I’m a 32 year retired 747 Captain and I can tell you that this guy is an embarrassment to every professional pilot in the world. I doubt he is even a pilot.

[@troibandy2139]

As a black man, I will NEVER fly United Airlines again! My uncle used to fly for United Airlines after serving in the USAF. BTW, he became a pilot in the USAF BEFORE there was affirmative action, now known as DEI! I remember when I got my pilot's license, and got my first job, I actually had to be better to be considered equal! DEI really demeans black people and other minority groups as it says that we can't meet the standard and spits in the face of the Tuskegee airmen, Jesse Brown, Carl Brashir, and other black people who had to become almost superhuman to open doors of opportunity for black people today! I am saving to buy my own airplane and just fly myself where I need to go in the USA! When I need to travel overseas, I ALWAYS fly foreign airlines where I know they don't have this DEI nonsense! STOP FLY UNITED AIRLINES UNTIL THEY STOP DEI Hiring practices for any job where people's safety is involved!

[@xanderLudahl]

[@LtColDaddy71]

My experience is that 90% are better than the best, as you stated. They want zero doubt, to beat the stereotype. That other 10% though… there is no way to deal with them without taking a ton of blowback. Old Lou Freeman was my Chief Pilot when my dad passed away. Our 1st black Captain.

[@Grandaddoesit]

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

All my life I was a victim of Affirmative Action. After graduating college I moved to CA because where I was living was kind of depressed re: the job situation. The first major interview I had was with Pacific Bell. The interviewer, holding my application in his hand said to me, "You have all of the qualification and experience I need but I CAN'T hire you. I HAVE TO HIRE minorities." Then, I got a part time teaching position. I was teaching for 5 years and a full time position was opened up. According to the contract ALL qualified personnel were to notified of the position. I wasn't notified and a minority got the position. I interviewed many times for teaching positions. What I found out was that the majority of the teaching positions were given to local minorities. So, I had to make it on my own. I know I"m not the only one who has gone through this. Every time the government makes a decision they thing is equitable for one they restrict someone else.

[@christinaslinedanceclass4045]

I hear ya! Way back when, I worked at the Fire Department, whites had to score I believe a90, blacks 50, Hispanics 60’s something like that. Then a Seda program was created and government jobs were given out to blacks and Hispanics without having to take a test.

[@dannydaniel8975]

@Eyes-of-Horus So how do you feel about the homestead act?

[@donmiller2908]

"All my life I was a victim of Affirmative Action" I have relatives that were denied vocational and educational opportunities because they were minorities. They were victims too. Affirmative Action programs offered opportunities for millions of people to have better lives for themselves and their families. If the people running the government and the industries at the time had given everyone an opportunity based on merit there would have been no need for Affirmative Action. It's easier to hit a home run when you start on third base.

[@susanrobbins9476]

New Haven CT was involved in a suit were the fire department want to remove a test for candidates applying for promotion. All applicants had the same opportunity to study for the test. Some of that knowledge may be needed to save lives and property. Why would ANYONE be excused from knowing that knowledge in that position? We all want equal opportunity but without equal requirements if is a farce. The case went to the SCOTUS and of course the liberal judges voted for the removal. I believe they think minorities are just not able to compete with whites. As a result, it could lead to the loss of lives due to inferior training and testing.

[@Ever443]

100% understand, I applied for financial aid WAY back in college. Was told the same thing.”son you check all the boxes, but I need to give this money to a black person if they apply” Left borrowed money from Sally Mae, got my education, paid off my loan. Now this joke of an administration is paying off college debt for these so called graduates that get a degree in underwater basket weaving or some other worthless degree and some how cant get a job.

[@WizzRacing]

One of United DEI female pilots already crashed. She taxied at unsafe speed and folded it. Doing $millions in damage to the plane and passengers.

[@matthewbrice6202]

Yeah,it happened to my parents. The pilot went off the runway and the jet got stuck in mud. My parents and many other passengers were delayed by many hours. Buses had to come pick them up and then they had to fly on another jet. The pilot was a woman and was a DEI hire. FACT!! If they had hired the best “application” this would have never happened!! It was a terrible inconvenience(many hours delayed) for my parents and all the other passengers.

[@ravenzyblack]

@@matthewbrice6202- Did they at least get compensated for their time and loss? A full refund on their ticket?

[@matthewbrice6202]

ravenzyblack,No they didn’t. My parents and passengers were delayed for many hours and the airline did nothing to try to compensate. But this is America! The best applicant didn’t get hired.

[@ravenzyblack]

@@matthewbrice6202 - That is really strange, because when my brother was stuck on a plane for hours after flying back from Italy they reimbursed him for his ticket and he got a voucher for a free flight for the future. When they return to the states they had a detour to a non-international airport so they wouldn’t let anybody off the plane. They spent over four hours or more on the plane before they finally flew them to Portland International. He then had to catch another plane home, took him hours and two planes to get back home. Depending on the airline, I know there are laws about being reimbursed when it’s the airlines fault. I don’t know how that works if it’s the fault of the pilot.

[@christinaslinedanceclass4045]

I’m out dating myself, over 43 years ago, my late husband loved to watch Sanford and son. One of the episodes, Sandford, being a black man went to the doctor and when a black doctor came in the room, he started calling out for a white doctor. This was over 43 years ago. I believe, the actor’s name was Redd Fox.

[@jameshirschy7150]

COMPETENCE IS KEY.... Any company that embraces DEI HAS TO FOCUS ON COMPETENCE.

