A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

...why do you do this?

Your link says:

“The U.S. carriers rankings are dragged down by the fleet age of their aircraft, however all have major replacement programs in place but it will take time for that to reflect in the rankings,” says Thomas.

That is, the people responsible for ranking airline safety, and in contrast to Rob Schneider and everyone who agrees with him, identify aging aircraft as the reason United's safety rating fell from 14 to 25.

Your link also said:

“This year we went for a top 25 because the margins were so small between these airlines,” Geoffrey Thomas, the editor-in-chief of AirlineRatings.com, told me in an interview.

So, the distance between United Airlines at 25 and American Airlines at 22 isn't that big.

But instead of taking Geoffrey Thomas's word for it, Schneider and anti-DEI company are like, "Aging aircraft? Maybe..but more likely it's women and people of color!" This is more evidence that they are racist and misogynistic.

Mmhmm, that just does what Schneider does.

While Bailey doesn’t believe diversity makes traveling safer, the two have frequently been tied together.

But this is such poor reasoning as to demand a cliché: correlation does not imply causation. And that it has been tied together by Emperor God King Musk and coincidentally only those with anti-left wing sentiments is hardly evidence of anything at all except their own biases against women and people of color.

Did you read below as to why there isn’t diversity in pilots? It sounds like that is where United could make a difference but they don’t. I wa shocked. I assumed most pilots came from the military. Most come from self training. That means low people struggle to become pilots. Many black people come from low income families. As such United should setup training in low income schools to provide the opportunity to people. That would be effective in hitting their goal but also making sure the pilots are qualified.

Yeah, but how United could make a difference isn't the issue. I mean, I agree....but...

It's that movement against diversity employs racism to make its case.

You can’t call a Filipino racist. Only whites can be racist according to the left.
