Recently, a plane from Toronto – Delta Air Lines had to make an emergency landing on Toronto Pearson International Airport and turned upside down. Viral shares spread on social media after the incident, claimed that all pilots on the plane were women. Moreover, sexist interpretations spread rapidly. So, what is the accuracy of these claims?

The plane had to make an emergency landing due to an unexpected technical breakdown. Fortunately, thanks to the professional intervention of the crew, all passengers on the aircraft were released safely and there was no serious injury. However, after the incident, some shares spreading on social media platforms, women’s staff on the plane almost put the target.

Endeavor Air, which is affiliated to Delta Air Lines, continues to publish videos about his policies that emphasize women in Tiktok. These videos aim to introduce flights entirely of female pilots. However, recently, especially after this strange accident, these videos have encountered aggressive comments and negative reactions.

Some of the social media users question whether the pilots involved in the accident have lack of experience and whether Delta has been hired as part of the efforts to diversify the labor force. Such speculation led some users to question female pilots’ adequacy and criticize diversity policies.

Source of claims

These allegations are based on the shares of some passengers on the plane on their social media accounts. However, Delta Air Lines officials quickly denied these claims. Company officials stressed that the crew on the plane is completely professional and experienced.

And the facts

The number of female pilots in the aviation sector is increasing day by day and this is considered an important step in terms of gender equality. However, the investigations in this event do not provide clear information about the gender of the crew on the plane. Delta Air Lines said that such claims should not overshadow important achievements in aviation security.

The compulsory descent of the Delta Air Lines plane to Toronto Airport brought many speculation on social media. However, the important point was to safely release all passengers and crew. The allegations about female pilots have not been confirmed and it would be more accurate to focus on the professionalism and experience of the crew.
