华盛顿，2月13日（路透社） – 联邦航空管理局（FAA）周五表示，所有美国航空公司必须证明其正在实行基于功绩的飞行员招聘制度，否则将面临联邦调查。
运输部长肖恩·达菲（Sean Duffy）表示，此举是为了应对”航空公司基于种族和性别进行招聘的指控”，并补充说，根据该指示”所有美国航空公司都将被要求证明这种做法已被终止”。

没有证据表明任何美国航空公司正在雇佣不合格的飞行员。美国联邦航空管理局周五的通知称，航空公司必须”确保飞行员招聘完全基于功绩，以履行其提供最高安全保障的职责”。
代表美国航空、联合航空、达美航空和西南航空等主要客运航空公司的美国航空业协会（Airlines for America）表示，”安全始终是，也将永远是美国航空公司的首要任务”。该组织称，其”航空公司遵守所有联邦法规和法律，包括与资质、培训和执照相关的法规”。

美国航空公司飞行员历来以白人男性为主。
联合航空公司2021年设定了到2030年培训5000名新飞行员的目标，其中至少一半是女性或少数族裔。该公司当时称，其约12000名飞行员中，女性仅占约7%，少数族裔占13%。该航空公司周五未置评。
特朗普政府上任三周后，联邦航空管理局推翻了一项四年前的决定——将对飞行员的安全提示重新命名为”飞行员通知”（Notice to Airmen）。
2021年12月，在拜登前总统任内，联邦航空管理局将这些提示重新命名为”空中任务通知”（Notices to Air Missions），简称NOTAMs，称此举”涵盖所有飞行员和任务”。

WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday that all U.S. airlines must certify they are conducting merit-based hiring for pilots or face a federal investigation.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the action was to address “allegations of airlines hiring based on race and sex,” and added under the directive “all U.S. carriers will be required to certify this practice is terminated.”

Shortly after taking office in January 2025, President Donald Trump issued sweeping executive orders to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the United States and pressured the private sector to join the initiative.

There is no evidence that any U.S. airline is employing unqualified pilots. The FAA notice Friday said airlines must “ensure pilot hiring is exclusively merit-based to fulfill its duty to provide the highest possible degree of safety.”
Airlines for America, which represents major passenger airlines including American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines said “safety is, and always will be, the top priority for U.S. airlines.” The group said its “carriers comply with all federal regulations and laws, including those related to qualifications, training and licensing.”

U.S. airline pilots have historically been overwhelmingly white and male.
United, which in 2021 set a goal to train 5,000 new pilots by 2030 with at least half being women or people of color, said at the time that only about 7% of its roughly 12,000 pilots were women and 13% were people of color. The airline declined to comment on Friday.
Three weeks into the Trump administration, the FAA reversed a four-year-old decision to rename safety messages to pilots and reinstating the prior “Notice to Airmen” term.
In December 2021, the FAA under former President Joe Biden renamed the messages “Notices to Air Missions,” commonly known as NOTAMs, saying it was “inclusive of all aviators and missions.”
