Trump could be making a major mistake today, as big as Obama's "beer gate" fiasco.


Despite a surge in hiring last year, air traffic control stations nationwide are still about 3,000 controllers short, according to new Federal Aviation Administration numbers.

The numbers, first reported by CNN, show the challenge of filling the gap that led to flight delays and concerns that fatigue contributed to a series of near collisions on runways last year. The shortage is a concern of airlines, controllers, and watchdogs like the inspector general who last summer concluded the agency “made limited efforts to ensure adequate controller staffing at critical air traffic control facilities.”

The FAA has about 11,500 controllers who are either fully certified or have reached the stage in training where they can work independently, known as Certified Professional Controller In Training. The staffing plans developed by the FAA and the union representing air traffic controllers calls for more than 14,600 controllers to fully staff towers and centers.
Too bad that leom musk's plan is to cut the government payroll and invest in bitcoin for Shitler!
 
Trump blaming the air traffic collision on DEI hiring.
Not smart at all.
His answer to a reporter about how he can blame this on DEI if he, by his own words, the investigation is just underway as to how this happened. - the answer - "Because I have common sense".
Well, sorry Mr. President, but it is common sense not to make pre-emptive claims about something BEFORE you know the facts. That is what Obama did in beer gate, and he had to publicly apologize for his stupidity for doing it.
What if the people in the air tower were all experienced, long term controllers?
What if the 3 airmen in the black hawk were all in the military before Biden's moronic DEI initiatives??

He could be setting himself up for a major scandal if the facts are not relevant to DEI hiring. As well as hand his adversaries a bag full of ammunition to rightfully use against him.

Not smart. At all.
I love it…Everything Trump says and does is aimed to explode leftist heads…he’s learned that NO MATTER what he says or does he won’t win with these filthy fucks, he’s finally learned there’s no uniting with the filthy fucks…LOVE IT!!

Yeah...well I am far-far from a leftist.
I am not a binary thinker. I do not belong to one borg or the other.
I think for myself, I know that is unusual for a lot of people.
This was not a good move by Trump to do this less than 24 hours after the crash without knowing what the details are.
Believe it or not, politicians on your side actually make mistakes also..
 
dimocraps are scum --

The Biden Administration stopped hiring qualified air traffic controllers because the qualified candidates they were getting were "too white."

They changed the test to be "biographical" -- code for, "We're going to ask you about any racism you've experienced in your life," wink-wink -- and refused to hire 3000 qualified "too white" candidates.

And apparently they just couldn't find enough marginally-qualified DEI candidates, either:





And also, too mentally sane and too non-developmentally-disabled. Biden pushed to recruit "people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities," because those are just the folks you want in the incredibly stressful air traffic control towers where workers are literally keeping planes from hitting each other every minute.
Here's your answer, people. No need to complicate it.

When dimocrap scum are in charge..... That's all you need to know. They find ways to fuck up -- Everything.

Don't care 'why'. Not interested.

They just do

Trump said the agency uses DEi as a hiring practice, he basically said he wouldn’t be surprised if DEi initiatives are partly to blame for the tragedy. What part of that do you disagree with?
 
prove it? Post a link that Trump used DEI.

Did Trump encourage people with disabilities to apply for jobs, sure, but did he relax standards to include them? That's your task demofk!!!!
Are you still alive?

From July 18th 2014. So Obama did it but it was up and running during trump's first term



The Trump-era FAA had the same language on its website: The FAA’s language encouraging the hiring of people with disabilities, including intellectual and psychiatric disabilities, was featured on the agency’s website throughout Trump’s first presidency and at least as far back as 2013, as the fact-check website Snopes has previously reported. You can click here for the version of the web page captured by the Internet Archive in December 2020, the last full month of Trump’s first term.

The Trump-era FAA also pushed to hire people with disabilities: The federal government passed a law in 1973 that aimed to increase federal hiring of qualified people with disabilities. Like other government agencies, the Department of Transportation, which oversees the FAA, had pushed since at least the George W. Bush administration to increase its hiring of people with certain “targeted disabilities” that create extra barriers to employment. Those include not only intellectual and psychiatric disabilities, but also deafness, blindness, paralysis and missing extremities.

The FAA under the first Trump administration also tried to increase hiring of people with targeted disabilities.

The FAA’s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period, issued under Trump, said the FAA’s Office of Aviation Safety would, in the 2020 fiscal year, “continue to promote and support the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.”

Also during Trump’s first term, in 2019, the FAA announced “a pilot program to help prepare people with disabilities for careers in air traffic operations,” saying that “a key focus for the FAA’s Office of Civil Rights is to identify specific opportunities for people with targeted disabilities, empower them and facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.” The FAA continued to promote the pilot program in the latter half of 2020, near the end of Trump’s first term.

still don't see where the effort was DEI?
 
Too bad that leom musk's plan is to cut the government payroll and invest in bitcoin for Shitler!
they're going to use military air traffic controllers
 
How do you type if you can't read?
I didn't see anything about equity adjustments. He wanted to allow more disabled people who could do the job to apply. How is that DEI?
 
Trump said the agency uses DEi as a hiring practice, he basically said he wouldn’t be surprised if DEi initiatives are partly to blame for the tragedy. What part of that do you disagree with?
He said more than that, a lot more. He went on about it for quite some time.
When asked "how do you KNOW DEI is to blame" - his answer was short and succinct - "I have common sense". And then went on to blame DEI.

To clarify - DEI is an extremely dangerous, short sided and truly insane way of recruiting and hiring. PERIOD. - I agree with the President 100% on that.
But, unfortunately there are too many people on both sides that if you disagree just 1% of the time - you are bad. 'not with the team".
 
No he didn't. All he said is that DEI hiring is not a good thing, especially in key, critical jobs like aircraft controllers.

I saw the presser.

He did NOT blame the collision on DEI. No one knows what caused it.

All we know at this point is that the Blackhawk was at the same elevation as the plane, should have seen the plane, should have changed direction, and should have been warned off sooner, but wasn't, and flew straight into the tail section of the small jet.
Ha ha...

Good fucking luck on the optics of that...

Trump to a tragedy and tried to inject politics into it... No matter what happens from now on, eyeryone knows he is going to blame this on some who was black, gay or a woman...

In truth in an accident like this there is usually multiple fail safes that fail, multiple things go wrong.

"major scandal?"
 
He has his little cupcake Karoline Leavitt to do that. But so far, that hasn’t worked out too well.
I love it when "progressives" reveal their misogyny. Good for you. Kudos
