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

But Trump had his full first term to raise them again, didn’t he?

Then republicans better speak up quickly, loud and clear to educate and remind the public what it is that Obama set into motion, then accepted policy. I had forgotten about it because Obama made so many moves to ruin the concept of America, and he was given 8 consecutive years to get it done with very little opposition. Those were the days we had Boo Hoo Boehner acting as our republicans speaker.

Our mail man told me that he really wanted to be an Air Traffic Controller. He did very well on the test, but after his interview they told him that he was not getting a place on the list because even though he had applied before he reached their cut off age of 31... he was getting close. I am sure that it couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he was a white guy.

He ought to try filling a lawsuit for race discrimination.
If he’s going to do it, get started in the first two years of this administration. Midterms can errode the influence of a particular president, depending on the outcome.

Why put people with types of “disabilities” in those highly skilled, stressful of positions when the job is hard enough for those without restrictions? No wonder Trump was ticked off.

It is inexcusable.

I am curious about what you’re presented letter is saying, but the image would need to be magnified at least 10 times before Mr. Bi-focals (me) could ever read it.
I could increase the font size, I know . I would just need to take the time to do it.

I still personally think, besides Identity Politics, it was to assist the take down of the USA from the inside.

That would do it. Under the guise of DEI no one could oppose it. Devious.

It is doubtful he knew of the issue. Remember they went after him immediately with all sorts of crap and he had traitorous advisors. Now? He has been studying for for years. He killed DEI right away.

Perhaps you should have run for President. I don’t think that President Trump ever gained control of the federal bureaucracy in his first term thanks to Obama, the FBI, the CIA and the despicable GOPe traitors.

It is a page from the FAA website telling what types of disabled people to hire. Here is the main quote: “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.” Dated February 20, 2013

This we know. Lame brain Obama scrapped 1000 qualified FAA candidates.
<><>stoopnagel Obama’s justification?
<><>the pool of applicants was not “diverse enough,”
<><>so the color-coded moron purged them from consideration.
<><>no more hiring candidates with the “most competency” by Dei-blinded Obama,
<><>key FAA jobs were sanctified by St Obama for hiring based solely on their race.

Here is the link (to that webpage) :https://web.archive.org/web/20130226035813/http://www.faa.gov/jobs/diversity_inclusion/

It is from the wayback machine of the FAA website about "Diversity and Inclusion".

The date of that webpage is, 26FEB2013 (February 26, 2013) (Obama's 2nd term).



Some quotes directly from that website page:

"Diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond."

"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."

[Under the "People with Disabilities" TAB]

"Individuals with targeted or "severe" disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the Federal workforce."

"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."

In its archives, the FAA touted:
<><>”On-the-spot special appointment authority”
<><>to hire individuals via a “non-competitive hiring method,”
<><>which specified hiring air traffic controllers “with severe physical disabilities,”
<><>”and those with psychiatric disabilities, and intellectual disabilities.”

The FAA initiative was last updated by Obama accomplice, Joe Biden, according to Fox News.

‘We’ve engineered the biographical questionnaire in a way that we think will promote diversity.’” The initial hurdle for all applicants was based solely on a new, online biographical questionnaire that gave test takers instant results.

“It didn’t ask me anything about my college experience, my grades, my scores, (and) my ability for the actual job. It asked me what sports I played in high school. What was my least favorite subject in high school. Nothing related to aviation,” remembered Meryhew.
