I mean Trump IS right when he showed all of the diversity insanity the FAA uses to hire candidates. Be 10000% honest, do you give a single flying F about whether a candidate is a quadriplegic, whether there aren't enough dwarves who are ATCs and the race of people manning the traffic of the skies while you are a passenger? Hell no. All you care about is landing safely and alive. Yet that's exactly what the FAA was forced to consider under Biden and Obama.... whether heightism and not enough mentally handicapped individuals are represented as ATCs. Utter and complete lunacy.

This is exactly why Trump won and why Democrats got smoked.

Trump won because he makes up wild stories to get people riled, a bunch of the people just believe his wild stories without bothering to verify them, and Dems get smoked.

"Haitians are eating cats and dogs" and now "Biden hired blind air traffic controllers because of DEI" and tomorrow some other nonsense du jour.

Except he didn't make up the DEI junk. He literally showed the document the FAA has to use because of Biden and Obama.

Oh? Where is that document?

These are the “biographical questions” that had to be answered during the Obama administration to be hired. Select people were given the key so they were eligible for hire. People with perfect scores otherwise were not hired in favor of people who “passed” this test. This is part of the lawsuit against the FAA.

One example is people who said that Science was their worst subject in school got maximum points for that question. I wish I was kidding.

Source for your ridiculousness OP?

I watched him say it during the news conference. It’s being reported by all of the news outlets. Keep up please.

Under Obama and Biden all air traffic control recruits still had to pass the air traffic selection and training test (AT-SAT) for acceptance to the federal Air Traffic Controller Academy in Oklahoma City. The minority percentage went from 10% to 13%. Thankfully this is the first accident since 2001. It's really unfortunate that people are blaming this on diversity hiring. Where is the proof? It's incredibly reckless to make that claim without supporting data.

By all indications it was the helicopter pilot that screwed up. Wasn't at the proper altitude and said he had a visual but was apparently tracking the wrong plane.

Yet crazy man Trump wants to blame DEI. He's an idiot.

He is a racist.

WTAF are talking about? Reagan was out of office for 3 years and back digging post holes on his ranch in 1991.

You have zero credibility.

The PP meant 1981, if you know any history at all.

How is this the controller's fault? It's clearly the fault of the army. Why are they having "training" flights right in a major flight zone? Why didn't they see the plane right in front of them?

Whatever the reason, it almost certainly leads straight back to some stupid thing someone in the new admin did, and they are deflecting by suggesting the controller did something wrong because they only got the job as a minority. But....wasn't the controller white??

The controller was doing the work of two.
Air traffic control is understaffed.

It was a year ago that Washington Times had an editorial about FAA not hiring air traffic controllers for being white.

Guess they shouldn’t have rejected 3,00 qualified white applicants on the basis of race and quotas.

Can you MAGAs please stop saying stuff like this without citing a reputable source.

It happened during the Obama years. This is a long read but it’s enlightening. And disturbing.

Maybe they weren't qualified.

They weren’t qualified. They were white.

Wrong time to place blame on past presidents. Though, if we're going to go there, I heard Presidents Obama and Biden blamed for yesterday's disaster. I didn't hear mention of the the president that came after Obama and before Biden. How come he wasn't thrown under the rug too? If it was so broken, surely #45 would have fixed it.

Being white is what made them unqualified.

Boy we are in trouble lol.....I don't think my 3.98 GPA in engineering physics from Berkeley is going to be enough as an African American in this era with these guys.

He managed to blame amputees, dwarfs, etc? I guess if you are a true patriot who served your country and lost your leg you aren't intellectually sharp enough to serve under these guys.

Listen we are free to vote for anyone. But I am sure some of his voters have to be stunned if they actually listen to his press conferences.

The document said that the FAA was actively looking to hire people with disabilities. It did NOT say that they were being hired as Air Traffic Controllers!!!!!

They are winning because they will continue to throw garbage at the American people. Exhausting all

If they weren't stunned already, what makes you think they will be this time. You don't need a 3.98 to answer that question.

Can't blame H-1B Indians for this one fortunately. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the racists still find a way like they did with China showing up the US with DeepSeek.

You idiots are stooping to the level of Trump with all this skin color ridiculousness. Grow up.

If there is something that can be fairly questioned at this point, it's why training/maintenance flights involving helicopters flying at 300 feet are happening that close to major airports in a routine manner. Too much air traffic with too many flight path variables for this not to have been an accident waiting to happen.
