Delta's Contract Flight Operator, Endeavor Air, Was Obsessed About Removing Men from Cockpits
No men in the plane?? Enquiring minds would like to know
From WesternJournal:
[Doug here: below is a clip of Delta’s operator of Toronto’s crashed plane, Endeavor Air, where the (unmanned?) flight crew essentially drove the plane into the ground HARD. There appears to be no last moment flare-up of the nose to slow the plane’s descent at the end—so that the plane ‘floats’ to a smooth touchdown. Instead, they landed so hard and far too fast as to collapse the landing gear, which are massively robust, and plunging the wings into the ground. What a fiasco of incompetence! The fact that Delta is giving no details of the flight speaks volumes!]
Wednesday on the social media platform X, the prominent conservative account “End Wokeness” posted a disturbing pair of older tweets from Endeavor Air suggesting that the operator prioritized all-female crews.
Endeavor Air was the operator of the Delta Connection flight 4819, which suffered a harrowing but non-fatal crash Monday when one of its passenger jets lost a wing, erupted in flames and rolled upside down after landing on a Canadian runway.
“We’re committed to delivering more ‘unmanned’ flights like these,” a 2017 Endeavor Air tweet read. A photo of four women, two of whom appeared to be dressed as pilot and co-pilot, accompanied the tweet.
Likewise, a similar tweet and photo from 2022 showed another “unmanned flight” featuring four women. [I guess they didn’t like the term “cockpit” either—did they have another term like, err…uh.., “pu**ypit??”]
“End Wokeness,” which has more than 3.5 million followers on X, shared screen shots of the two older tweets in conjunction with a previous post that showed an undated Endeavor Air TikTok video designed — surprise, surprise — to appeal to women.
The very cringe-worthy video even featured three female employees bobbing their heads to upbeat music while sporting the cloth masks of the COVID cult (see the live X post here).
In related news, on the very day of the crash, Forbes published an article that quoted Peter Carter, the executive vice president for external affairs at Delta, as saying that the airline would not reexamine its commitment to DEI.
Of course, none of this means that DEI policies necessarily contributed to Monday’s crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
Nonetheless, no one can doubt that a broader problem exists and that some airlines seem preoccupied with everything except merit.
I've been female all my life (more than 50 years and this does not "appeal" to me. It's appalling. I have a doctorate in Developmental Psychology and I know something about brain physiology. The first female carrier-based combat qualified military pilot was Kara Hulgreen (105/65-10/25/94). She, like the rest of us, simply don't know and can't know what we do not know. So she was the face of equality for women in service when she overshot her landing on a carrier and crashed herself and her jet into the sea. Now, back to what we do know. Men generally have superior visual-spatial skills, integrated with motor skills and it's in the brain. Not all men are better than women in these areas but @100% of males with IQs above 120 (college graduate level) are superior to @ 99% of females. Also, another thing we have known for centuries: Practice makes perfect (*if you have the requisites for skills needed to start with). So, what appeals to me when I fly is that the pilot and co-pilot are men between the ages of 35-50 who have at least 10,000 hours flying time and who speak English as well as any other languages used by air traffic control.
When I look into the cockpit I want to see middle-aged guys with military haircuts. The men with military flight experience have been tested in ways that a simulator and training hours can never replicate. Men are naturally better able to identify a problem, understand and operate machinery, and react under intense pressure. This constant drumbeat of equality is tiresome and dangerous.
