DEI a Factor in Half of US Airline Crashes

Another historic milestone: equity has been achieved regarding airline crashes by preferred identity groups.

Former White House lawyer Daniel Huff reports in the New York Post:

I analyzed every US commercial flight crash with onboard fatalities attributed to pilot error since 2000: Women and minorities represent less than 10% of pilots, yet were factors in four out of eight crashes (50%).

Is it racist/sexist to get nervous when the pilot is not a white guy? No it isn’t:

It’s not that women and minorities are inherently unable to fly planes, but in practice, pressure for affirmative action too often leads airlines to lower their standards to meet quotas.

Nonetheless,

Delta CLO Peter Carter declared in January 2025 that the airline is “steadfast” in its DEI commitments, calling them “critical to our business.”

Carter is willing to kill his own customers in exchange for a pat on the head from the liberal establishment for being politically correct.

Same with United Airlines:

United’s training academy maintains its goal of ensuring 50% of graduates are women or minorities.

What are the odds that 50% of the most qualified potential pilots are not disfavored white men?

Southwest still pledges to “recruit, hire, and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce.”

“Diverse and inclusive” means qualified primarily in terms of Cultural Marxism — which does not keep planes in the air.

The situation is likely far worse than we know:

Most diversity disasters leave far-from-complete paper trails. Training failures happen behind closed doors. Near-misses can go unreported. Crashes can be blamed on mechanical failure, understaffing or other politically acceptable causes.

Click through for disturbing examples.

DEI has infected the entire supply chain. As DEI hires replace the engineers who built these systems, the last safety valve will disappear.

This will bring us even closer to equity. As an added plus, when the public is afraid to set foot on a plane because the flight crew may have the same qualifications as Ketanji Brown Jackson, there will be less air travel, which will please the weather gods worshiped by liberals.

On a tip from 100 Bravo.
