(5,804 posts)46. "I want the best pilot when I fly."
So many of the bigoted commenters said this. How the fuck do they know who the best pilot is? Would they be willing to pay more to fly on the plane with the best pilot?
I commend United on this effort. Only a person with poor reading comprehension of United's statement or a fucking bigot would make such a big deal out of this. It goes to prove that these ignorant people do make assumptions about the fitness of women and minorities to pilot airplanes because they are offended by an attempt to make the pilots more diverse.
