I’m livid that they are not releasing her name.
God is removing His ‘hedge of protection’ around America. Such things are just the beginning...
There are reportedly thousands of Caucasians who were rejected because of the FAA nitwits’ racist decisions. Pox upon them.
Facepalm…. How many highly qualified people were never hired (public and private sector) because of reverse racism? Lower standards don’t help anyone. Higher standards drive people to do better.
Another thread this morning discusses the Blackhawk’s ability to be controlled autonomously from 300 miles away, with commands that are independent of the onboard crew. The military could have been “testing” the autonomy function when something went wrong, perhaps the Blackhawk glommed onto the commercial jetliner and the pilots on board were (apparently by design) unable to disengage or countermand the function. Or someone who was unauthorized obtained control of the autonomous function.
No surprise - this has been the norm for at least 40 YEARS.
Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster — 1/2 hour Blaze documentary with Stu from a few months ago about this. — https://youtu.be/GiclZKcCr8g
This Brigida guy is in it and retakes the additional social justice test that he took ten years ago that made him get removed from consideration. He answers like the first time and fails again. The last question asks how many months you’ve been unemployed leading up to this exam. His answer is 0 so he gets 0 points on the question and the correct answer to get points, is 1-2 months.
They also cover how behind the times the tech is for ATC/FAA. Still using floppy discs. Can’t get parts for existing equipment and not allowed to get parts made due to patents. Manufacturers that no longer exist. All the while, congress fails to pass a law/funding to upgrade.
They also cover the recent near misses at every airport they go to while traveling for the documentary.
Far too long.
The result of the left printing race cards.
I didn’t get hired as an ATC in the early 80s because I showed up to take the test on a Saturday and the doors to the building were all locked. After knocking several times, I checked my notice and it turned out that the test was administered the previous Saturday. Oops.
I could have even passed if I had Elaine Benes to take the test for me surreptitiously.

The next of kin have refused permission to release.
I remember seeing federal job announcements for a position that required 24 semester hours of college mathematics including calculus that was restricted to those with mental disabilities.
This has nothing to do with race, and it’s probably not true — but in the movie “Snowden”, job candidates for (I believe) the NSA face a tough exam about setting up, protecting, backing up, and taking down a computer network. If you can’t finish in 8 hours, you’re out. Snowden finishes in 38 minutes.
So now he has time on his hands since everyone else is still working on the 8 hr exam. Snowden asks the exam proctor “What should I do now?” — and the proctor says “Whatever you want.”
And that is pointedly a double statement — the day is his to spend as he wishes, and also the jobs that will be made available to him will be limitless and he can choose whatever he wants.
Because once upon a time, merit was rewarded.
I'm speculating that this is political...not personal...and that maybe she bumped someone.
Lotsa people know who she is. It'll get out. I mean like duh....there are 3 bodies waiting to be identified.
This has been going on in our government forever. I left the Navy in 70’ and started classes at UT Nashville so I applied for a job in the Federal building delivering mail. I aced the test, had a 5 point veteran’s preference and they gave the job to a Hispanic from California who could barely speak English. I can’t figure out their reasoning.
Bttt

” Higher standards drive people to do better.”
While true, what do those higher standards do to people who are either unable or unwilling to achieve greater things?
The FAA was doing DEI in 1991. I took the test and scored a 97.5%. Not hired. Blacks and Hispanics with much lower test scores were hired.
