FAA’s diversity push includes focus
on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’
and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities

You have to remember that ALL DEI hires at the FAA will receive immunity from any deaths or injuries suffered as a result of their "disabilities". The Government will always determine winners and losers. That's the Communist way.

If Biden is reelected, you'll have blind, psychotic air traffic controllers staffing the terminal radar approach control (TRACON) facilities.

We have lost our ever lovin' minds! But if you see me on an airplane, it's because they're transporting my corpse.

I am a private pilot, but not flying since hurricane Katrina wrecked my airplane and 'put me out of the flying hobby'. One of my neighbors is an active airline pilot. After reading some other news articles regarding the FAA using 'DEI' to select candidates for air traffic controllers, I asked him if he had noted any changes in the ability of the air traffic controllers that he interacts with as a pilot. He told me that there is a marked difference in the new hires, He said he can tell when communicating over the radio. He told me that many of these people cannot handle the pressure if the traffic in their sector becomes busy, also many of them use unprofessional language.... he said that "many of them sound like they just came from the 'Hood". I have seen a couple articles recently criticizing the airlines' hiring 'DEI' candidates, but it seems to me that a greater danger is incompetent 'DEI hire' air traffic controllers. Hiring someone with a disability may be a 'noble' goal..... but the HAVE to be able to do the job. For instance, someone who is in a wheelchair could make a good ATC controller..... IF they have the mental and verbal ability .... being in a wheelchair makes no difference. But the FAA is deliberately criminally negligent if they hire someone for these positions that do not have the talent, the ability, to 'get the picture' of the traffic, and to communicate clearly to the pilots. Air Traffic Controllers is one critical position where only those with EXCELLENT ABILITY are good enough.

Given that only a small percentage of FAA jobs are in control towers, I can go with someone with paralyzed legs in a wheelchair being a clerk-typist or holding other office-type jobs. But what job can a fully paralyzed person perform in an office setting without assistance? Does the federal workforce really need those with "severe intellectual disability"? Don't we have enough in Congress? I'm also concerned about a workforce seeded with people suffering from "severe psychiatric disability". Didn't the phrase, "Going postal", come to us directly from the Federal work environment? Democrats - The Party of Death.

Need any more proof they are trying to destroy this country?

I took the one-month class to become an air traffic controller back in 1983 which determined who would be eligible to go to the FAA air traffic control school in Oklahoma. I can't imagine anyone with any kind of mental problems being able to do this. The final exam of the class was to be able to track at least six aircraft at a time keeping the aircraft not only in the proper position in the air but guiding them to a safe landing. It was a lot more difficult than I expected. Keeping the aircraft coming from different directions, altitude, speed all heading toward the same airport. The first thing the instructor told the class was the job required one to forget about all the people on the planes. Just concentrate on the aircraft.

A job that is among the most stressful in the world, maybe of all time, and you want to put people with mental health problems in? For example, someone who would “what if crashed these two panes into each other…”? You can not make this stuff up. Almost as suicidal as opening the southern border to anyone and anthing.

Perfect choices for air traffic controllers and aircraft safety inspectors.

Is the FAA going to open an old style circus sideshow midway?

Start with Air Force One pilots. Let us know how THAT works. Also do Congress first. Nancy wants DEI.

A psychopath as air traffic controller or pilot. An epileptic in either position. What could go wrong? Why are they doing this? First one pilots Joe’s Air Force One.

Just when you think it can't get any more crazy, you have the Federal AVIATION Administration looking to hire stupid people.

Isn't this already in place? Look at all the insane people in the FJB Clown Car Administration.

Junk DEI once and for all. Who wants these people dictating the rest of us? You want one of those morons directing airplanes?

The White House has certainly led the way on this policy of hiring those with severe intellectual disabilities. Biden, Harris, and KJP being the prime examples

Wow, I might be one of the last ambulatory, white males to have been offered a job with the FAA. Even back then they were telling me it was "lucky" they could push through the job offer, due to their "diversity" push. I can tell you that even within the Engineering ranks today, there's not much independent, critical thinking being expressed by younger hires, compared to twenty years ago. The old guard has retired and the new kids are well on their way to ruining the "brand." If things are not looking good at the FAA, I can only predict a much worse situation at the other Agencies, such as NTSB. The Federal obsession with "race" and "fairness" and not "excellence" and "professionalism" is going to create a bunch of "smoking holes" across the fruited plain.

In the name of inclusion, the airlines will surely get the same sweetheart exclusion from liability that Vax Corporations got. JMJ Pray for US.

They really want to get us to stay within 10 miles of where we live. Forcing us to use an electric car with an inadequate grid, and taking away air travel, should have everyone working from home. No one would be able to travel to their capitol to protest.
