Scott Kirby, the CEO of United Airlines, has been discovered to be a drag queen.
According to the account Libs of TikTok, Kirby “likes to dress up in drag.”
“United hired a drag queen to be their CEO and now United has turned their focus to incorporating drag into their business and sponsoring drag shows,” the account shared.

Kirby discussed United Airline’s emphasis on diversity targets.
“We have committed that 50% of the classes will be women or people of color. Today, only 19% of our pilots are women or people of color,” he said. “That’s the highest of any airline in the country,” he added.
United Airlines also has a DEI Committee.
The chair of United Airline’s DEI, Maya Tallman, wrote in a letter that “B” should also be included in DEI programs, standing for “belonging.”

The push for DEI programs in the airline industry comes as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is directing its efforts to hire those with “disabilities.”
“Individuals with targeted or ‘severe’ disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the Federal workforce,” the FAA’s website reads. “The People with Disabilities Program (PWD) ensures that people with disabilities have equal Federal employment opportunities.”
“The FAA actively recruits, hires, promotes, retains, develops and advances people with disabilities,” it continues.
Some of the disabilities that the FAA has identified for “special emphasis in recruitment and hiring” include “hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”
