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!

[@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.

@@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.

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.

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.

I got to give this dudes father credit if he raised him.

Just reacted to this. Good video brother

Charlie is brilliant and so well spoken. Trump 2024! Have an ultra MAGA Day!🇺🇸❤️🤗💯💪

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?

[@RetiredFreeBird]

@@ahmorgan maybe some ppl just have a knack for things. some would describe it as "their calling." and no matter who teaches, the student is supposed to get better. Can you imagine what it would be like if if a medical student didn't get better than the doctor that taught him? Everybody needs to be better at their job than the person that taught them.

[@ahmorgan]

@@RetiredFreeBird You aren't responding in good faith. Charlie is being a racist and exposing his ignorance and arrogance in regards to black pilots and their education. I am giving facts as to how the training of pilots takes place. I know white and black pilots, I have my PPL. I know what it takes to become a pilot. Charlie is wrong. Period.

[@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. So you cut off your nose to spite your face.

When I go to see an NBA game,I dont care at all what color the players are. They just need to be amoung the best basketball players in the world, and the best players that the organization can afford.

[@tomsanders5584]

When a company starts drawing employees out of a limited pool, that pool gets drained very quickly because every other company is doing likewise and you end up with dregs.

[@MikeK-t6m]

Expect ticket price increases as airline insurers raise rates in response to the DEI hiring practices of less qualified pilots. Hello liability.

[@Bill-vo1wn]

There is many confused people, in the world 🌎 today.

[@pattyhaley9594]

I like what M Scott Peck said about being confused and the high probability that it is associated with evil. I also agree with his definitions of evil. His books are epic.

[@Bambino_60]

A valid question

[@kdeh21803]

40 years ago I was not hired in a job that I had worked part time at and I was seeking a full time position. The manager said to me, "Sorry, we can't hire you because you are not black and/or not female....... they hired someone to meet their quota and that person had no clue what they were doing and could not do the job...... I had worked there in a part time basis for a couple years..... I just wanted to move from part time to full time.

[@jakerazmataz852]

Everything Charlie said is 100% accurate. Fact. Stick it with a fork, it's done. The guy was very respectful, and may have agreed, in the end.

[@Wulfyr]

I don't want anyone doing a job where they hold my life in my hands to be picked upon any other quality than their ability to do the job with excellence. What was wrong with meritocracy? We hadn't long got rid of our class system interfering with meritocracy in the UK and we're now we're having this new class system foisted upon us. We got it right with meritocracy. Yeah, let's have plenty of diversity in these workplaces but for the sake of the Gods don't lower the required standards for them.

[@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.

No one has to lower the standards for "them" since it's not "them" who cause 99% of the plane crashes..

[@richardgeorge3136]

Just glad that I don't live close to an airport...I don't need a DEI pilot crashing through my roof ✈️🔥🔥

[@LongNguyen-j1y]

Charlie, bravo!

[@ahmorgan]

U have to be an idiot to listen to Charlie Kirk. The irony of a guy who's not a pilot, never had pilot training, speaking about qualifications he knows nothing about. Yet, you believe him because he's white lol. That's affirmative action. His ignorance is obvious. Just so you know, in order for any pilot to qualify for their ATP certificate, you need minimum 1500 hours flight time. The majority of pilots get that flight time from training other pilots. That means, the vast majority of these so-called DEI pilots are training and being trained by the white pilots you racists claim are more qualified. So again, explain to me how it's possible the black pilots are unqualified yet the people the train are?

[@BrianLawrence-vk3pu]

Would not you just want the best? Why would you nt just want the best? Why does any business owner face questions about meaningless standards outside or encompassing these?

[@herminiabattagliola507]

Exactly , some times just cause you parents where high qualified for something , doesn’t mean there wll the same .

[@LaLaLand11111221]

They should make all congress folks and ceos fly with dei pilots.

[@StandbyHonor]

This happened with the Michigan State Police. The Police that had been on the Force for many years and up for promotions were stepped over so people of color and culture could fill the void in diversity not qualification.

[@tinatovar7548]

Amen Charlie

[@cmflydelta]

I don’t think the guy is an airline pilot. He said he was prior Air Force and he worked in “airframes” (mechanic) and was medically retired. He then poses a hypothetical: IF he becomes a pilot and Charlie sees him in the cockpit…..

[@gfranks5080]

All pilots in the US are licensed under the rules set forth by the FAA. There are no exceptions.

[@OneIncomeSuperSaver]

People should be hired based on experience not because of race or sex..period!
