE BORN WHITE,AS WELL AS SAYING THAT GOD MADE A MISTAKE FOR MAKING THEM WHITE. ONE MUST REMEMBER THE AMOUNT THOUSANDS OF WHITES SOLDIERS IN THE CIVIL WAR THAT DIED TO FREE SLAVES AFTER MANY BEING SOLD BY THEIR OWN FAMILIES FOR SLAVEHOOD. QUIT FALLING FOR THE BS OF THE LEFT.

  2. I don’t believe that being a certain color has ever stopped a person from becoming a pilot I believe that a lot of them don’t apply because they don’t like it or want it.not everyone is cut out to fly all the time like a pilot.it isn’t a very attractive job in itself.but leave it up to someone making it a racist thing.anything to keep the hate going.that is the Democratic way

    1. Also; don’t forget the FACT that so many of these “colored” people simply didn’t have what it took to participate in the first place. FUCK this diversity shit, may the BEST candidate forever get the position, regardless of “color, race, or creed!!

  3. I don’t care what skin color they are or what their gender is…..United Airlines owes to their customers to hire the most qualified person to land that plane and keep their customers safe. I will be searching for another airline to fly my family!!!

  4. There goes my United credit card. No more for them. People fly because they expect the airline I’m on has the best and most qualified pilots. Anything less is unacceptable. I will not entrust my life or my families lives to United. Even if they retract this I now don’t trust them!

  5. I guess their going to lose alot of business ,because people will stop flying their airlines if their our going hire by their skin color to me that’s racist so count me out and probably a dozen more, it should be judged on their performance like everything else, Shame on you United Airlines.

  6. It’s okay for these folks to be blatantly racist, but not for the rest of us. How exactly does that work?

  7. Thank y ou for letting us know. I will make sure that I never fly United again. I don’t care if my pilot is candy stripped but I do care about training and ability. Since you have openly disclosed that color is more important than ability. goodbye. And YOU are the racist. You are discriminating.

  8. I think I’m done with airplanes anyway. The last thing we need is Shaq and LeBron driving aircraft with paying customers. Fun times flying from city to city are chapters of the past regardless.
    Years ago, flight attendants seemed to be much happier employees than some of the excuses that the airlines will hire today. Always fun when I get up to pee ( I’m 67 years old ) and a 22 year old tells you to hurry up because the seat belt light just came on and that you should hurry back to your seat. I don’t like young kids acting like they know what it is I should be thinking, like the black flight attendant from Spirit airlines who had the couple ( hell, the whole plane) deplaned because she thought that it was so wrong that a two year old was eating yogurt without a mask on.
    Sorry folks …….. that incident ( in my humble opinion) was not only ridiculous, but racially motivated as well. Where did that flight attendant get off even THINKING that way. That family should be awarded thousands of dollars for the way they were treated on that plane. And all because some young, hellbent bitch felt like making a scene!! I saw the video, I watched it a few times. That flight attendant should no longer be working as such. I saw NO REASON for that incident to have ever even occurred…
    Inasmuch as United airlines and this directive, I quit flying them years ago because any time I did, it was more than an unpleasant experience. Southwest and Alaska still treat their customers with some semblance of respect, but these other carriers have just become plain “mean and nasty”. Go to Hell United Airlines… take Spirit, Delta, and American with you. Yep….. my flying days are probably done

  9. So let’s see here, you hire based on race and gender and place proficiency and qualifications low on the list while OPENLY DISCRIMINATING AGAINST WHITES. Get this clue – the civil rights act outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, and later sexual orientation and gender identity. This opens the door for plenty of lawsuits. United should be ashamed for even saying. I can understand if they emphasized hiring for increased diversity. However, they should be hiring the best candidates for the job regardless of their ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual preference.

    I can just imagine the taxi out speech to the passengers: “Thank you for choosing to fly United Airlines today, our captain is not the best pilot we could hire and they have only had a few minor incidents in their career, but everyone survived each time. So sit back, make sure to fasten your seatbelts securely and stay in your assigned seat for the duration of the flight. This way, if something DOES happen (again) because our pilot isn’t all that good, it will make identification a little bit easier.”

    Great way to increase your passenger base, isn’t it?

  10. Definitely have a lot of woke morons in the news these days. Anyone with a brain wants the best qualified personnel flying a plane no matter what their gender or race may be. United air lines will become grounded airlines.

  11. So United Airlines is going the way of communist senile pervert Biden, his administration
    is based on diversity and color, not competence! Scary to fly on an airline with that kind of statement!
    We sure can see the “no competence” of this administration coming out at our southern border! I think I prefer competence over diversity when it comes to protecting American citizens!

  12. Why do all these companies bow to the low side of social nonsense?
    They are like sheep. Follow the leader even if they fall off the cliff.
    When they ignore God, they embrace stupidity, self-worship, etc.
    America is heading for disaster.
    We need to get on our knees and as for forgiveness. That is our only hope.

  13. A reckless and irresponsible act by the United Airlines. I am tearing up my United Explorer card.

  14. I will not put my life in the hands of a women of color nor do i spend my money in black owned stores my money my rite.

  15. I haven’t flown UA for years and definitely will not anytime in the future as it appears they do not care if one makes it to the ground SAFELY!!! Lessee if I got this right – 60% of the population is WHITE, 13% is BLACK, 19% is HISPANIC with the remaining 10% distributed amongst the rest. Seems to me this policy is an obvious discrimination suit waiting to happen. After all, anything other than hiring by the percentages listed above definitely would SMACK of RACISM!
