In a world where aging comedians seek to entertain audiences with new material, one man decides that he’s going to get back in the spotlight any. Way. He. Can.
This Christmas, Rob Schneider is Formerly Relevant
He actually has a successful stand up career. He sells out city to city. He may not be your flavor but he’s more successful than you are.
…
Rob, is that you?
“I cannot tell you how many @UnitedAirlines employees have personally thanked me for my valid criticism of your careless and life-threatening leadership,” Schneider wrote…
And then everybody clapped.
I fly almost exclusively United. I can say their quality has dropped. In 2022 a big snowstorm blew in and United had to suspend operations. They felt it was ‘unsafe’ to fly.
I had to switch my flight to American. The pilot said many of our other competitors had to cancel flights due to their staff not being highly trained pilots. I was a B-52 pilot tasked with dropping nuclear weapons in all weather conditions. A little snow isn’t going to stop us.
Ever since then I have had United flights canceled over minor issues and may be switching to another carrier. Diversity is great but they need to be highly trained pilots first

Simple. If you’re hiring based on diversity, you aren’t hiring based on merit. The two are incompatible. And I, for one, would rather fly an airline where merit decides the pilot, not race

Peepin my dude, that is not what he said. He said that you can’t select for both. That doesn’t strictly mean that a qualified queer black woman doesn’t exist, it means that you can’t hire for diversity and for merit at the same time.

as if the two were mutually exclusive
Because they are. If you’re prioritizing one metric of judgement, you’re inherently putting at least some metrics below it. And unless you’re of the stance that there’s a big stack of 100% identical in every way other than diversity qualities, those people are all going to have different levels of actually relevant qualifications.
That’s just a straw man

If you’re making selections based on diversity, you’re fundamentally not focusing on hiring the best of the best. And for safety critical positions like pilots, I would much rather have the focus be 100% on quality.

The best is the best, regardless of whatever bs diversity qualities. You’ll get them without having to specifically look for shit like race and sex. Looking for those instead means you’re no longer looking for the best, you’re looking for whoever meets minimum standards and is also an acceptable race
Where did he say “every woman and person of color hired based on diversity must not be qualified to do the job otherwise”?
He didn’t. What he said is the focus should only be on skill. Schneider talks about similar topics in his dialogue. It’s not that he’s a “conservative”. The liberals have just want so far, crazy, he appears to be conservative.
If you are picking candidates based on something besides qualifications, you will be picking less qualified candidates.

The kid’s goal for picking at dodgeball is not solely to have the best team, it’s to have fun too. If they picked for the best team they’d pick differently. It’s not racism or misogyny to want the most qualified candidate when safety and lives are involved.

It is racism and/or misogyny to firmly believe safety issues arise because of diversity, as if the policy is the sole reason any safety issues could come about. The flow of logic is the opposite of what you’re saying. It basically asserts that the only reason safety issues occurs is because of the demographic makeup of the crew.
Not at all. Since they are focusing on DEI more than safety, it is neither racist or misogynistic.
Since their ratings are dropping, it appears there is some credence to it.
You have a pool of candidates if they are ranked based on qualifications the order is not guaranteed to be the same as if you prioritize diversity. If you want the most qualified candidates the only way you can guarantee it if you only focus on qualifications.
As the second article i posted points out. There is just enough diversity in pilots that you can set a goal of 50%. That means to hit that goal, you have swap quality to get there.
Schneider isn’t white. His Filipino.
Since only white people can be racist according to the left, he can’t be racist.

What he is saying is the most qualified person should be hired. Race, gender shouldn’t be considered for pilots.
I agree with him. I don’t care if my pilot is a gay drag queen as long hes the best pilot they could hire.

Schneider has no reason to believe that United is not hiring the best pilot
He gave an example. Pilot almost crashed the plane by a failure of piloting 101.

Well United safety ratings have dropped since launching dei. It’s possibly they are not related but I think they should focus on safety as they are dropping.
“Comedian” Rob Schneider
Have you ever seen his standup? It’s actually very funny. I have not laughed that hard in a long time.
Wait until you watch other stand-up!
I’ve seen many. Rob was extremely entertaining. I wasn’t expecting it. Someone got me the tickets as a joke. He was funny. As an actor he sucks.
Saw Adam connover. His stand up sucks. Better as an actor.

I don’t fly United because Southwest has cheaper fares. I’m not privileged enough like Rob to consider diversity and safety for my choice of an airline
I don’t fly south west as they have a horrible safety record. United is carrier of choice but I may be switching to American
Why does this flake make news still?. Oh, fox.
