Could have gone on the racist thread too

Goes without saying that they all feel that any minority, female, gay or trans hire is woefully unqualified for every position

People couldn't even comprehend that Ketanji Brown was remotely qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice, acting like she was some welfare queen who watched a lot of Law & Order (instead of working)
======================================================================

Nervous fliers are nothing new, and the fear of air travel is as common as they come. But a cohort of right-wingers have convinced themselves that planes are more dangerous than ever because of airlines' diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, which they baselessly argue have put unqualified flight crews in the cockpit. Lately, some have even expressed racist doubts in the abilities of Black pilots or pledged not to fly on commercial carriers that support for the LGBTQ community.

Although DEI has become a favorite boogeyman for conservatives of late - supplanting a moral panic over the supposed inclusion of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in grade-school curricula - the focus on planes is the result of actual safety concerns about Boeing's 737 Max 9 model. One such aircraft, operated by Alaska Airlines, had a panel of its fuselage blow out mid-flight on Jan. 5, causing rapid depressurization and necessitating an emergency landing. Early analysis of the accident has indicated a possible bolt failure, and Boeing is now under scrutiny for possible manufacturing errors. The FAA has meanwhile grounded other Max 9s in service.

Rather than hold Boeing to account, however, some culture warriors have opted to build a narrative around the airlines, accusing Alaska and others of creating unsafe flying conditions with initiatives to employ more women, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals. They falsely claim such diversity goals are now the only criteria in the hiring process, over and above the ability to "effectively fly an airplane," as Michael Seifert, CEO of an "pro-America" online shopping website, put it earlier this month.

There's zero proof that recruiting pilots who aren't white men (still the overwhelming majority of the profession) puts airline passengers at risk. The companies also aren't hiring pilots who lack proper training or credentials. The last fatal commercial airline crash in the U.S. was almost 15 years ago, and a 2020 study by an MIT professor found that commercial travel is safer than ever - 10 times safer than it was four decades prior. And, again, industry experts suspect the Alaska Airlines incident will trace back to Boeing, whose troubles with this generation of 737s date back to two crashes abroad in 2018 and 2019 that killed hundreds, costing the company billions in fines and legal fees as they redesigned a faulty maneuvering system.

Yet the anti-DEI crowd has used this latest frightening episode (which the flight crew handled expertly) to air grievances over what they view as affirmative action for the workplace, painting bogus scenarios of how "woke" corporate branding could potentially bring down a plane with you and your family aboard. Initially, far-right influencers trained their attack on Alaska Airlines: Chaya Raichik, who runs the anti-LGBTQ hate account "Libs of TikTok" on X/Twitter, on Jan. 11 shared clips from the company's Pride promotions and complained that they were "making their planes gay" and "having drag queen flight attendants" rather than ensuring customer safety. "If you're on an Alaska plane, just pray their diversity hires don't screw up," she added..............

Good, let them boycott the airlines. The traveling public does not want to be around those idiots. It's best if they all go to one airline that shares their values. That way the rest of us know what airline to stay away from.

I'm sure someone is working on a "real american" airline to go along with the MAGA amazon and patriot cell service

How in the name of Trump's tiny hands did these nitwits come up with a conspiracy that the decrepit billionaires who run the NFL are secret socialists?

Dude, they believe all kinds of stupid shirt.

JFK Jr is alive and going to run with Trump. Bees have been genetically altered to make people gay when they sting them and that is why they are dying, Aliens are just a misinformation campaign to hide the horrible testing the government does.

I just made one of those up by the way and I bet most just read by like those are something these rubes would believe. Though it wouldn't surprise me if they did think bees turned you gay.

Heck for intrinsic proof of how detached from reality these people are, just look at SFL's post history.
