The public’s safety is at risk due to the aviation industry’s hiring practices regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
In a recent incident, a significant part of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX suddenly detached while in mid-air.
This occurrence raises concerns about the prioritization of DEI hiring practices by Boeing over passenger safety.
