If you believe the FAA employed people with intellectual disabilities to actually work as air traffic controllers, then:

1. Why has there been no civil airline accidents since 2008? duh! 

2. Do you seriously believe the FAA would actually employ in control towers people with intellectual disabilities?

Dumb and dumber.

 

Go ask Obama

Not surprised, after all look at who was in charge (Biden) AND deemed as well to suffer mental deficiencies/ disabilities which was well known of Biden since he assumed office. LOL....you need to drop and break away from your brain washing by the lying media mob lead by MSNBC and the rest. Get some truth, fact based reality into your spectrum or live like a caveman in a cave.

Look, try and get it into your head, they may try to recruit from a wider base but no-one is going to pass the stringent tests to be an air traffic controller unless they can actually do the job.

Now if they said, 'dwarfs, one armed lesbians, blind blacks, apply now for jobs as air traffic controllers, and it doesn't matter that you can't do the job, will accept you anyhow,' then sure, everyone has the right to kick up a fuss.

Show me some evidence they recruited and employed people not up to the job, and if they did, why didn't Trump dismiss them from 2016-2020? And why were there no accidents?

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.

“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”

The initiative is part of the FAA’s “Diversity and Inclusion” hiring plan, which says “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.” The FAA’s website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022.

 

Its all in the FAA hiring plan, go read it. I'm not going to play your game based on your ignorance to factual reporting.

Tell me how many applicants suffering from the disabilities you mention have been actually hired to be air traffic controllers?

And why haven't there been countless accidents as blind and deaf air traffic controllers miss planes? lol

Suuure. A tweet made with truncated bits of text, without source, and posted by the famous Debra M... is a reliable evidence!

I conclude from going through this thread that Trump was right, again, much to the annoyance of the haters who never give him credit for anything.

So, Trump blamed the crash on DEI hiring.  From Fox News, here is the helicopter pilot: (Andrew Eaves from Mississippi)

 

And here is the airplane pilot: (Sam Lilley from Georgia)

 

 

 

Are these two are DEI hires?

 

You are missing one pilot. Read between the lines.

Strange conclusion since none of the facts show or even indicate he's right.

How about this, any inaccuracies?

The usual baseless MAGA claim!🙂

The Covid virus cannot originate from the viruses used for the U.S. research program.

 

But if you have DNA evidence about it, feel free to show it!

Is Fauci your hero, going to defend him regardless?
