United...

[Wolfman]

Guess I add United to my list of "No Fly" along with Delta.
Tucker Carlson was addressing this issue too. I would want my pilot to be the best, not a particular sex or ethnicity.
World going bat-shit crazy.

Every airline is on my no-fly list.

Southwest if absolutely necessary, but none of the others. Not worth the aggravation.

[Slap]

I knew the airlines were fucked the day I looked up from my seat and some dude was asking me if I wanted peanuts. Wtf? No more in-flight erections. Shit!

Alaska will change your mind.

(and fuck Southwest, too. Just not as much as Delta, United, American.)

But what if he has a nice ass (RIP Virgin, home of in-flight bubble bussy)?

Same as basketball. I’d rather see the best do it.

THE dumbest fucks here can (mostly) all fly planes. It is not rocket surgery. You are just a racist POS.

Tucker Carlson- Nazi Grifter.

Fuck off traitors.

Fuck off orange traitor

Look, this is a good idea to get people that would never consider a career in aviation into the fold.

Will it work? Who know. But it is a start. I believe they will still have issues meeting the 5K goal by 2030 and one of the biggest issues is initial cost.

Aviate requires a private pilots license. Once you have that and are accepted they say they will cover your costs to obtain a PPL. But will that be a direct payment of what you spent to get your PPL? Aviate even estimates the cost of your PPL at over $17,000. How many people can front that, much less also cover living costs and not having a job during that time? Here are quotes from the Aviate web site:

Once you get your Private Pilot License, you’re ready to interview for Aviate, United's industry-leading pilot career development program.

If you don't have a Private Pilot License (PPL) and are accepted into United Aviate Academy, we'll cover the cost (~$17,750 value).

Further this is program takes longer than getting a college degree.

2 months to get a PPL
10 months of flight academy training
1.5 months to transition to the next step
18 months minimum of instructing or flying for a part 135 operator
2 months to transition to the next step
24 months minimum of flying for a United Express operator

That is 57.5 months at a minimum. Most will take longer than that. And at any point along the way people can and will be bounced out when they can't pass the FAA medical exams for whatever reason, fail a drug test including weed, fail check rides, etc.

Again, this is a great start, but hopefully they don't throw out the baby with the bath water in a few years.

Then you do a follow up if it bugs you so much you fat t r a i t o r
