Trouble in the Skies
FOX Business' "Trouble in the Skies," a six month investigation of the FAA’s new hiring practices, uncovered changes that may put the nation’s flying public at risk as well as allegations that the newest air traffic control recruits had access to answers on a key test that helped them gain jobs with the FAA....FAA is totally corrupt on hiring new controller trainees and is putting "diversity" over "quality".

The undeniable truth is that the organization tasked with safety made the deliberate decision to go with PC and diversity at the cost of safety. This program has been effect since 2014. These "Off the street hires" are in the system and some controlling aircraft, albeit, not very well or safely. From the windshield view seats you can tell when there is a pro on the other end of the line as well as when there is a seat occupier that hasn't got a clue. Unfortunately, it is the later that are becoming more prevalent. It seams that the safeguards designed to weed out poor performing controllers have also been "revised" or done away with completely to protect the PC hires. The good dedicated controllers of all genders, races, and creeds that came up through the old system have got to be disheartened to see these changes also. As many have posted, its only a matter of time before the unintended but foreseeable consequences of these actions lead to tragedy.
Be ready to listen to Live ATC net audio similar to "UA 729, do you want fries with that?"
One day the NTSB will issue a report on this issue...but sadly only after a major accident occurs as a result.
prolly
Sounds a whole lot like "affirmative action" from the sixties. That put a whole lot of people in jobs they couldn't do properly strictly because of skin color or gender OR both. Lol
Ain't that what diversity is Jimbo?
That and any other "under represented minority" in the eyes of the left. Religion can be added and now immigration status. Automatically excluded are white males for all affirmative actions to correct real or perceived injustice.
That exclusion didn't sit real well with me when I was looking for a job after returning from Vietnam. That sealed the deal for me on lefties. Never looked back.
