This is Scott Kirby, the CEO of @united. He likes to dress up in drag. United hired a drag queen to be their CEO and now United has turned their focus to incorporating drag into their business and sponsoring drag shows. https://t.co/Hhzd5o6SyN pic.twitter.com/9tqkjTfVvs

Kirby responded to a question about DEI measures at the company saying, “We have committed that 50 percent of the classes will be women or people of color.”
“Today only 19 percent of our pilots at United Airlines are women or people of color.” Kirby then boasted, “And by the way, from all the data I’ve seen, that’s the highest of any airline in the country.”
When pressed for why there were not enough women and people of color in the c-suite by the Axios interviewer, Kirby shrugged off the comment. He then went on to explain how the company requires women and people of color to be engaged in the hiring and interview.
In addition, photos posted by Libs of TikTok reveal that Maya Tallman, a trans-identifying male, is running the newly formed DEI Committee at the company.
