Real-Time DEI Demise Of Airlines: Wheel Flew Off, Rolled Down Runway As Plane Prepared To Take Off

Oh, you may be saying, but that's just one flight. It happens. 'Pobody's nerfect,' right? Yeah. About that … The wheel of a Delta Boeing 757 just flew off while it was preparing to take off at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The wheel then rolled down the runway… could have been catastrophic if it happened a few seconds later

FAA confirms the nose wheel came off and rolled down a hill. Plane stayed on runway for several hours awaiting tow. The Delta incident was even worse than you imagine. Yeah it doesn’t even appear the delta plane was aware its wheel came off. If the other planes hadn’t noticed it this could’ve been really bad. If this doesn’t scare you into not wanting to fly then there’s something wrong with you.

To further illustrate what is happening with air travel, let's not forget the recent adventures of passengers on Alaska Airlines where, just this month, a door blew off a plane mid-flight, another engine caught fire in mid-air, and today, more great news: Alaska Airlines says "many" of its Boeing 737 Max 9 planes were found to have loose bolts. The FAA has now grounded all Boeing 737 Max 9 planes and ordered a full safety investigation. (Just in the nick of time, guys, as usual.) It's been a helluva month for Boeing, hasn't it? But don't worry, everyone. The New York Post has 'assured' us that airplane crashes are now 'safer than ever.' We feel SO much better. Conservative political commentator Matt Walsh talked about all of these incidents recently and while a direct line to DEI is probably not there for all of them, there is a very clear indirect line.

Because, as Walsh noted, when DEI eliminates all merit from hiring considerations in favor of 'identity hiring,' every employee (regardless of their race, sex, sexual orientation, etc.) becomes completely disengaged. Their performance simply does not matter to their employer. So, accordingly, they stop caring as though it mattered. They become, as Walsh states it, totally 'checked out.' It is difficult to argue against the logic there. And, as Walsh concludes, it's one thing when the person in the drive-thru window at McDonald's or the barista at Starbucks is 'checked out.' All that's going to happen there is that they get your food or drink order wrong. It is something else entirely when employees who are responsible for the safety of thousands of passengers every day, hurtling through the air at 500 miles per hour on a 120,000-pound explosive projectile, stop caring. Maybe we should stop focusing on DEI and start focusing on 'making air travel great again.'
