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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Racism is fine as long as it is against the White Race.

I know the feeling. I was turned down for not being diverse. A friendly insider who was rooting for me to join their team told me on the down low. Instead, they got a nice inexperienced younger diverse person who could not do the job and had several accidents in the first year. Yeah. I found a position at another company which turned out to pay more in the long run.

“... we don’t know why we failed because we don’t get any feedback.”

You failed because you didn’t meet the racist Obama’s pigmentation test, Oscar. That’s the bottom line.

🙄 The 'biographical assessment' does NOT ask about gender, race, or disability, etc.

It's a questionnaire much like the questionnaires other employers give you. It asks about your choices, your behaviors, high school grades, and so on.

It's not a new idea. The FAA was giving 'biographical assessments' in the 1970s: https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/21231

Someone put the 2014 biographical assessment online. Go ahead and answer the questions yourselves at the link below.

Here are my results:

I FAILED the 2014 FAA Biographical Assessment with a score of 108. Do you have what it takes to become an ATC, unlike me?

https://kaisoapbox.com/projects/faa_biographical_assessment

APPLICATION STATUS FOR ANNOUNCEMENT FAA-KAI-24-TRACEWG-69420 Score: 108/179

Thank you for submitting your application for announcement FAA-KAI-24-TRACEWG-69420. Based upon your responses to the Biographical Assessment, we have determined that you are NOT eligible for this position as a part of the current vacancy announcement.

The biographical assessment measures ATCS job applicant characteristics that have been "shown empirically" to "predict success" as an air traffic controller in the FAA. These characteristics include factors such as prior general and ATC-specific work experience, education and training, work habits, academic and other achievements, and life experiences among other factors. This biographical assessment was "independently validated" by "outside experts".

Many candidates applied for this totally legitimate position and unfortunately we have fewer job openings (0) than there were candidates. We encourage you to apply to future vacancy announcements. Thank you again for your interest in the Federal Aviation Administration.

With that said, there have been other problems with the 'biographical assessment.' One is that people take the assessment online at home where they can cheat or help each other.
