The FAA's Racial Politics Endangered Public Safety
MSLF ^ | 2022 | Mountain State Legal Foundation

Posted on 01/30/2025 7:39:37 AM PST by hardspunned

The Obama administration dropped a skill-based system for selecting and hiring air traffic controllers (ATCs), and replaced it with a new system designed to favor applicants on the basis of their race. It makes no sense. Worse yet, it is illegal and unconstitutional. The FAA purged its system of thousands of previously-qualified, ready-to-hire applicants simply because they did not fit the right biographical profile. The government endangered public safety and owes restitution for this grave injustice.

This might have nothing to do with what happened last night but be aware that DEI has made flying more dangerous.

Did you know that 3,000 top-performing applicants for air traffic controllers were REJECTED by FAA for being white?

Got to hand it to the pinkos.

They knee-jerked a Trump connection last night.

These miscreants didn’t get their venomous slander out until the day after.

They were rejected because they could not wear the correct uniform. One of DEI's selection criteria is taken from George Lincoln Rockwell:

"Your skin color is your uniform."

“It makes no sense.”
Here we go again. God almighty, don’t you get it?! What will it take?

It makes perfect sense if you are a totalitarian with Nazi-like methods and tools. They are NOT Crazy, Nuts, Insane, or Stupid. If you think this, then you are the uninformed stupid one.

They might as well be NAZIS...that’s why they call us Fascists and Nazis.

They are smart, sometimes brilliant, almost all of what they do is well planned, carried out, and if they had not blown it with chossing Harris for ‘24, we’d have another 4 years of them in the White House.

Is Gates illogical? Is Zukerberg stupid? Is Obama insane?...how ‘bout Soros?

They are evil!!! Just like Benito and Adolf...EVIL. And that is why they must be defeated. It’s not a question of re-educating them, it’s a question of defeating them.

Thank you! And excuse my rant but I am so sick and tired of people who vote like us saying “it makes no sense...they’re nuts, stupid crazy, insane.

Trump is having a press conference this morning regarding this trajedy.Sadly given the DEI nonsense that has affected the military and the hiring of air traffic control, it is a logical, hard, necessary question to know the identities and and qualifications of the pilots and the controlers on duty.It is absolutely incredible that a helicopter could wander into the landing flight path of such a well equipped airport, supposedly be in contact with the tower and was not told to immedeatly veer off .People will demand answers but doubt the MSM will make much of an inquiry. Also have doubts that the NTSB which will investigate, itself is not politically comprimised with leftist nonsense.

Let the lawsuits begin:

From Revolver:

“Andrew Brigida was one such student who spent forty thousand dollars and four years on his degree, achieved the highest possible score on the FAA’s aptitude test, and was still filtered out for being White. He is now leading a class-action lawsuit against the FAA.

Attorneys for Mountain States Legal Foundation filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C., today seeking to advance class action status for more than 2,500 aspiring air traffic controllers who were harmed by the FAA’s racially discriminatory hiring policies.­­”

I will second your post.

I have said for years that when people say “the system makes no sense and/or the world has gone insane” - they are dead wrong.

The system makes perfect sense if you understand the reasoning behind things like DEI, CRT - which the government, Hollywood, the American education system K-12 pushes into us Americans starting at birth.

“Andrew Brigida spent forty thousand dollars and four years on his degree, achieved the highest possible score on the FAA’s aptitude test, and was still filtered out for being White.”

I think Trump well understand this and is putting a stop to it. About time.

Here’s Brad Mims, obviously incompetent DEI Deputy Administrator for the FAA, recruiting other potential DEI disasters to get on the gravy train. He wants to specifically to get recruits from failing historically black colleges and tribal colleges.

Very well stated.

We look truly foolish when we go down the “they’re stupid, insane, crazy, nuts etc., etc. lane. We are assuming that they share our objectives and values. but THEY DON’T!

They are not infavor of free speech. We are so passive that we have accepted their vocabularly, e.g., they are “liberals” and we are “conservatives”. Nonsense! There is nothing liberal about them or their goals. Oh...and we are right wing (like Hitler and Mussolini) and they are left wing (but not like Stalin).

And no one ever called Hitler stupid. He some ways he was evilly brilliant. If he was stupid the war would have lasted 9 months. His choice of Goebbels revolutionized dictatorships. The weapons the Nazis developed, the generals in charge of their forces...all signs of intelligence. Yes, I get it...the invasion of Russia was a huge mistake...they made a lot of mistakes...blinded by their totalitarian instincts.

But their killing of 6,000,000 Jews was not “stupid”. Their killing of 20,000,000 was not crazy.

It was all EVIL...and until we get it...we will be toast.

After 911 I had to work with the FAA at the 1st meeting the representative started out with: I'm from the FAA where we aren't happy until you aren't happy.

Of course the military way of doing things is to always start out with a joke.

The last 3 flights I’ve had in just a couple of weeks all had younger women captains.

Not saying they’re not qualified....but stats.

The Obama administration spent 8 years pushing DEI on all federal departments. He also staffed them with people who were not loyal to our country but they were loyal to the dimrat party.

It will take a long time to root out all the garbage that obama/biden planted.
