    Perhaps it was, but the argument isn’t that DEI candidates are infallible it’s that she was already an established high performer. Seems like it’s ok to move beyond this ridiculous DEI argument and try to figure out why one our best was able to get into this predicament and what we can learn from it for the future. Pretty sure that’s where we would be already if it was either a white male pilot or we didn’t have a country full of idiotic bigots.
