DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

Your daily dose of Australia. Sorry no koalas today

Terrific flight along the coast this morning #cessna172 #avgeek
