[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump mentioned DEI so that people would be talking about that instead of the Jan 20 removal of the FAA head, and his proposed fed cuts, it’s embarrassing that people think there’s anything to it beyond him wanting a scapegoat and to change the conversation. The fact that he immediately appointed a new head speaks to how he didn’t want that to be the focus. [/quote] Yep. [/quote] The narrative seemed to be that DEI has caused the ATC shortage because they were turning away qualified white men. Not that any of the pilots or ATC were a DEI hire. [/quote] If that's their narrative they are going to have to prove it -- I dont' believe it. ATC has been understaffed for years and according to Congressional testimony the issues are lack of funding and trouble getting ANYONE to do these jobs given the stress and hours involved (indicating they need to raise pay, increase benefits, and improve mental health support). There is zero evidence that there were a bunch of white men applying for these jobs and getting turned down in order to keep the positions open for "DEI hires." There is evidence that Congress was not allocating enough money for them to hire and staff sufficient numbers.[/quote]
