A recent setback at American Airlines has once again put the blame on critics of the airline industry's obsession with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
An American Airlines flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Kahului Airport in Maui suffered a “hard landing” on Saturday that left six people briefly hospitalized for minor injuries, it said. NBC news.
“According to a statement from the FAA, the American Airlines Airbus A320 'made a hard landing' on an airport runway at around 14:00 local time. Those hospitalized included one passenger and five flight attendants,” the company reported early Sunday morning.
A report apart from Hawaii News Now notes that first responders were called to the scene around 2:21 p.m.

This is what happens when you hire based on quota and not actual skill.

seen herethe policy states that DEI is “fundamental to American Airlines' culture” and “integrated into the fabric of who we are as a company.”
“From the team members we hire to the customers we serve, diversity, equity and inclusion is a way of life at American Airlines,” the policy page says.
“Every day, our team members work to make America a place where people of all generations, races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities, disabilities, religious affiliations and backgrounds feel welcome and valued” , keep on.
The page further notes that one of the airline's goals is “[e]Ensuring that the diversity of our team reflects the diversity of our global client base.”
Incidentally, airline adoption of IEDs appears to coincide with an increase in mishaps and incidents.
In fact, the incident at Maui's Kahului Airport comes about a week after another American Airlines plane skidded off the runway while landing.
“An American Airlines flight skidded off a runway at New York's Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport around 4 p.m. Thursday, prompting 53 people to be evacuated from the plane”. people magazine reported on January 19.

A day later, another incident occurred: an American Airlines flight headed to Charlotte had to be diverted to Houston because an oven on board caught fire.
“Shortly after departure, crew members of American Airlines Flight 885 from Austin (AUS) to Charlotte (CLT) reported a mechanical problem on board. As a precaution, the flight was diverted in Houston (IAH),” the airline said in a statement at the Houston station. CPC.
“The aircraft landed safely and without incident and taxied to the gate under its own power. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and thank our team members for their professionalism. We are currently working to assist customers affected and are scheduled to return to CLT tonight,” the airline added.
American Airlines isn't the DEI-obsessed online airline that suffers unusual setbacks. They are too Atlas Air i United Airlines.

As for United Airlines, a previously uneventful flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston suffered a hard landing on July 29.
“According to the [National Transportation Safety Board’s] preliminary report, while landing at IAH, the first officer was flying and, despite best efforts to prevent the nose wheel from bouncing, the nose wheel made contact with abnormal force,” reports Simple Flying, a source of aviation news
“The airplane appeared to bounce and reacted by pulling aft on the control yoke, in an effort to prevent the nose wheel from striking the runway a second time. The airspeed brakes were subsequently deployed and the automatic brakes engaged , which caused a second bounce of the nose wheel.
These ricochets reportedly caused significant damage to the aircraft.
But why did the mishap occur? Was the plane acting or was the pilot at fault? According to conservative activist Ashley St. Clair, it might be the second.

In a recent tweet, he claimed the pilot was a DEI recruit who had “failed several training sessions” but had been hired anyway because he checked the correct identity boxes.
“Was the co-pilot a former flight attendant who was fired and then hired through United's DEI program despite being on a list not to return to United?” St. Clair wrote in her tweets.
“Am I correct that this individual failed multiple workouts, including simulator training? Am I also correct that United covered up this DEI disaster and many others?” she added.
