Amid rumors that an all-female flight crew was at the helm of the Delta Air Lines flight that crashed and flipped upside down in Toronto this week, the company's chief executive officer is refusing to identify the pilots.
"I can't provide any details," Delta CEO Ed Bastian said Wednesday morning on CBS. "It's an ongoing investigation."
When asked specifically about the pilots, Bastian said: "It was an experienced crew."
"There is one level of safety at Delta," Bastian said. "All these pilots train for these conditions."
While he called video of the crash "horrifying," he praised the actions of the crew deducting the evacuation process.
"This is what we train for," Bastian noted. "We train for this continuously."
Meanwhile, video has emerged of the pilots of Endeavor Air, which operated the Minneapolis-to-Toronto flight.
One clip is set to the 2004 Disney movie "The Incredibles" and includes the lyrics: "Girls, come on? Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so. I don't think so."
A female pilot os shown lip-synching the words as she wags her finger in a negative manner.
LibsofTikTok says it appears Endeavor "is fixated on promoting all-female 'unmanned' flights." The reference to "unmanned" implies male-free.
As WND reported Tuesday, Delta Air Lines is coming under severe criticism for doubling down on its push for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, just days before Monday's spectacular crash at Toronto Pearson Airport.
On Feb. 6, Peter Carter, chief external affairs officer at Delta, said: "We are steadfast in our commitments because we think that they are actually critical to our business."
"Sustainability is about being more efficient in our operations and really DE&I is about talent and that's been our focus."
"The key differentiator at Delta is our people," Carter added, according to Fox5Atlanta.
