What is next? How about diversity based surgeons.
How about diversity based nuclear engineers?.............
Surgeons can only kill one at a time..................
“Federal Aviation Administration undermined a skills-based test to help select air traffic controllers in an effort to promote workforce diversity.”
Does that explain why there have been so many close encounters involving aircraft the last couple of years?
Where are all of the blind bus drivers? I smell, feel and hear discrimination.
“Biographical questionnaire?” 1. Hey Bro, you be black?
Work force diversity, based on demographics alone, is an unattainable goal and a fool’s errand. Nothing beats merit, no matter where it is found. But to select randomly, in the hope or wish that the selected candidate will somehow rise to the occasion because the responsibility is thrust upon him or her, is betting of massive failure.
On the job is no place to winnow out the highly incompetent. Or even the marginal applicant. The best of the best is an absolute essential in a high-pressure position.
They are working for the NFL as referees..................
NO! Get with the program. The white people are "triggering" the diversity hires.
I think it comes back to Green Agenda...
Big poluting jets.
make it unsafe enough that people are unwilling to fly.
Is speaking english required? I am sure there are a lot of muzzies wanting the job. Will they hire illegals?
English is the required language of Air Traffic Controllers all over the Earth. Even Moscow and Beijing...........................
One of the things most people miss with DEI strategy is one of the plums for the deep state. The hiring of mediocre people results less production which means more hiring to offset the drop. Almost all government workers are dues paying union members. More dues mean more money for the unions/democrats. The stupid Republicans should be shrinking government instead of playing along with the dems.
People knowing statistics commented that the survey was rigged for American born blacks and rigged very incompetently. That’s why the rigging was so obvious.
Srednik highly recommends Thomas Sowell’s WHITE LIBERALS AND BLACK REDNECKS and his INSIDE AMERICAN EDUCATION for analysis of the preposterous notion that some Americans are not smart enough to succeed. He contends quotas hurt minorities. Srednik agrees wholeheartedly. It is very hard work to get qualified at something. If one’s education was inadequate in that area, then the age-old way of earning things — hard work, and more hard work is the way to achieve it. Anything worth having is worth working hard to get. Signaling to some, through a quota, that they aren’t smart enough to get the reward on their own is degrading and dehumanizing.

Thank you, alloysteel, for the most eloquent, down-to-earth, and easily understood critique of diversity hiring I've ever read.
Before I retired, I followed as an industry analyst the niche software market that serves the telecom industry. And I'm happy to report back that when I attended a company sponsored event or heard execs talk at conferences, I detected no DEI foolishness. Very few women had high level executive positions, but the few that did showed their competence. And for good reason, competition in the B2B software space is a brutal business.
For decades, Fortune Magazine used to a great publication, and I was an avid reader. But soon after it was a acquired by the Chinese interests, it became a partisan pub that satisfied the DEI fans, the climate hoaxers, and the anti-Trump / anti-common sense forces.
But somehow a in 2018 Fortune has the good sense to allow seasoned pro Shawn Tully the freedom to write a stellar piece of corporate journalism, entitled, Paper Jam! How Carl Icahn And a Billionaire Partner Blocked Xerox’s Merger with Fujifilm.
The full story is at the link, and parts of it read like a corporate thriller. Essentially Icahn's team saved Xerox from bad management decisions at the top, especially from CEO Ursula Burns, a DEI hire and her "acolyte" Jeff Jacobson.
It's a classic example of how incompetent leadership at the top of major companies can destroy tens of thousands of jobs.
FTA: concluded that minority candidates were hindered by the cognitive test.
In short they could not think straight!
Just what you do not want in a air traffic controller.
That is an airplane.
Candidate: It looks like a bird to me.
In December 2013, thousands of students who had participated in the FAA’s Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) - a program specifically designed to prepare individuals to become Air Traffic Control Specialists - were informed that their previous scores on a cognitive and skills-based test - known as the AT-SAT - would be discounted.
Instead, these students would have to pass a biographical survey before retaking the cognitive portion of the test.
BTTT
This race-based scoring is racism and anti-white.