[@nothingmuch875]

In 1989 United was forced to hire massive amounts of basically anyone except a white male. A Hispanic friend of mine went to interview and was handed a job with no interview and no flight simulator test required, as was standard. So there's that little fact. Many of the quota hires failed so many checkrides that they were prohibited from upgrading to Captain but were allowed to keep their jobs due to Union protection. It's just a fact whether you like it or not. Now they say they're going to have 50% hires black or female and the hair on the back of my neck is standing up thinking about it. Because the percentage of qualified applicants that happen to be female or black are just not at 50%. Probably closer to 15 or 20%.They WILL lower the standards as needed to fill that quota. It already happened once.

[@terrymcchesney383]

I'm fairly confident that without a quota in place, Charlie would never question the qualifications of any pilot of any race.

You haven't seen the Content Creator Jenny Blalock video? . She received pilots license yet totally incompetent. Flew around in circles on calm, clear day. Zero navigation skills. Finally turned on Autopilot "Lets see where this takes us". Took videos of herself flying. Both her and her dad died

I would like to see much more stringent standards for amateur pilots.

They were horrible and we 'workers' just had to ignore it all and let them be while doing the bare minimum and having attitudes. It was unbelievable.

Instead of sorting the problem at the root they are trying to fix it at the finish line because it's quicker than doing the hard work but will most likely bring new problems.

[@Less1leg2]

Charlie is spot on. DEI and Affirmative Action hiring practices have to lower the standards of qualification, because to meet thresholds. You have to make the hiring pool much bigger so that the selection process can find the TARGET GROUP that DEI needs supplying prospective numbers. But because you the Progressive HR Hiring Administrator ran this program, of course the net effect will be to understand, you made it about RACE, not about MERIT.

[@larrybremer4930]

SCOTUS recently ruled against racial preferences for college admissions in SFFA v Harvard, so there is hope that such practices will come under much more scrutiny since they are all basically written to exclude straight White or Asian males no matter how qualified they are. This overturns nearly 50 years of precedent of the interpretation of the civil rights act and is a step toward the downfall of affirmative action on which DEI is based both for college admissions and employment opportunities. The only people who deserve a helping hand are the people who truly are disadvantaged such as the disabled or preferences that are earned such as veteran status or community service rather than one granted by birthright or a proclaimed sexual preference and/or identity.

Hey, I retired very young after a great 20 year career as an airline pilot. “DEI” has been a pretty big part of the game since I started back in late 2001. We had a female Captain almost cartwheel a 737 down the runway, who NEVER should have been in a cockpit. She survived a long time before it caught up with her. Because she was female, instead of getting retrained, ordered to perform further training like many are required to do from time to time, and still end up thriving in the aviation space, she made it all about gender, and made all kinds of acquisitions. The irony is that many of our best are from the so called protected classes of people. They decided to push themselves harder to insure they aren’t considered a quota hire.

2:34 thats called splitting hairs. What the bloke was saying is his first impression, if all white people are hired on merit and 75% of black people are hired to fill a quota then any rational person would assume that a white pilot’s ability reaches a minimum standard of competency for the industry, but they’d question whether the black pilot was only hired to fill the quota and question how good he was and whether they should reconsider getting on the plane. But first impressions are just that, they can be wrong. This bloke is white, the fact he identifies as black is irrelevant, there is no way a casual observer can know this. So you trust that he was properly qualified, then find out too late you were wrong. How many people have bought a car from a “reputable dealer” only to find out it they’d been conned? I think the standard of living has gone down since the equity programs to put women into positions of power were enacted. A lot of under qualified women have been hired over the years and they have hire more women with substandard quals and they have made a lot of stupid decisions. A tech teacher i had shared the fact that none of us students would ever be hired by the tech. He worked in the electronics department, he got his job by having a teaching degree, an electronics degree, evidence of working in the electronics industry and demonstrating his knowledge and aptitude to the department head. He said that if he ever had to reapply for his job he wouldn’t get it, because the new department head was a woman with degrees in child care sociology, and so she only hires people who fit into what she understands, mostly more women. This was in 1998. I took my 18 year old son to tech or (TAFE as its now called) he wanted to do a welding course. The sign out the front said engineering department - welding, structural engineering, fabrication, CAD, etc. this is place. Went inside only to find that the sign was 30 years out of date and they don’t teach those subjects anymore, for those you have to either travel 2 hours out of town or go to a private company, and they wonder why there are no skilled workers anymore.

6 years and he was medically retired??? Why???

[@steves7053]

Why doesn't DEI apply to age? 20 million flight hours of experience each year are being kicked out of the major airlines because of an abstract age limit. Remember that when you see the gray haired pilots being replaced by the man bun.

Do you know how pilots are trained? Briefly, pilots need a minimum of 1,500 hours to receive their ATP certificate. To achieve this, many pilots teach student pilots to accumulate the required flight hours. Given this, how is it possible that white student pilots taught by black pilots are considered more qualified for jobs than the black pilots who trained them?

I identify as anything that enables me to maximize my ability to get free stuff.

i'm trying to avoid flying period. And since I used to work at a hospital I know who the excellent staff are.

[@CO8848_2]

He said if hiring is AA, then he will wonder about the colored pilot, if there is no AA, he will not question.

[@badgerfishinski6857]

I'd be insulted by United if I was black.

[@carlosini2920]

This is actually one of my buddies from the military, he’s not a pilot we worked on C17s together, he never said he was a pilot he was using a hypothetical situation man

Why is this guy trying to argue this?

[@josephwilliams1905]

People these days will often look for issues that offend them, and then twist comments or arguments to suit them, and this guy challenging Kirk still can't accept the argument about 'affirmative action'.

[@peekingturtle8457]

He's not a pilot. Worked in "airframe" in the USAF, meaning he did sheetmetal and other structural repairs. His "I become a pilot" was just a part of a scenario given to Charlie.

[@johnelliott3617]

He was not an ATP, said he worked on airplanes.

Pilots know better than to get caught in this social media Micky mouse Karen crap
