February 9, 2024 BPIAA Counterpoint | Crying Wolf About Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Aviation The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that 92.4% of Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers with 3.6% being Black in this notable occupation! What is absent though is federal Air Traffic Control Specialists (2152), Airways Technicians (2101), and Aviation Safety Inspectors (1825)! Why? Because those numbers are egregious and embarrassing and would show the public the ever present “systemic and institutional racial intolerance” inherent in the Federal Aviation Administration! Furthermore, these numbers and the hidden numbers from FAA evidence that DEI conversations and initiatives remain pretentious and pernicious! The consistent underrepresentation of all minority groups in the aviation sector, private and federal, remains the reality because of a refusal to embrace civil rights, equal employment opportunities, and refusal to shed those patterns and practices of unlawful discrimination and those unlawful employment practices that keeps “all minority groups” relegated to the back of the Bus! Equal opportunity is the law of the land! Salute Black History Month 🇺🇸

At Inspired Solutions, a Black-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned business, we proudly celebrate Black History Month by highlighting the remarkable achievements of African Americans who have broken down barriers and paved the way for future generations. Today, we focus on the inspiring stories of 10 Black pioneers in aviation who defied racial limitations and soared to new heights. From Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman and Native American pilot, to Dr. Evelyn Knight, the first Black woman commercial airline pilot in the US, these individuals faced immense challenges but persevered with unwavering courage and determination. Their stories are a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of pursuing dreams regardless of obstacles. As we celebrate their achievements, we also recognize the ongoing need for diversity and inclusion in every field, including aviation. Let's use this month as an opportunity to learn from these pioneers, amplify their voices, and continue working towards a future where opportunity truly knows no bounds.
