In order to meet its targets for Diversity Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, (DEIA), the Federal Aviation Administration is recruiting for people with severe mental disabilities, psychiatric problems and physical disabilities.

The recruiting campaign comes at an awkward time, as companies like Spirit AeroSystems, which built the malfunctioning fuselage for Boeing 737 MAX 9s, have crowed to their shareholders about hitting their DEI targets for hiring, and firing white men in order to met their diversity quotas.

The FAA’s targeted disabilities for hiring are, in the agency’s own words:

Hearing (total deafness in both ears) Vision (Blind) Missing Extremities Partial Paralysis Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy Severe intellectual disability Psychiatric disability Dwarfism

Blind obedience to a goal rather than the safety of the people affected. Even a modicum of common sense would have derailed this behavior.

Given the issues in San Francisco, I thought the FAA had hit its quotas.

Does anyone actually believe that the Federal guberment is understaffed with mentally defective people?

Years ago, some machine maintenance software I had written for a government agency was being reviewed for section 508 compliance. The reviewer complained that my menus were not speech-activated. I said that no blind person would ever use the system. She said “if your menus were speech-enabled, then a blind person could use the system.” I then showed her the part that said “when resetting the circuit board XYZ in the lower cabinet, take care not to come in contact with the high voltage line.” I asked her if she thought a blind person could do that. She couldn’t think of anything to say.

“More proof that they are trying to kill us?”

Next requirement will be a mandatory clot shot just prior to boarding the plane.

Too bad Jeffrey Dahmer died. He’s exactly what they are looking for. Maybe they should put employment workshops in Skid Rows all over the country.
