In St. Louis, air traffic controllers are being hired by racial quota, regardless of education, experience, or any real passion about the job. Very discouraging. TSA and ATC jobs should go to vets first.
I remember racial quotas for FAA ATC positions back in the 70s, so it's not new. I am not sure, but maybe the difference is, now they don't even try to hide it.
I don't know why people want to do that job. It's really crappy. I did it twenty years, and there is NO glory in it whatsoever.
I feel confidant knowing Neutron and Shitavious will do a fine job in the control tower when they’re awake.
If the test is so hard that vets and college grads with experience aren’t passing it then how are the less qualified diversity hires?
Actually they should go to the best qualified regardless of ethnicity.
