Description

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby got in hot water recently after defending his company’s aggressive pursuit of diversity in hiring new pilots. So-called DEI initiatives (short for "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion") have been all the rage in corporate boardrooms of late, with some critics questioning whether diversity is a better metric than merit. Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Due Dissidence’s Keaton Weiss and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger to discuss the rise of the term "equity" and just what the hell it means.

When your plane is spiraling out of control towards the ground you can rest easy knowing that your pilot fills a company quota.

Here's an idea... Hire people based on their experience and not their race or sex! Only then, will the best person be available to perform that job. Equal rights has to be equal, without the possibility of special treatment. If you don't have the qualifications for a job, you should not be hired to fill a quota or provide the illusion of companies being woke.

Father in-law is a senior pilot instructor for a major airline; can’t say which one. He has been failing more pilots than anyone in the company cause of incompetence.

Nobody cares what their pilot looks like. We want the best pilots, that's it.
