“Woke” the United Airlines way

Marty Watters, Investigative reporter

United Airlines just announced a new pilot training program that celebrates choosing pilots for its cockpits based on race and gender rather than talent, ability, education and experience.

Good for you, United, because as any "good" person knows, "wokeness" trumps safety.

And the "good" decision makers at United have always figured out a way to make their brand of "wokeness" work for them.

Take, for example, the savings United realized when it made the "woke" decision to hire an unqualified pressure washer and his crew of Mexican day-laborers to illegally remove cancer-causing asbestos from United's former World Headquarters, and dump it next to a children's playground in suburban Rolling Meadows, IL.

How very "woke" of them to employ those minority day laborers to do their hazardous criminal dirty work.

But both these demonstrations of United's virtue-signaling "wokeness" most likely will result in the death of many of its customers and employees. But apparently that's okay with United's top brass.

However, is the "woke" crowd that United is pandering to these days okay with under-qualified minority pilots dying in the plane crash along with the airlines' customers and employees?

And will they be okay when the Mexican day-laborers die of cancer along with United's customers and employees?

Can they even make those kind of cold-blooded exceptions and still be considered "woke"?

I don't think so.

No, United's decision to put less-qualified pilots in the cockpit and use Mexican day-laborers to illegally remove its asbestos problem is not about being "woke" at all.

Like everything else United does, these are just sleazy ways to obtain cheap labor in order to further line the greedy pockets of United's top brass and their corrupt political allies.

Do us a favor United, go back to sleep.

You're not fooling anyone.
