...and how does that make her unqualified? Because you don't like Mitch McConnell? Does McConnell have some connection to Boeing I'm unaware of? Because otherwise I don't see how it's a relevant fact, at least not in this case.
- supercanuck 8y agoAirplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better. Split second decisions are needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!
- dragontamer 8y agoNepotism is wrong, but incredibly common. Its natural for people to question whether or not Nepotism got them a role when people get into a position of power. Ex: do you really think Donald Trump Jr. deserves the powerful White-House role he has? Or was he only put in there because his daddy is the President? Whenever people see nepotism, its only natural to instinctively question the qualifications of the individual. In the case of Chao (and being the wife of McConnell), the fear of nepotism is certainly a factor... but as far as I can tell... its fine because Chao actually has experience in Maritime Transportation. I can't blame anyone for being cautious with nepotism (real or imagined). Being the son, daughter, or wife of someone important isn't a qualification at all. People have to be judged on what they themselves have done in life.
