Yikes
To be honest, there’s nothing wrong with diversity at the end of the day. All of these pilots still have to meet the same standard that the FAA has set for every pilot the test doesn’t care what color you are if you can pass it then you’ve earned your place simple as that.
Love for aviation goes from LaGuardia Airport to Texas Southern University.
Blacks only!
Too bad I can be a pilot
So, increasing emissions for no reason
It's becoming so difficult to become a pilot in the US military since it's so competitive and selective and it takes such high math and science test scores and grades, but that does provide very high level of competency and military pilots already have considerable experience before even starting a career with an airline. These pilots being trained by other inexperienced pilots then heading straight to an airline… that feels less safe. Diversity is great, but lives are at stake.
L❤VE THIS STORY!! 👏🤩
more aviation accidents will be happening it sounds like 💀
Is it going to be more affirmative action like Yale and Harvard where they let in dumb people because they’re minorities?
Yea, to the field, not the runway
