United Airlines Announces Commitment to Make 50 Percent of Pilot Trainees Women or Racial Minorities

United Airlines has evidently decided their crop of pilots is too male and too white, thus they announced that 50 percent of their pilot trainees in the next decade will be women and [melanin] minorities.

The [racist and sexist] statement came in a Tuesday morning tweet.

“Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day,” it reads. “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.”

Accompanying the tweet was a video message that reads as follows: “By 2030, we plan to train 5,000 pilots through Unite Aviate Academy. We plan for 50% of [affirmative action] admitted students to be women and people of color. Partner organizations will help identify and recruit top talent. Together with JPMorgan Chase, we’re eliminating the financial barrier to entry for highly qualified and motivated candidates. Applications are open. Take your captain’s seat.” (read more)
