What about that captain of a cruise ship who ran aground and half-capsized the ship because he was showing off to his girlfriend?
I don't think he was lesbian or any kind of DEI hire.
I am not reading through this whole thread. I do think a full investigation must be made to prove or disprove incompetence. I think the carpet munching is secondary. And even if she was promoted in order to comply with DEI, being a DEI hire is not the cause of the accident. I am not defending her or even backing up
@AZLong .
I don't know if I can make the point any clearer.
I get it, they have not lost a ship since the time of WWII. And the only time they have lost one is just now. And I am okay that it turns out to be DEI hire causes problems, And I think it does.
A long time ago, before you could get you engineer stamp, you had to work in the field and log some time doing road construction or electrical work. An architect had to weld or nail on a few tails before designing them for others.
Problem was, most woman and, of course, cripples could not complete the physical work requirements. So, they got rid of that internship requirement. And so you have engineers and architects designing stuff, never having once picked a hammer.
