    Thumbs up

    United airlines is going full woke and your safety will be at risk.

    My opinion- Airline safety, pilot training and selection is paramount and not the place to lower the bar and be woke. Always hire the best regardless of race or gender. This is a safety issue, not the place to lower the bar to join the woke movement.

    Another opinion-
    Yup, United airlines is going full woke and your safety WILL be at risk. They want 50% female and POC pilots by 2030. Here is the problem, Female or POC only make up about 5% of applicants. See the issue? Instead of hiring a pilot based on flight time, background, credentials....gender and skin color will play a higher factor.

    Getting hired at a Major is tough...I know. Regionals....not so much, thats why I dont fly them. United has always had a history about passing over very well qualified applicants for a diversity. Had a buddy who checked all the boxes and as he was leaving one of the interviewer actually asked if he knew any female CFI's willing to apply. This was a solid guy who actually did the United intern program, doubled the hiring minimums, straight A's etc. He is now a training Captain at UPS making more $$$.
    United Sets New Diversity Goal: 50% of Students at New Pilot Training Academy To Be Women and People of Color

    United Airlines is only major U.S. airline to own flight school: United Aviate Academy
    April 06, 2021

    CHICAGO, April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines, the only major U.S. airline to own a flight school, will begin accepting applications today as it embarks on an ambitious plan to train 5,000 new pilots by 2030, at least half of them women and people of color. Backed by scholarship commitments from United Airlines and JPMorgan Chase, United Aviate Academy will create opportunities for thousands of students, including women and people of color to pursue a career as a commercial airline pilot, one of the most lucrative careers in the industry.

    In addition, for those United Aviate Academy students who may need additional financing, United has partnered with Sallie Mae to offer private student loans to ensure that no highly-qualified, highly-motivated, eligible applicants will be turned away solely because they can't afford to enroll. United Aviate Academy expects to enroll 100 students in 2021.

    "Over the next decade, United will train 5,000 pilots who will be guaranteed a job with United, after they complete the requirements of the Aviate program – and our plan is for half of them to be women and people of color," said United CEO Scott Kirby. "We're excited that JPMorgan Chase has agreed to support our work to diversify our pilot ranks and create new opportunities for thousands of women and people of color who want to pursue a career in aviation."

    To break down the financial barriers that limited access to the airline pilot career path for generations of women and people of color, United has committed to fund $1.2 million in scholarships. The airline's credit card partner, JPMorgan Chase has also committed $1.2 million to support women and people of color who are accepted to United Aviate Academy.

    They'll give the same training and have he same quality standards as for anyone. They're not going to sacrifice quality or safety to be woke. Not to mention they are super highly regulated by the FAA.

    Get a fucking clue.

    Walt- Try reading the actual article FIRST before posting. When you turn away a large majority of applicants because they are white or male, that is industrial racism aka Affirmative Action.

    Theology prof: 'Dear God, please help me to hate White people'

    A seminary professor — who teaches at a university with a “Baptist identity” — wrote a prayer in which she asks God to help her “hate White people.”

    “Lord, if you can’t make me hate them, at least spare me from their perennial gaslighting, whitemansplaining, and White woman tears,” she prays.






    Reminder- I only post Tier 2 stories in this thread.

    Smart move by Vegas.

    The AP article said "Meanwhile, water consumption in southern Nevada has increased 9% since 2019." Wow.

    Some clarification on the above story. I scanned the first two articles to confirm if it was the city of Las Vegas only or Clark County as a whole and read that the Southern Nevada Water Authority was involved and the main agency. So I assume it is county wide.
