It's clearly implied.The gist of the editorial is that hiring more women and black people as pilots will make United Airlines less safe apparently because "people of color" and women could never possibly be the "most qualified".
Where did he say that?
I've cited my comments below with hyperlinks because I realize that someone who makes statements as ignorant and bereft of facts as you have would never take my word that you're wrong nor accept the fact that white racism is the root cause for why there are not more black people flying as commercial pilots. It also takes a fair amount of money to complete the necessary flight training to become an airline transport pilot.I think you don't understand the issue. Nothing wrong with United's training, as far as we know, but blacks aren't usually smart enough to be able to do this kind of work. If they were, you know, they already would be.
Nonsense. It's been 156 years since slavery ended, so if they haven't made it by now, it's because they just can't. Face facts, people. If blacks are as smart as the rest of us, let them prove it.Black people in America are behind the rest of the races due to liberal social policies that derailed the family unit, excuses poor performance.... hell REWARDS poor performance.
I don't give a damn what color someone is, if you never hold them responsible for their behavior/performance... excuse everything they do - you are setting them up for failure. And Democrats have been doing that for 60 years straight. And THAT is why they are behind everyone else. Has nothing to do with their abilities.

Why are you assuming and convinced that women and black people cannot be the best candidates?The gist of the editorial is that hiring more women and black people as pilots will make United Airlines less safe apparently because "people of color" and women could never possibly be the "most qualified". Surprisingly 13% of their pilots are POC while only 7% are women.
I guess letting go is REALLY hard to do and change is scary.
"Only 7% of United pilots are female!" fretted CBS. "Only 13% aren’t White!" OK, but why exactly should we care about those numbers? An airline pilot’s job is to land the plane safely. Everything else is irrelevant. If 100% of United pilots were Black women, or Malaysian Muslims, or for that matter, White men from Alabama, not a single sane person would complain about it as long as the airplanes didn’t crash. Safety is all that matters.But you’ll notice the CEO of United didn’t mention safety. Safety is no longer that airline’s top concern. Identity politics is. United will dispute that characterization, of course. In fact, they disputed it in a statement to "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Wednesday."United Airlines will continue to uphold its high standards," they told us. But they’re lying. We know they’re lying — and you know it too — because in the airline business, there’s only one standard that matters, and it’s not race or gender. It’s competence. The way people look is totally irrelevant. How they perform is all that matters. Once you forget that, airplanes tend to crash.Everyone knows that’s true, very much including the people who run this country. Many of them don’t fly United. They don’t fly commercial.They use NetJets, the largest private airline in the world. Has NetJets embraced equity or hiring quotas? Of course not. Check out the NetJets website if you have a minute. They’ll tell you exactly what they’re looking for in an airline pilot they hire. Here’s the first line: "We seek individuals who demonstrate an unwavering dedication to safety." That’s the first requirement on their list. We couldn’t find any mention of race and gender. That shouldn’t surprise you, because once again, race and gender are literally irrelevant to who flies your airplane. Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry and the rest of our private-jet-dependent ruling class know that perfectly well. They won’t be demanding quotas at NetJets any time soon. Their families fly on NetJets airplanes.So if hiring on the basis of irrelevant criteria will, over time, get people killed, why are they demanding it? Because they don’t care. They’re ideologues. They’re suffering from an incurable brain disease called wokeness. Reality means nothing to them. It’s merely an impediment to their plans.The new head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, a Black supremacist called Kristen Clarke, admitted as much. As she told us a few years ago, equity is more important than safety.
His point was that hiring people based on gender and race over choosing the best regardless of those things can be dangerous.
Because those are occupations in which women were traditionally allowed to work.Tucker needs to watch it.The gist of the editorial is that hiring more women and black people as pilots will make United Airlines less safe apparently because "people of color" and women could never possibly be the "most qualified". Surprisingly 13% of their pilots are POC while only 7% are women.

He's once again implying women can't competently do something--this time, flying planes.
And the people of color, of course, but I doubt if a lot of poc watch him anyway.
Why ARE there so few women and poc pilots? How does one learn that trade, anyway? Unless you're well off enough to own planes or take flying lessons, you learn it in the military, right?
Back to Tucker's earlier screed how women are ruining the military.
He's always been a snide asshole, but he's really going out on a limb lately.
Why are the nurses predominantly women, why were Telephone operators women.............. why were eementary school classrooms filled with women teachers.......
Yeah you dislike what he says, but you offer nothing critical of him either, thus you spin your wheel.
Again, why are you assuming that the best candidates are male and white?There's nothing to say a woman, a Latino, or a black taken into the program won't be as good a pilot as a white dude. They TRAIN them. At school. That's like saying don't admit women to college because they're not as smart as men.
Nuh uh.
No. What they are doing is omitting the best potential pilots based on race and gender. That's what Carlson's complaint is.
Oh my gosh, that's not what he's saying.He's saying they are going to choose less qualified pilots over more qualified pilots based on race and gender.
You post all of that and still endorse basing hiring on skin color instead of merit. You’re a Jamaal Crow hypocrite.View attachment 477904Nonsense.

Makes no sense. That is nonsense.The people you use this "the best" argument in opposition to hiring more women and people of color as pilots fail to realize that a female and/or non-white person who is on board an aircraft also wants "the best" at the controls. In the event of an accident, s/he would be just as dead as everybody else.

Almost all of the white racists on this board are convinced that the language of the Executive Order than created affirmative action stipulates preference be given to non whites and that simply is not the case, however the agency that enforces workplace affirmative action is called the Equal Employment OPPORTUNITY Commission, opportunity being key.
What the CEO is saying that they're going to be doing is what is known as diversity hiring:
What is diversity hiring? A definitionDiversity hiring is hiring based on merit with special care taken to ensure procedures are free from biases related to a candidate’s age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and other personal characteristics that are unrelated to their job performance.In the United States, many organizations follow the Federal EEOC (U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) guidelines.Confusion over diversity hiring sometimes lies in the mistaken perception that the goal of diversity recruitment is to increase workplace diversity for the sake of diversity.The goal of diversity hiring is to identify and remove potential biases in sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates that may be ignoring, turning off, or accidentally discriminating against qualified, diverse candidates.
Why are you assuming and convinced that women and black people cannot be the best candidates?
The word "equity" means "fair and impartial."
Because they haven't been. Show me. Show me. Show me.Why are you assuming and convinced that women and black people cannot be the best candidates?

In a skill based job where literally 100's of lives depend on those skills every single day you work - then the people who recruit those folks better be using a merit based system to hire.
Hiring based on skin color and sex is incredibly irresponsible. As irresponsible as you can get.
