I don’t know about you but I don’t care what race/gender/sex orientation my airplane pilot is as long as they’re the most qualified to fly my family safely, not because there needs to be equal outcome of pilots who fill certain race/gender/sex orientation quotas.

This is a such a specious statement, it hardly qualifies as an argument.

It is unlikely that the pilot is “the most qualified to fly…”. Only one pilot would be “[n\b]the most[/b] qualified”. It is unlikely that such pilot is flying you.

But every pilot who flies is qualified, just as every surgeon is qualified to perform surgery, every lawyer is qualified to practice law, etc. That because the regulatory bodies, reviled by conservatives as unnecessary, obstructive, costly bureaucrats, see to it that incapable professional do not practice.

DEI does not permit incompetents to engage in practice. It works to achieve a system in which potentially the best are not denied the opportunity to become educated, become trained, and practice simply because of their “race/gender/sex orientation”.

Presumably you want a highly qualified pilot, even if that person is a transgender person of color adhering to a religion you find abhorrent.
