Not Every Aviation Accident Is About DEI
Is there a checkbox on a company profile that says someone was hired through DEI? If not, how would you even know?
I’m getting tired of seeing posts blaming DEI whenever there’s an aviation accident or incident and the pilots aren’t white, male, or native English speakers. If the pilot is a white male, it’s treated as an unfortunate accident. But if the pilot isn’t, suddenly people claim it happened because of “DEI hiring” during COVID.
That logic is ridiculous. Judge pilots based on their qualifications, training, experience, and performance—not their race, gender, or accent.
