The hosts discuss the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives on the aviation industry, specifically regarding the recruitment of black female pilots. They debate whether hiring based on quotas rather than flight hours compromises safety and professional standards.
United Airlines' Aviate Academy aims to train 5,000 new pilots by 2030, with a specific goal that half of the recruits be women or people of color. The hosts analyze the language used by United executives to frame these quotas as "widening the road" for future generations.
The Biden administration released OSHA rules requiring companies with 100 or more employees to ensure full vaccination or weekly testing by January 4. Dr. Anthony Fauci testified that mandates work, citing a 99% compliance rate at United Airlines and the Houston Medical Association. The hosts critique the phrase "mandates work," suggesting it refers to the effectiveness of coercion and firing workers rather than improving public health outcomes.
