Right-wingers have convinced themselves that planes are unsafe because of diversity initiatives — and some have sworn off flying altogether

    I would love to see the source. The only one I can find is a CEO saying they WANT 50% of the hires to be from certain demografics, and could not find anyone saying it must be no matter what.

      lol you don’t need the source then. That’s exactly the one I’m referring to.

      If you’re saying this isn’t an actual policy, that’s correct. But it is a CEO expressing it publicly, which does carry weight. CEOs to control corporate policy, after all.

      So if the corporate policy is targeted at something like “50% coming from X demographic”, it’s going to affect hiring and promoting behavior. And the problem I’m referring to exists.

      It sounds like you’d want to make a point that a CEO saying such things isn’t connected with such things actually happening, and I don’t think that makes sense.
