So the problem with that is you could have 2 people that meet the qualifications making them both "qualified" but...
Where the issue with DEI comes in is that both may be "qualified" but the person that scored lower would get hired over the person that scored better in the interest of "diversity".
Personally, I'd rather have the person that scores best; regardless of color or sex.
That's not even taking into account that often organizations lower standards in the interest of "diversity".
Then you need to apply that logic to drivers licenses.

One would hope so. But you have to wonder if skin color or gender being a deciding factor if you’re actually getting the best candidate for the job.

Delta Air Lines has revealed information about the crew on board a flight from Minneapolis that crashed and flipped upside down at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday.

Officials say the captain was hired by Mesaba Airlines in October 2007, which merged with Pinnacle Airlines in 2012 to form Endeavor Air, a subsidiary of Delta that operated the flight to Toronto. Additionally, he has served as an active duty captain and in pilot training and flight safety capacities.

So, what were the "scores" of the pilot on that plane?

We don't know. I was explaining how DEI hiring initiatives could result in a less qualified person getting hired instead of the most qualified.

Well, you may think that. I certainly don't. I just want the pilots flying my family around to be as good as possible and were hired based on their skill and not their sex or skin color.
If that person happens to be a woman or black person then so be it. Who cares?

Stop making so much sense. You're messing with Who's narrative.

Interesting.

Are there more plane accidents happening this year? That’s not what federal data shows
