In what some industry insiders have described as a clear case of “one-upmanship,” Delta Airlines has raised the diversity, equity, and inclusion bar even higher after introducing its new “short plane” specifically designed for special needs pilots. …
“This is a huge step forward for the retarded folk, er, I mean, the special needs community,” said Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastain. “Those who are mentally and physically handicapped are severely underrepresented on our teams that operate multi-million-dollar aircraft and hold countless lives in their hands. Thanks to our new aircraft, no disability is too significant to keep someone from flying for Delta!”
“What could go wrong?”
