Juno News - Why are planes crashing？ Some say DEI policies are to blame

00:00:00.000 You might have noticed all these recent plane crashes happening in Canada and the United States.

00:00:05.020 The most recent one was at Toronto Pearson International Airport,

00:00:09.080 where a Delta Airlines flight flipped over upon landing.

00:00:12.440 This has prompted some people on social media to ask whether diversity, equity, and inclusion policies are to blame.

00:00:19.400 So True North put together a list of all of the major Canadian airlines and their respective DEI policies.

00:00:25.860 You probably have experience with Air Canada,

00:00:27.820 But did you know that Air Canada requires employees to undergo microaggression and allyship training?

00:00:34.720 Additionally, the board of directors takes into consideration diversity quotas when hiring new members.

00:00:41.300 Now, what about WestJet?

00:00:42.460 Well, WestJet introduced genderless uniforms and all-female flight crews for flights.

00:00:49.060 Discount airlines like Flair are no stranger to woke virtue signaling policies.

00:00:54.260 Flair hosted a Pride flight to market the airline's inclusivity measures.

00:00:59.620 Perhaps it was a good PR move, but does it make flying any safer?

00:01:03.980 That's for you to decide.

00:01:05.600 What do you think?

00:01:06.340 Are airlines playing identity politics at the cost of safety?
