Delta CEO Ed Bastian appeared on CBS Mornings Wednesday to discuss the horrific crash-landing of a Delta-operated plane in Toronto, but instead of offering transparency, he dodged key questions about the pilots—fueling speculation that the crew may have been part of an all-female flight initiative.

Toronto Runway Horror—Plane Flips into Fireball

- Dashcam video shows the terrifying moment the aircraft slammed into the runway, skidded, and flipped over.
- All 80 passengers miraculously survived, but at least 18 were injured, including three critically—one of whom was a child.
- The flight was operated by Endeavor Air, a Delta-owned regional airline known for pushing “diversity” hiring practices, including all-female flight crews.
Delta CEO Evades Questions About Crew
When pressed about who was flying the plane, Delta’s Ed Bastian refused to give an answer—only saying that it was an “experienced crew.”
“I can’t provide any details… it’s an ongoing investigation,” Bastian said, refusing to address mounting speculation that the flight was part of Endeavor Air’s “women in aviation” initiative.
“Diversity Over Safety?”—Critics Demand Answers
The crash has raised questions about whether Delta and Endeavor Air have compromised safety standards in favor of social justice hiring quotas.
Endeavor Air has publicly celebrated all-female crews, pushing promotional flights staffed entirely by women in an attempt to promote “equality” in aviation.
While competence and experience should always come first, Delta’s refusal to answer simple questions has only added fuel to the fire.
The Investigation Continues
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash, but the lack of transparency from Delta’s leadership is already raising serious red flags.
If Delta is prioritizing woke hiring policies over safety, passengers deserve to know.
While CEO Ed Bastian tells CBS Mornings he can “understand” why people would be afraid to fly right now, he says that air travel in the U.S. is “safer than the car ride I took this morning to get to my office."
