Maybe when you hire based on skin color you aren’t hiring the best
Maybe people in Gov jobs feel they can’t be fired and don’t pay enough attention?
What was the helicopter doing that close to the runway?
The entire aviation industry has been infected with DEI.
I see Daily Mail and it means I have homework. After reading a Daily Mail article it means you have to go find a real news source reporting on it and then find the Daily Mail was either exaggerating, sensationalizing, just making shit up, or omitting major details which make the story a nothingburger. This is without exception.
Like without even looking I’m going to assume (if the headline is even true) that the FAA wanted to recruit disabled people for non-technical roles and support jobs. The FAA more than likely isn’t looking to recruit mentally disabled people to technical or core roles.
Didn’t ATC warn the blackhawk though a couple times and there was no response? I don’t think this story involves the fault of DEI
This was actually a major issue. The public hiring process for ATC involves a test, then you get offered training, and if you get through training which is intense with a lot of memorization of maps, etc for the region your job offer is in. Around 2006 they saw the ATC shortage coming in and stepped up hiring, around 2010 they changed their hiring process to HIGHLY prefer any minority status to the point I know someone who scored perfect on the test and never got a phone call. I later heard that they were taking minority status with scores in the 70’s over candidates with scores in the upper 90s. As one would expect, the wash rates on candidates in training shot through the roof. It was a failed initiative that was literally dangerous to the public. Thankfully, the training process seems good at rooting out those that can’t handle it, but it was still an incredible waste of funds, and put additional burden on centers getting trainees that couldn’t cut it. I don’t know what things are like these days.
Hiring based on race is wrong, regardless of which direction, either being hired or excluded. We are all equal and should show it by looking past skin color for all reasons. Preferring inferior candidates based on race is racism.
