Looking for a Safe Flight.

Red Alert! This article makes too much comparisons with communism, Nazism and many other totalitarian regimes and says much “political correctness”.

 

Sometimes it is clear that you can’t contact with those whose views are extreme as anybody who considers Triumph of the Will says the right things or that a mass murder of innocent people in Watchmen was justified. I relate this to those who accepted political correctness standards, as that was committed by many airplane companies believed that skin and gender are foremost instead of craftsmanship. I can’t accept these enterprises, and therefore I boycott all of them, no matter if there have been changes since that, because the damage has been done.

 

It is questionable when a person was forced to do a wicked act because it was under influence of a tyrannical regime, but nothing other than this man is evil if commits that voluntarily. International Air Transport Association is an independent organization, which is considered a cartel, entered an initiative to increase a quantity of women in airlines to 25% by 2025. It has a big list of those who signed that detrimental document, and I mention the most noticeable: Aer Lingus, Air Baltic, AIRBUS, Air France, American Airlines, Austrian, British Airways, Delta Airlines, Etihad, Finnair, Hawaiian Airlines, Iberia, ITA Airways, jetBLue, KLM, LOT, Lufthansa, Rolls Royce, SAS, Swiss, Air Portugal, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Vueling.

 

American airlines under the Biden presidency actively pushed a political correctness agenda. Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and American Airlines went too far by making that a color of skin and gender are priorities for piloting job. Delta Airlines became the top among these infamous enterprises by expelling white people whose T-shirts are ideologically against their views, as it did with a woman who was in the Marines for 22 years and served 15 years in the Air Forces for her clothing which claimed about against suicide among veterans, a thing that every adequate human can agree with if a serving man was a good soldier.

The other US companies supporting political correctness standards were Hawaii Airlines and the tied Alaskan Airlines, both of which exclaimed about that after unification, and a low-cost jetBlue actively entered there by promoting such people to senior positions and conducting ideological events, as it was celebrating anything relating to homosexuals.

 

I loved to use Lufthansa because you could receive Grant’s. Not anymore, if it boldly claims on acceptance of political correctness. In their words, “To promote women, the Lufthansa Group has implemented numerous measures in its staffing processes. For example, every shortlist for management positions must include at least one woman and one man.” There presented statistics on how many women in everywhere of their enterprise, and also inclusion of an origin factor. It wants more women in management positions. Lufthansa makes an individual depicting of their acceptance of homosexuals and people with disabilities by writing, “Diversity and equal opportunity are key elements of the Group’s human resources strategy” and “inclusion of people with disabilities is part of social responsibility”. A German company initiated “DEI-Parture” and has a slogan that couldn’t sound less than communistic or have other comparisons with despotic regimes, which is “Diversity as a strategic goal enhanced”. Well, that company cooperated with Nazi Germany.

I had a dream to sit in an Air France’s plane one day, but our paths have never crossed. We were always separate, as it reveals. This corporation, as well as merged with them Dutch KLM, speaks openly about instilling political correctness requirements in gender and sexual orientation. Air France shows their dubious pride through respective statistics of percentages of non-white males. It has a goal to hire fifty people with disabilities from 2024 to 2026.

British Airways in their depiction says, “We celebrate diversity and inclusion”. They’re striving to represent gender and ethnicities, writing, “We've also proudly supported our LGBTQ+ network, Flying Proud, who continue to raise awareness, create belonging, and engage allies.”

SAS claimed, through hideously directed video, that many Scandinavian traditions were taken from other cultures. “What is truly Scandinavian?” is a question of their advertisement in which they make mistakes, such as that a sandwich smørrebrød is Dutch, whereas it’s Danish. I shouldn’t remind, but I do, that this commercial had a respective variety. While the most abysmal is that a corporation dares to involve children. Itself, SAS orients on political correctness in personnel.

ITA Airways centralized on propaganda promotion of what was called by them as “female talent”, but it doesn’t forget about following the main ideology: “We will build a fair and inclusive environment that promotes social and cultural diversity and enhances human capital through lifelong learning.” Of conducted events, a company had a day devoted to homosexuals.

Austrian Airlines isn’t much different in making a political correctness environment, as well as their want to have more women everywhere, and personally, it celebrated Pride Month.

Iberia complained that it had 18% females in management positions in 2018, and it wanted 40% women to 2025. A corporation launched a political correctness program in its staff.

Swiss and Aer Lingus keep to the usual in that situation: creation of political correctness surrounding, as well as Finnair, which additionally promotes homosexuals.

AirBaltic respects a presence of political correctness and participates in competitions of that kind. However, I wouldn’t use them without that after having a single experience, which was in shaking and uncomfortable seats. I believed that I was an unlucky guy, but I could already hear it was a misjudgment.

