Daniel Huff, a former White House lawyer, noted in a recent analysis that the drive toward diversity and inclusion in the airline industry has put passengers at risk.
In an article for the New York Post, Huff wrote that President Donald Trump was right to rescind diversity efforts at the Federal Aviation Administration.
That’s because female and minority pilots — many of whom entered the industry amid a drive toward diversity among pilots — were responsible for half of pilot-error crashes.
Despite making up 10 percent of pilots, they were responsible for four out of eight such crashes since 2000.
“The sample size is small,” Huff wrote. “But precisely because crashes are so rare, the few times they occur it’s important to scrutinize who is at the controls; under DEI’s guiding principle of relying on statistical disparities, it’s certainly enough to raise questions.”
“It’s not that women and minorities are inherently unable to fly planes, but in practice, pressure for affirmative action too often leads airlines to lower their standards to meet quotas,” Huff added.
The attorney referenced the 2019 Atlas Air Crash as an example.
Conrad Aska, a black pilot, “panicked after accidentally initiating a go-around procedure and flew the plane into the ground,” Huff wrote.
There were signs that such behaviors were a risk even as he was training.
In simulator exercises, he would “get extremely flustered and could not respond appropriately.”
Even worse, not all diversity-driven safety incidents even reach the public eye.
“Most diversity disasters leave far-from-complete paper trails. Training failures happen behind closed doors. Near-misses can go unreported,” Huff wrote.
“Crashes can be blamed on mechanical failure, understaffing or other politically acceptable causes.”
Despite Trump’s moves to encourage merit-based hiring of pilots and other air travel personnel, major carriers insist on prioritizing diversity.
A senior Delta executive said in January 2025 that the firm is “steadfast” with respect to diversity, which is “critical to our business.”
United wants half of graduates to be women or minorities, while Southwest still commits to “recruit, hire, and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce.”
Huff contended that “airlines have a moral duty to put passenger safety first.”

This horrifying incident could have been easily prevented had one judge done her job and kept Reed in jail beforehand.
Following Reed’s 72nd arrest in August, for which he was accused of assaulting a security worker, CBS News revealed that Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez IGNORED a Cook County assistant state’s attorney’s dire warning on August 22 that Reed had a lengthy criminal history and that his next crime would “likely be violent.”
The attorney added that electric monitoring “could not protect the victim or the community from another vicious, random, and spontaneous attack.”
Instead, Molina-Gonzalez allowed Reed to WALK FREE with an ankle monitor and had this callous response for why:
“I can’t keep everybody in jail because the State’s Attorney wants me to,” she claimed.
Because of this, MaGee came close to losing her life.
A Georgia police officer who responded to a plea from a mother with two kids to ban a man from a public library bathroom has been fired.
Former officer Glen Weaver was axed from the DeKalb County Police Department, according to the Center Square.
The October incident at the Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library in Tucker, Georgia, began when a woman with two children complained to a security guard that a man was in the bathroom. The man was transgender Sarah Rose Swinton, who claimed Weaver told him “That’s the women’s restroom and you’re not a woman. That’s obvious.”

The venue location alone was enough for WaPo to resurrect failed NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, as Super Bowl LX’s “most relevant” figure.
The 49ers’ season ended in the Divisional Round with a heavy loss to the Seahawks.
Kaepernick himself has been out of the game for almost a decade. But he is the “most relevant” figure according to the outlet.
The outlet shared on X, “The Super Bowl is being played in Colin Kaepernick’s former home stadium, at a societal moment that echoes the issues he forced football fans to confront nearly 10 years ago, after he kneeled during the national anthem before a 49ers game.”

Not What He Expected: Van Jones Asks Black Trump Voters If They Would Vote for Him Again-“1,000% Absolutely Yes!”During a segment on CNN, leftist Van Jones asked three Black voters who have supported President Trump in the past if they could do it over, would they vote for him again.
The responses were yeses across the board, with one noting emphatically, “1,000% absolutely yes!”
Jones: If you had to do it all over again, would you vote for Donald Trump again, yes or no?
Voter one: Yes, I would. Now, in the future, I am not a diehard Democrat or diehard Republican. If there were a Democratic candidate who was more aligned for me, then I would vote Democrat.
Jones: If you go back in time, would you vote for Donald Trump, yes or no?
Voter two: Yes.
Jones: I think I might know the answer on this.
Voter two: She said yes. It’s immediately yes.
Jones: If you had to draw over again, would you vote for Donald Trump, yes or no?
Voter three: 1,000% absolutely yes!
