This is why the ATC positions nationwide are understaffed... The FAA Is Being Sued For Throwing Out Air Traffic Controller Applications Based On Applicants' Race Lawsuit uncovered FAA discrimination in hiring, rejecting over 1,000 qualified air traffic controller applicants based on race. Obama-era FAA implemented biographical test favoring diversity over skills, ignored highly qualified candidates from CTI program. Minority candidates given unfair advantage through "buzz words" and irrelevant questions, while qualified CTI graduates were passed over.
Chaos with the guy name Trump. I've stated multiple times that it was coming. He's given a specific script to talk about the victims, talk about America is mourning, and to then hand it over to someone from the team investigating the crash. Instead, as usual, Trump makes a few quick statements about the victims and then quickly gets into the the blame game when the black box had not been recovered at the time Trump made those dumbass comments. Trump started talking about a memo on the FAA site from 2013 (he doesn't mention its from 2013) about hiring disability, autistic, one-arm people et cetera in his effort to discredit Air Controllers when the memo is about any one (e.g. janitor, secretary, et cetera)...ANY job opening that someone qualifies. Trump wanted America to think the memo was about Air Traffic Controllers being hired. Trump stated the following... "The FAA's website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism." Mr. Trump added that people in those categories would be "qualified" for controller positions..." The president continued, "Brilliant people have to be in those positions." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-dei-diversity-policies-plane-crash/ The same memo that was on the FAA hiring site during Obama, Trump, and Biden administration. The guy is a complete idiot...he actually stated on that memo someone with "complete paralysis" can be hired as an Air Traffic Controller. Just let the investigators do their job to determine if the fault was the Army Helicopter pilots, American Airlines pilot, or fault by the Air Traffic Controllers. An investigation that will take years like any other Airline crash unless it's quickly identified as mechanical failure. The latter typically takes several months. Now wait until the next Tornado, Hurricane, Freeway car pileup, Earthquake, High School shooting, Police shooting of civilian, New War in the Middle East, Terrorist attack resulting in lost American lives... Blame it all on DEI and then pretend its the fault of Obama, Biden, FED, or maybe even a woman name Hillary. #chaos P.S. I do not keep up with the DEI stuff. I saw it being thrown around on social media and here at the forum. Didn't know what it was and I thought it had something to do with Walmart and Transgenders until I looked it up a few weeks ago. Wake up everyone. We recently came out of a Pandemic. There are shortages everywhere in America: FAA, TSA, Healthcare, Truck Drivers, Law Enforcement, Military, Babysitters, University Professors...even gangs are looking for new members. wrbtrader
Perhaps the military is stressed trying to cope with their new deportation mandate. Certainly if Trump is going to create false narratives we can dream up some in addition to the genuine chaos and destruction he is creating right now.
A white army pilot fucked up and killed over 60 people on a plane... the DoD should arrest the white guy in charge of the training mission and throw him in jail for murder
You're suggesting to arrest the people who trained the "dead White pilots" from the Army helicopter, arrest those who trained the "dead White pilots" from the American Airlines plane, arrest those who trained the "White Air Traffic Controllers", arrest those who wanted more planes in the already crowded skies over the Potomac river, arrest those who trained the majority White skaters killed on the airplane ??? One of the pilots was a female. Is that a DEI problem ? Regardless, common sense should tell us when the white Army pilot stated he has "visual" on the plane...he was talking about the plane in front of him and not talking about another plane to his right already flying pass him... The white Army pilot fucked up or he did it by the book...the Army (DOD) fucked up and we will not know for sure for about a year. Yet, it could still be a DEI problem if the white Army pilot has 25% Native American blood or maybe 35% Pakistan blood in him...right ??? Then again...what if the Air Traffic Controller was a paraplegic and blind (not able to see the planes on his radar screen) and did not speak English...would that be a DEI problem ??? P.S. Military training exercises should not be using civilian air space (an already crowded air space) for training even if the training involves evacuation of civilian political leaders. Let the Blame Game begin for the next almost 4 years. wrbtrader