More radical acts from low-cost European corporations. It is a hectic psychopathy when you’re reading on Vueling’s site, which contains a too familiar thing as, “we’ve set out in a manifesto our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion” that was in installation of Equality Plan, and it also writes, “We at Vueling strongly believe that gender equality and diversity not only strengthen our team but also enrich our corporate culture and contribute to the company’s success”, and this Spanish company is extremely oriented on having a lot of women: 51,5% out of all personnel, 40,3% in leadership positions, 76,5% are cabin crew members. Exactly, it wants to increase in their presence.

EasyJet, as aforementioned, wants to create a political correct staff. Their falling into lunacy in this: it doesn’t like that four out of ten children believe a pilot can be only a man and only 28% of boys think that a woman can take a wheel. This English enterprise wants to end with what they call a “stereotype”. It created a summer flight school encouraging females to join aviation.

Ryanair created Gender, Diversity & Inclusion Committee, whose described goals are: “The Committee introduced measures to promote and encourage diversity, equality and inclusion including an updated gender inclusive uniform policy, International Women’s Day initiatives and Pride celebrations.”  A corporation supports political neutrality, claiming, “Ryanair is politically neutral, and prohibits contributions to political parties, political think tanks and any equivalent political donations, either directly or indirectly.” It becomes a thick lie when its CEO reveals himself as another far-left. He disclosed in one interview that doesn’t like Elon Musk because that person supported Donald Trump. Ryanair’s CEO is primitive in argumentation, which was considering the billionaire as “idiot”. This man is disrespectful toward his stuff, calling them “lazy bastards”, those who forget to print tickets he said, “We think they should pay €60 for being so stupid” and his view about people asking for money back was that: “You're not getting a refund so fuck off. We don't want to hear your sob stories. What part of 'no refund' don't you understand?” No awareness from this man about a human factor–that something can happen, and you should change plans. It makes to understand why you can’t make a simple cancellation without asking for return of money. The CEO doesn’t know a modern life, believing that installing Starlink on planes is useless, basing on that people won’t use Internet on a one-hour flight. He is an arrogant human, saying this, “Do we carry rich people on our flights? Yes, I flew on one this morning and I'm very rich” and that “People either see me as Jesus, Superman or an odious little shit. I think I'm Jesus. A prophet in his own time.” Musk did a correct response: “utter idiot” and called to fire that man. Jokingly, he thought about buying Ryanair and putting on a CEO’s place a man with name Ryan. Personally, I don’t regret with Ryanair because it was a peculiar interesting experience.

 

I don’t have an intention to come to many Arab World states, but anyway I won’t use companies of these origins if they will in choices in my planning direction. Etihad for “gender equality” and that male shouldn’t overdominate in staff. Emirates for “women power and empowerment” in their agenda, and it goes with giving big statistics on a percent of where women took positions. As also, they invited a terrorist supporter for their commercials that I saw on my sea cruise. It wouldn’t be different if chosen man there be Bin Laden or anybody from suicide bombers. Right, these advertisements were explosive.

If Turkish Airlines signed that document about female quantity, I wouldn’t use them because it belongs to an authoritarian government.

A Thai company, PC Air, didn’t put their initials but it hires according to requirements, as it reports “three transsexuals, 17 women, and 10 men”.

 

I should be careful with planes themselves, as AIRBUS, which wants a political correct personnel (including attention on disabled people) and participates in some National Diversity Awards; and never use MAX flying machines from Boeing after many reports about losing of pieces in flights.

 

I expressed favor to LOT, and their goal isn’t dreadful in comparison with everybody, but it isn’t right that Polaks had aim to increase women from 5% in 2019 to 7% in 2024.

AirPortugal, who joined to that club, wasn’t detected in execution of the program. What is the most interesting, that tickets from these not-far-extreme companies aren’t expensive. As that also about Volotea, who is clear.

WizzAir didn’t put a signature, but it wants to be funny a little bit, as can be read on their website: “Wizz Air is committed to enhance gender diversity across the aviation industry, continuing to increase the proportion of women across all function at the airline.” A Hungarian enterprise organizes all-female flights every International Women’s Day, as it was to five countries in 2025. Hilarious, it gives them job in a day that should be day off for them. “The all-female flights are an annual initiative, organized by Wizz Air since 2022, to increase awareness of gender diversity and opportunities in aviation. Wizz Air has also pledged to diversify its management teams, streamlining access to leadership positions for women”, was published on March 8, 2025. A current quantity of females in WizzAir is 5%, but it wishes to change it, as a corporation made to know in their statement: “Through initiatives like the “She Can Fly" program which provides attractive financial schemes for female cadets, the company aims to further increase female representation – with a goal of at least 7% by 2030.”

 

In the nineties, there was released a monumental Ukrainian show Kalambur (Pun in English), which had a section called Steep Dive. It was about a falling plane over the period of 325 episodes, and its commander always makes black humor jokes about we’re all going to die. After all these companies, I would entrusted only to guys from Steep Dive because they have understanding in professionalism, and I won’t tell how all that ends. If taking one actuality, I see that the only acceptable choice is SpaceX. But it flies too far.
