    I also enjoyed the quote from a man saying “you don’t see little girls playing with model planes” as proof that women genetically aren’t meant to be pilots in an article denying the industry has an inclusion problem that needs to be addressed.

    “We’ve noticed a lack of women becoming pilots so we created a DEI department to see if there might be some things we’re doing that is discouraging women from seeking this as a career”

    “Hiring women pilots!? How are women going to fly a plane!? They can’t even drive a car! We’re going to get more plane crashes if we hire women as pilots! They should just be a stewardess! And what happened to those short skirts they used to wear?”

    “…well good news is we figured out the problem in record time!”
