It is absolutely despicable that liberals are pretending that Obama never lowered the standards for air-traffic controllers.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity Takes Flight

Diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond. Our inclusive culture is defined by our values and we continuously seek employees from all backgrounds with distinctive ideas, perspectives, insights and talents. As our NextGen technology and systems continue to evolve to meet the aviation challenges of tomorrow, so must our workforce.

Because diversity is so critical, FAA actively supports and engages in a variety of associations, programs, coalitions and initiatives to support and accommodate employees from diverse communities and backgrounds. Our people are our strength, and we take great care in investing in and valuing them as such.

The mission of the FAA involves securing the skies of a diverse nation. It only makes sense that the workforce responsible for that mission reflects the nation that it serves.

People with Disabilities

Individuals with targeted or "severe" disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the Federal workforce. The People with Disabilities Program (PWD) ensures that people with disabilities have equal Federal employment opportunities. The FAA actively recruits, hires, promotes, retains, develops and advances people with disabilities.

The FAA meets the goals of the PWD Program through a variety of practices:

Targeted Disabilities

Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring. They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.

On-the-Spot Hiring

A non-competitive hiring method for filling vacancies with Veterans and/or individuals with disabilities. Managers can choose to fill an open position through the On-the-Spot hiring process given they provide the required documentation for doing so.

Reasonable Accommodation

Ensures that employees with disabilities have access to accommodations that suit their needs. This can include modifications made to existing facilities or special equipment.

This was implemented in 2014 and made illegal in 2016. For some reason, the class action suit has already taken 10 years.

Trump should have fired the FAA Director already in 2017 though.

Ok, gotcha..
I was searching all over the screencap that I had put up, lol..

(Phew, thought I was going mad!)

But, it did begin in 2013 though.

I saw the 2017 date when I checked the link, but I turned my Brave protection off, and it loaded back to 2013.. 🤔

That is weird. 2013 was the original, right? The others look like updates.

Still on Obama’s and Biden’s hands. I do not think President Trump even saw this info. “They” were careful not to show him what he needed to see the first time around. Traitorous.

What many forget, or don’t know, is how Obama became the master of the scorched earth political policy as he left his 2d term. He makes Brandon look like an amateur that regard.

Even back then, Pres. Trump had A LOT on his plate, and no one supporting (very few, anyway) him in his own admin.

About the date.. you can actually choose what year by clicking on what looks like a tiny bar graph next to the date, at the top, which is why I let the protection down. It wouldn’t budge/move with it on. It immediately popped back to 2013.

Well Obama didn’t believe in exceptionalism either and this was his passive way of proving it.

Perhaps you have forgotten.

Trump was so PC at the time as to have named a representative of the CCP (and the handler of our Senate Majority Leader) as his Sec. of Transportation.

There might be room for dwarf janitors to can access and clean areas with low clearance. There is demand for one-armed paper hangars, too.

When pursuit of “diversity” equals becoming willfully blind, no one truly benefits.

I suspect that we’ll see another 4 years of these tantrums from the left (at least).

Ya know, ‘mental disorder’ & all.
