When Airlines Choose Diversity Over Safety, Maybe It’s Time To Take The Bus?

This week, United Airlines announced that they will be working to increase the number of women and people of color who become pilots, setting a goal for 50% of the 5,000 pilots trained in the next decade.

The airline made the announcement on Twitter, writing, “Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color.”
