"That's retarded"

The National Air Traffic Controllers Association, NATCA, has called for an investigation of the FAA’s hiring practices following the FOX Business investigation “Trouble in the Skies” first telecast on May 20th.
A just released statement from the union which represents the nation’s air traffic controllers says, “NATCA believes these allegations must be thoroughly investigated. The FAA should carefully examine its hiring practices to ensure the highest quality candidates are selected for the training process. The flying public deserves nothing less.”
FOX Business uncovered cheating on a key exam to become an air traffic controller as well as serious questions about the validity of the FAA’s new hiring standards. The FAA continues to refuse to respond to FOX Business and comment on a recording that shows an FAA employee Shelton Snow, who is also an air traffic controller, offering specific answers to a test for job applicants.
Mr. Snow is also an officer in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees, (NBCFAE) a group that says it is interested in increasing diversity within America’s air traffic control towers. But, as reported on FOX Business, more than 3000 qualified candidates, many of them women, military veterans, Native American, and African Americans had their test scores thrown out in the advent of a murky new personality test.

I guess the real issue is that there aren’t enough radical Muslims controlling the aircraft in our skies.
Thank you for not stealing this and putting it on your foul blog.
Affirmative action for air traffic controllers.
Well heck, why not demand affirmative action for brain surgeons also.
Pssst, 0bamacare
Ouch! Good point.
Bet you that equates to acceptance of the homosexual perversion life style.
Sorry, didn’t get your meaning...
Ha! We're way beyond that mere symbolism, we've already used affirmative action for the most critically important position in the entire world:
May I introduce pResident Barack Hussein Obama.
Shhhhh...don’t give them ideas.
Exactly... good one.
"That's retarded"
I can see something like; "if your hospital just not gain 23 black,8 gay and 4 transgendered doctors by the 2nd quarter, you will not receive full reimbursement from insurers"
“The black air traffic controllers who get their jobs under the old system (who are genuinely qualified) are against the new system.”
Agree - some of those guys are ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING at what they do - they do not deserve to be STIGMATIZED by the AA hires, as blacks are in so many other fields.
Isn’t that something. Wow.
I should have known this type of thing probably did exist, but it’s very strange how these sub-par people jump ahead of others.
It should be a strict qualifications only for some things, and I would think medicine would be one.
It’s gotten to the point that when I see an accomplished Black, I put an asterisk behind their degree. I don’t like that in myself, but the fact the system is games causes you to realize you may not be looking at the sharpest pencil in the box after all.
I don’t want a surgeon that only graduated with a 3.0 from College. I want the best and brightest guy/woman I can find.
That wouldn’t surprise me.
I’ve seen a drop is quality of controllers over the [past few years. These idiots can’t keep 4 planes in the pattern organized. Some give directions in direct violation of safety and regulations. Others get frustrated and confused. Some make up rules and get belligerent about it.
