Comedian Rob Schneider called out United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby in a recent X post, accusing the CEO of pushing diversity in his company at the expense of safety.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

That’s just a straw man

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.

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.

He gave an example. Pilot almost crashed the plane by a failure of piloting 101.
