Conservative commentators such as Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire and John Nolte of Breitbart labeled the plan as affirmative action, unleashing a wave of rants on Twitter, topping 10,000 tweets and trending as a political topic.
How reassuring to know that United will hire its pilots on basis of SJW criteria rather than traditional standards of training, prior professional experience (military pilots), and record.

Being good at anything starts with an insatiable desire to do that thing, that usually comes in childhood. Its what drives the hard work that follows. Military training aviators start with that desire too. To say that United is going to start recruiting based on race for this profession is scary, what, to get candidates who “Just need a job”? I want the pilot who lived a lifetime flying.

Why don’t you start with all the executives first. Sorry but for a pilot I want the most qualified, I don’t care what color or gender or sexual persuasion. Using quotas doesn’t get you the most qualified.

I can’t wait to hop on a flight where the primary pilot qualification is that they are not a white male with lots of experience. Make sure you have your life insurance paid up.

But I like the Daily Wire.
