A minor quibble: socially acceptable only to an insipid group of socially unacceptables. Normal people know it's all bogus.

Good plan. Hire people based on the color of their skin rather than the contents of their brains. What could possibly go wrong? Onward, Social Justice Warriors! Next, on to the NBA!

All best to Delta, but please - find another word than progressive to describe their actions. I've had about as much "progressive" as I can stand.

Jesus, I hope this is not as bad as it looks.

I did NOT CONSENT to the phishing. Watch more carefully the articles you publish, Flightaware!

I'm more interested in what they do when all the pitots freeze up at 49,000 feet altitude, or the autopilot overrides the pilot a dozen other times. Oh, wait ... we already know that.

I wonder what would have happened if ONE - just ONE - passenger had stood up, blocked the aisle and said, "You thug bastards; you're not taking him anywhere." It's awfully hard to carry on a fistfight in a confined space like that. My bet is that, as soon as they went after him, about half the airplane would be on THEM. Maybe not. It's a good fantasy, though. I despise bullies, uniformed or not.

Based on its structural integrity in multiple accidents, the Cirrus seems to be a pretty strong aircraft, but like the famous forked-tail doctor killer, seems to be too much airplane for many low-time pilots to fly.
