Why are planes crashing more frequently?
So you've been flying for a living since 1991, so that's almost 35 years, which is amazing. For the rest of us, we're about the same age. It seems like commercial air travel in the United States has declined in, like, at a shocking rate. It's just much worse. A lot of things have gotten better. We have the Internet and iPhones. Why is commercial air travel in this country... and not around the world, but in this country specifically, like much worse than it was. What is that? Well, I think,
Legitimately, there's been a corporate change in this country. ESG started to take over. You've got the Larry Finks of the world that are driving corporations or CEOs toward issues that not necessarily are customer oriented.
How does DEI affect pilot training and safety?
Yeah. So when... Oh, ESG doesn't help the customer?
Well, not the internal customer anyway. So as we go through this process, this slow creep, those need to set an investment score. People with differing ideas of customer service and what's important are able to drive forward their message. So we get away from customer service. Airlines run on three things, right? They run on fuel, planes, and people. When we start taking... The people out of the mix, right, because it's all about buy more airplanes. It's about driving that score so we can drive the share prices so that we can then get the lower financing rate to get airplanes. We go away from that time when a Gordon Bethune or a Herb Kelleher said, you take care of your internal people. They'll take care of your customer. So everything's bottom line now, Tucker.
And yet ESG is not really, like, strictly speaking, bottom line. It pleases Larry Fink, who's probably done more than any person to really hurt this country, but sidebar. But it, you know, for your average customer, you're like, well, You get the feeling that like incompetent people are in air traffic control, incompetent people are in the cockpit. I don't know if that's true or not, but it shakes people's faith, scares the crap out of people. And then planes start crashing and you're like, that's why. That seems like against the core interests of the business.
I would agree, but because people at the corporate level want to drive the interest rates down to be able to grow because it's all about expanding, who is the biggest, right? And so they have to follow some of those mandates.
Yes.
And so then we start looking at a particular CEO who said in 21, 50% of my incoming pilots will be women or people of color. First of all, that number is impossible. They don't exist. But when you take merit out of it and you start hiring people based on an attribute that has nothing to do with flying airplanes or controlling them, you start moving down a path of incompetence and it breeds itself all the way down throughout every department in the airline.
Nicely put. I should note the obvious, which is that you are a woman. And you started flying, you said, commercially in 1991. the year I left college. So like there can't have been too many female pilots flying commercially in 1991.
The original 21 female airline pilots broke the glass ceiling. I didn't break it, but I kind of crawled through because of them. And, you know, on we go. But in all of my career, I've always been one of the guys. I'm an airman. I'm proud to be an airman. You can't call me an air person. I've earned it because I've done exactly what everyone else has done. And so when a passenger comes on and they look in the cockpit now today... They look a little sideways that there's a woman up here. Definitely. And especially if I might be sitting next to a Hispanic or an African-American, they're wondering how we got our jobs.
Yes, that is absolutely right.
So DEI hurts those that weren't a product of it as well. And that's unfair to me and to my coworkers.
Have you noticed this internally? You said a CEO of an airline announced four years ago that we're going to hire 50% female or non-white pilots. But do you feel that as a pilot? Do you notice the standards changing?
