People looking to book flights are making sure to avoid the DEI-soaked Boeing company's airliners so they don't DIE. 

According to Fox Business, some customers are terrified of Boeing planes after repeated stories of the company's planes literally falling apart, sometimes mid-flight. While no one has yet died, nobody is lining up to be the first if they can help it. Those who can't are reportedly resorting to other means of dealing with their terror.

Another traveler, Stephanie Walls, told the news outlet that her normal ritual of praying during air travel wasn’t enough to stop her from re-booking a flight so she could travel on an Airbus plane instead of a Boeing aircraft.

Another traveler, Stephanie Walls, told the news outlet that her normal ritual of praying during air travel wasn’t enough to stop her from re-booking a flight so she could travel on an Airbus plane instead of a Boeing aircraft.

"I just know that it’s something I would be thinking about a lot right as I get on the plane, so I’m just trying to limit that for my mental health," Rojas said.

Another interesting development has occurred in how people book flights. According to the online booking service Kayak, users of the sight have been altering their settings to avoid getting booked on Boeing planes. 

Since the Alaska Airlines incident, travel search engine Kayak has observed a significant shift in user behavior, reporting a staggering 15-fold increase in the usage of its aircraft filter in January. The data highlights a heightened desire to know the exact model of aircraft prior to booking their flights.

On Monday, RedState reported that Boeing's CEO is stepping down as part of a major shake-up after major failures:

Boeing CEO David Calhoun will step down from the embattled plane maker at the end of the year as part of a broad management shakeup after a series of mishaps at one of America’s iconic manufacturers.

Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing’s commercial airplanes unit, will retire immediately. Stephanie Pope, the company’s chief operating officer for less than three months, has taken over leadership of the key division.

This decrease in the quality of the planes seems to stem from a focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies which prevent a company from focusing on merit and skill and more on the identity of the person hired. This creates a reduction in quality, resulting in major consequences. 

As the Daily Wire reported, Boeing refused to deliver the names of the 25-member team that worked on a door plug that came off of the Alaska Airlines plane that had its mishap earlier in March: 

Earlier this month, National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation that Boeing refused to tell investigators the names of people on a 25-member team that worked on a door plug that came off the Alaska Airlines plane.

“Boeing has not provided us with the documents and information that we have requested numerous times over the past few months, specifically with respect to opening, closing, and removal of the door,” Homendy told lawmakers. “Without that information, that raises concerns about quality assurance, quality management, [and] safety management systems.”

While it's not entirely clear as to why Boeing is refusing to provide this list, there are clues that it's doing so to protect its stances on DEI. As one former Boeing employee posted to X, he resigned over Boeing forcing DEI indoctrination on its employees and hiring workers with skills not up to par with Boeing's previous standards. 

“I resigned from Boeing because of their DEI indoctrination. How about you stop pushing DEI and pronouns?!? You guys act like you build vacuum cleaners. Live and die on SPI/CPI [schedule performance index/cost performance index]. Building/Maintaining aircraft is a human activity. Treat your mechanics and engineers with the respect they have earned with their skill sets. Stop focusing on indoctrination. The suits need to be fired! #Boeingkills #Boeing #DEIkills If it’s Boeing, I’m not going!”

Passengers are right to worry. Airliners being in tip-top shape is necessary to save lives and sometimes even the most minute of mistakes in the building process can have devastating results.

This is one more example of how DEI isn't just irresponsible, it's dangerous.
