Whoa, they are hiring mentally ill people now? The sensation must be insane! I can already hear it: "Dear passengers, we are arriving at the destination in two hours, by the way, my pronouns are xenoxyr and xenoxeeself!"

So they're hiring Democrats....great.

Deserves its own post.

Is this the one that pissed on an airplane or is it a Karen asking to talk with the pilot?

It's the "that motherfucker is not real" lady who freaked out and wanted to get off the plane.

What I don't like about twitter is that you basically have a three person thread with the order being center up down, which is the least conventional way you could do it at every step.

I completely agree. I think the format suits a low IQ, low attention span audience and I don't care for the way you're a second class user if you don't have enough followers to be seen.

I prefer the tree hierarchy, it's a lot more efficient and allows a person to quickly read a majority of the popular replies, and any one person can be just as visible as another based on the merit of their comment rather than their popularity.

Still, it's the least censorious mainstream platform.

We did it. We dethroned the spam posts.

Sorry Musky - but I see this as a new straw man for the far right. I think it's an extreme example that will never happen...

It's been a policy since 2013.

    Won't be able to get a license. But I predict you'll have some people whining about how the license standards are unfair towards people with disabilities at some point.

    I mean someone who is schizo might be perfectly capable of flying the plane 99% of the time. That's what they're going to argue.

    It's the 1% of the time they forget their meds and do a suicide by crashing the plane into the ground that will be the problem.

    And that has happened before.

    [–]no_u 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    Yes, though the one or two suicide crashes were not due to schizophrenia (which is a serious chronic mental illness that can be discovered through testing, with the exception of very mild schizophrenia, for which people are sometimes plied with drugs). But there was this case.

    Yeah I'm mostly just worried that you'll get a bunch of idiots whining about how their disability disqualifying them from getting a pilots license constitutes discrimination and that in the long term it could result in some frankly idiotic decisions if bureaucrats or politicians see a loosening of requirements as a good why to ensure an election win. Basic culture war bullshit.

    I don't much give a fuck about the programmes to encourage women to become pilots other than thinking them unnecessary wastes of money. No reason why a woman can't or shouldn't be a pilot but I don't see why they need encouragement to be one if they don't want to. I know plenty of women that are scared of driving on the freeway for dumb reasons, but while I think they are being overly paranoid and stupid the last thing I want is to actually encourage them to drive on the freeway since I don't want to share the road with a bunch of inexperienced paranoid drivers.

    I agree with your first paragraph, and hope that the mental health check isn't downgraded in order to allow those with questionable mental health to be pilots.

    Regarding women, they outpace men in academic ability and many of them have flown planes since almost the beginning of manned flight, so I know of no potential disqualification for them.

    [–]Alienhunter 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    There is no reason why a woman can't be a good pilot. I just think a lot of women will not be good pilots. Like if you picked one at random. (And to be fair I think most men probably also wouldn't be good pilots if you picked one at random)

    No reason why women should be discouraged from being pilots, but I don't really much like this kind of programme to encourage a specific sex to pursue a career path they typically don't pursue. Way I see it people who want to be pilots should be encouraged to be pilots regardless if they have the ability. There's no reason why we should be specifically looking for pilots who are women because there's no good reason why being a woman makes you a better pilot.

    I think that piloting will end up being a male dominated field simply because it requires a lot of traveling and that as a whole the group of all men will be more inclined to travel than the group of all women due to childcare realities skewing towards women being more involved in that roll.

    roll

    or pitch or yaw.

    If you hadn't written this on autopilot, perhaps you could have picked them right word.
