The objective is race baiting. Which should be fairly obvious from the thin content and non sequiter arguments.Do you actually believe this article? And the guy who wrote it is a law school graduate but not a practicing attorney and I can readily see why, if this article is an example of his critical thinking skills.
4 accidents out of 8 accidents huh? Over what period of time? Why not 4 accidents out of all of them, do you know how to even determine that?
I don't know what is more comical, his article or you all are gobbling it up the way you are.

1956β1962
So if DEI is allegedly responsible for four airline accidents in recent years (with 2009 as an outlier), what was causing the dozens of fatal U.S. airline crashes before 1963, when airlines had not yet hired a single Black or female pilot?
- 1956 β Grand Canyon Mid-Air Collision (UA 718 / TWA 2) β Arizona β 128 dead
- 1959 β Braniff Flight 542 β Texas β 34 dead
- 1960 β United 826 / TWA 266 Mid-Air Collision β New York β 134 dead (incl. ground fatalities)
- 1961 β United Airlines Flight 859 β Colorado β 17 dead
- 1962 β American Airlines Flight 1 β New York β 95 dead
All 25 of these crashes happened when:
- Cockpits were 100% white
- 100% male
- Long before βDEI,β affirmative action, or diversity hiring existed in aviation
It should also be obvious from the Trumpster posts, that Rupert Murdochβs sleazy tabloid hit their intended target and triggered bigots.
Which was the intent.
