If the pilot was named Mohammed or Manuel or a black guy, Trump would absolutely blame him.

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.

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.

If they’re not qualified, who cares if they’re white.

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.

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!!!!!

Please explain in detail what exactly you think is the problem? If there is a shortage of ATC then why wouldn’t you analyze your internal policies to see if you can expand the hiring pool?

The problem is that whether or not you're dwarf, a quadriplegic, your race, or if you have a learning disability takes precedent over qualifications and aptitude. None of those things should have any weight in the hiring process. Period. Yet Biden and Obama ramrod it through and force this junk. That's why everyone hates the Democrats.

Good grief. I want to be alive after flying. I don't give a rat's ass whether there are enough ATCs with learning disabilities who are represented in the tower or what the average height is for your crew. Utter insanity.

My younger cousin who is a black male was in the ATC program a few years ago. I'm not sure what happened, but he was told he could not continue the process. So many people think DEI means less qualified, but that's not true. if the goal was only to get more minorities he would have been passed through the program. When he was found to be unqualified, he could not continue. The only thing DEI did was give him the chance to try. He didn't immediately get the job because he was black.

Trump wants people to believe that a DEI hire equals unqualified when what it does is give those who traditionally wouldn't be considered the opportunity to be considered.
