WATCH:
Following an emergency landing on United Airlines’ Boeing 777 the day before due to tire loss during takeoff, there was gear failure on Friday.
Cars in a parking lot sustained damage when a United Airlines aircraft headed out of San Francisco lost a tire in midair. The aircraft was safely diverted to land at LAX.
DEI hiring procedures are turning out to be risky.
Last month, a United Airlines flight headed for Boston had to make an emergency landing due to a broken wing.
“United flight 354 diverted to Denver yesterday afternoon to address an issue with the slat on the wing of the aircraft,” a United spokesperson said in an email Tuesday, according to NBC News. “The flight landed safely and we arranged for another aircraft to take our customers to Boston.”

A significant mid-air malfunction affects an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX in January.
A plane door unexpectedly came off while Boeing prioritized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in hiring, which is a worrying development that raises concerns about passenger safety.
Recently, Scott Kirby, the CEO of United Airlines, announced that the airline has changed its hiring procedures and is no longer giving priority to qualifications when choosing employees in order to guarantee passenger safety on flights.
Kirby says that “50% of our classes will prioritize women and people of color over simply hiring the most qualified candidates.”
Kirby is not the sharpest pencil in the box. I don’t care if the most qualified is a woman, man what color or any thing else you can come up with.You are dealing with hundreds or thousands of lives per day. And apparently your failure to hire the most qualified will not only destroy your airline but kill hundreds of people. PS: I have not flown since 2014 and will not. I could see problems then as a passenger looking out the window..
