The Delta flight which flipped upside down while attempting to land on Monday was operated by Endeavor Air, a regional carrier that has been promoting female employees and “unmanned” (or male-free) flights.
No information about the pilots of Delta Connection Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, has been released, so there is no way to know if the employees being promoted in multiple TikTok videos were involved, or if the flight was one of the company’s “unmanned” crews. But it has led to questions from people on social media sounding off about the airline’s hiring practices and apparent focus on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion).
The crash occurred at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Video footage captured a Bombardier CRJ-900 regional jet flipping upside down during its landing attempt, which led to 21 people being injured with no fatalities. Several injured parties remained hospitalized as of Tuesday.
Videos featuring female Endeavor Air crew members have been circulating on social media since the crash. One video is set to lines from the Disney movie “The Incredibles” (2004) and features a voiceover saying, “Girls, come on? Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don’t think so. I don’t think so,” as a female pilot mouths the words and wags her finger.
Another video features female employees getting ready for an “unmanned” flight, while other clips show instances of women working for Endeavor flying planes and attending what appears to be a trade show, all set to upbeat music with girl-power-themed lyrics.

The Endeavor Air flight that departed from Minneapolis-St. Paul had 80 people on board, including crew members. The video also showed windy and snowy conditions on the runway.
Multiple outlets noted that in the videos, it appears the pilot did not perform the usual “flare” maneuver, which involves pulling up the nose of the plane before touchdown to slow the aircraft and ensure a smoother landing.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is leading the crash investigation with assistance from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said on Wednesday during an interview with CBS Mornings that the flight crew was experienced.
“There is one level of safety at Delta,” Bastian said. “All these pilots train for these conditions.”
The CEO also called the video of the incident “horrifying” but praised the flight crew for quickly and efficiently evacuating passengers after the crash. “This is what we train for,” Bastian told the outlet. “We train for this continuously.”
A note on the Endeavor Air website says, “We are aware of an incident involving Endeavor Air Flight 4819. We are focused on gathering more information and taking care of our employees and customers at this time. We will share additional details as they become available.”
