Right-wingers have convinced themselves that planes are unsafe because of diversity initiatives — and some have sworn off flying altogether

I've seen this on Facebook. Now and then Facebook will show me a page that follows the investigations into these issues, and if I scroll through the comments, I'll often see, "This is because of DEI!"

On a related note, I'm always amused that people are extremely personally invested in either Boeing or Airbus, as though their next personal jet airliner would never be of the other brand. Kind of like how some people are very loyal to their brand of car and fanboy the hell out of that brand. It just feels like more tribalism to me.

You have to pick a sports team, a beer, a truck, and a plane. That's your identity. But only two genders are allowed.
