‘Think the passengers who almost died in Toronto give a flying [bleep] about if the pilot [has sex with] dudes or the flight attendant’s great grandma was a non binary Native American?’

Delta Air Lines is coming under severe criticism for doubling down on its push for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, just days before Monday’s spectacular crash involving a Minneapolis-to-Toronto flight that flipped one of its planes upside down during landing.
On Feb. 6, Peter Carter, chief external affairs officer at Delta, said: “We are steadfast in our commitments because we think that they are actually critical to our business.”
(Note: Some graphic language in this new footage of the crash):
“Sustainability is about being more efficient in our operations and really DE&I is about talent and that’s been our focus.”
“The key differentiator at Delta is our people,” Carter added, according to Fox5Atlanta.
Among those slamming the airline in harsh terms is comedian Tyler Fischer, a frequent face on the Fox News Channel, who said on X:
“This is from Delta’s DEI website. An airline OBSESSED with the race and sexual preferences of their workers. Think the passengers who almost died in Toronto give a flying F*** about if the pilot [has sex with] dudes or the flight attendant’s great grandma was a non binary Native American?”
“Just land the damn plane right side up. Look at their site it’s insane:”
