Affirmative Action Nearly Killed Me

Editor’s Note: The Supreme Court will likely officially kill affirmative action this summer, but it will probably survive and get worse in some other form. Merit based hiring and admissions will go before diversity. DEI has become the established religion of the United States. – HW

It’s all fun and games until a Fedex 767 lands on top of your Southwest flight and you never make it to Cancun.

A few months ago, I flew Southwest to Cancun out of Austin’s airport…and I lived. I had in the back of my head thoughts such as, “what if the pilot is drunk?…what if the pilot is on drugs?….what if the pilot is an affirmative action hire?” Yes, I just said it. Imagine dying because Affirmative Action took the yoke and took to the skies. I did not imagine however that there might be an affirmative action hire in the control tower.

Last month, February 4, 2023, at Austin’s Bergstrom Airport, some other people went to Cancun on a Southwest flight – but just barely made it there alive. With their phones off and no sun roof on the 737, the passengers were probably unaware there was a Fedex 767 only 150 feet above them. Fortunately, the captain of the 767 was situationally aware, questioned the directives of the air traffic controller of color, instructed the Southwest flight to abort, went swiftly skyward and the 128 souls on board enjoyed margaritas on the beach later that day.

I won’t go into the details of the many things the controller did wrong that day that could have killed our vacationers – there are plenty of YouTube videos detailing that information. My purpose here is simply to wake people up to the dangers of diversity hires in jobs that require an IQ above 85.

According to some air traffic controllers on Reddit, this controller of color remains employed, endangering airline passengers daily because of the EEOC complaints he files when they attempt to get rid of him.

NTSB is currently investigating this incident. We should know more soon.

By the way, I’m not the only one who is concerned about this.
