These people are so stupid and they got called out for it. Great examples in the article so click through to read them.

On Tuesday, the airline found a way to stir up people once again when it announced that its hiring processes for pilots would be based on racial and gender quotas rather than who might be the best person for the job.

“Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color. Learn more and apply now,” United said on Twitter.

The company also posted a video that announced the apparent end to meritocracy regarding who flies its aircraft, which shuttle millions of people across the country and world.

That video featured the voice of a female pilot soothing passengers while preparing for takeoff. The graphics also announced future identity politics-based hiring practices would be a venture with corporate “partners.”

“Over the next decade, United will train 5,000 pilots who will be guaranteed a job with United, after they complete the requirements of the Aviate program — and our plan is for half of them to be women and people of color,” United CEO Scott Kirby said in a news release.

If United’s social media team and corporate managers thought the sentiment posted online would inspire people, they were disappointed. The company was relentlessly attacked by people with safety concerns.
