Comedian Rob Schneider called out United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby in a recent X post, accusing the CEO of pushing diversity in his company at the expense of safety.
It’s not racism or misogyny to want the most qualified candidate when safety and lives are involved.
But that’s not how the criticism works against diversity. Rob Schneider said he wouldn’t fly United after a safety incident because they prioritize diversity overs safety, according to his view.
You’re right, it’s not racism or misogyny to want the most qualified candidate.
It is racism and/or misogyny to firmly believe safety issues arise because of diversity, as if the policy is the sole reason any safety issues could come about. The flow of logic is the opposite of what you’re saying. It basically asserts that the only reason safety issues occurs is because of the demographic makeup of the crew.
But hey, feel free to correct me: what does diversity have to do with safety?
As with everyone else, I don’t want to put words in your mouth.

Not at all. Since they are focusing on DEI more than safety, it is neither racist or misogynistic.
Since their ratings are dropping, it appears there is some credence to it.
You have a pool of candidates if they are ranked based on qualifications the order is not guaranteed to be the same as if you prioritize diversity. If you want the most qualified candidates the only way you can guarantee it if you only focus on qualifications.
As the second article i posted points out. There is just enough diversity in pilots that you can set a goal of 50%. That means to hit that goal, you have swap quality to get there.
