FAA turned away qualified AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS based solely on race

[ColonelAngus]

Isnt this the definition of racism?

Sure seems like it to me. Using race in determining qualification is BY DEFINITION….RACIST.

Happened to me. I was denied a job because of my race.

Definitely racist!

It happened all across the .gov.

A friend of mine works for the .gov (DHS, not sure which branch), he's approaching retirement, but he applied for a job with another .gov facility two miles from his home so he could stay with the .gov till he's 67 and get the full boat of pension/SS but not have to drive 40 miles in all kinds of weather.

He was told straight-up that it was between him and a black guy and the black guy had "preference" due to his race.

WTF?.....I thought it was illegal but come to find out FJB made an EO to that effect. Equal qualifications and the job goes to the "person of color". I think Trump rescinded all of that nonsense.

Sure enough they offered the job to the black guy around the first week of January, he fiddle-farted around and finally declined it.....Then Trump froze hiring the other day!

Supposedly if they unfreeze it within the next month he will get the job, if not then he has to reapply again.

Basically, they are working out which jobs are considered "essential". The Maintenance & Grounds job he applied for has always been considered as such and is what he does at the current .gov facility he works at.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. LA spent years turning away firemen too based on race.

Gotta get that minority quota, ya know.

You do not believe any DEI occurred in the Federal Government during the Biden administration?

They were just lying all along?

I'd like to see the case file on that ... if they were qualified, then they'd know they could sue and win big bucks ... we're taking army corps sized brigades of lawyers hot on the prospect ...

No lawsuit ... didn't happen ...

Hey, if you need a black lesbian to get you out of a fire…IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT!

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

The definition of insanity.......

When good men do absolutely nothing in the face of tyranny.....but still expect a good outcome.

 

[ColonelAngus]

She is blaming the victim of a fire.

Clearly DEI gone amuck.

What if she needs to save an obese woman with diabetes in a wheelchair?

DID SHE GET HERSELF IN THE WRONG PLACE?

The title is wrong (as is Elon's faux outrage) and the "article", which is an opinion piece, contains false claims:

Contributing to the shortage, the FAA temporarily put the brakes on hiring in 2012 so it could replace race-blind hiring rules with a “Biographical Assessment” stratagem designed to hire more minorities.

No, they did not. They can't do that unless they're authorized to. But bullshit artists at publishers like WT, Fox, Gateway Pundit, etc. know that most of their readers a) don't know, and b) aren't motivated to fact-check their crap.

As for the BA, the questions have nothing to do with race. It's basically a personality test, similar to the ones that 1990s corporate America thought were so cool and so good at identifying quality employees through pop-psychology.

If you want to criticize anything, criticize that. But there's no evidence they turned away thousands of elite white grads of Embry-Riddle in favor of some C- student at Grambling.

Here's a link to the questionnaire in case anyone is curious:

Got it.

No one was hired by the FAA based on immutable traits,

FAA directed to halt diversity initiatives as Trump emphasizes merit-based hiring

The Trump administration orders FAA to end DEI hiring practices, mandates merit-based approach.

So this is baseless.

Gotcha. Good to know. This crash was caused by COMPETENCE.

Facts don't support your suspicions?

Too bad.

67 dead people because of competence.

I get it.

Plane crashes are always the result of Gross Competence.

 

[ColonelAngus]

The helicopter pilot was flying too high.

Is that correct?

The helicopter pilot was looking at the wrong plane?

I hate flying into Reagan. Short runway, lots of water.

Dulles has forever runways.

You can read the actual lawsuit if you do a little bit of digging.

Trial is set for Summer 2025.

Anyone can sue for anything. Just because someone sues doesn't mean they have a valid claim, and there's no evidence that the claims made by the plaintiffs or the Wash Times are valid at all.

Did they tell you this?

Or did you just "Feel" you got overlooked?

You mean incompetence? Maybe so, but that's what investigations are for.
