DEI gets people killed. So, If you need a kidney transplant right now and the only surgeon available is white and you’re black, are you going to insist you want a doctor who “looks like you.” That’s some dumb chit right there.

Liberals also feel men pretending to be women are women.

They’re nuts.

The good thing? Trump and the new folks he’s put in his cabinet will stop this insanity - and stop lots of future plane crashes... caused by incompetents in jobs they didn’t earn.

We’re finding out that the entire system is held together by the spit and duct-tape of liberalism.

The guy who filed the original lawsuit did so 12 years ago. Most of the references in the story go back 10 years.

So what are all of the rejected applicants doing for a living, if they got turned down for ATC jobs? Unfortunately, I would think that if their training is that old, it may no longer count if they did apply for ATC jobs now.

A class action lawsuit titled *Brigida v. Buttigieg* has been filed against the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by a group of white male applicants, alleging racial discrimination in the hiring process for air traffic controllers. Here’s a summary based on available information:

- **Background**: The lawsuit claims that the FAA, under the Obama administration, altered its hiring practices in 2013 by implementing a “biographical assessment” designed to increase minority representation among air traffic controllers. This change purportedly replaced a skill-based hiring system, leading to the rejection of many qualified white applicants.

- **Plaintiffs’ Claims**: The lead plaintiff, Andrew Brigida, and others allege they were denied opportunities despite passing the skill assessments and being highly qualified. The biographical questionnaire allegedly favored candidates based on personal history rather than merit, with questions unrelated to the job’s technical requirements.

- **Legal Progress**: The case has seen various developments, including class action certification in 2022 by U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, allowing nearly 1,000 claimants to join the lawsuit. The lawsuit argues that these hiring practices violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits racial discrimination in employment.

- **Current Status**: As of the latest updates, the lawsuit is still ongoing, with the FAA and the US Department of Transportation contesting the claims. The case is expected to go to court early in the year following the referenced date.

- **Public and Political Reaction**: The lawsuit has gained attention, especially in light of recent air traffic control issues, with some political figures and commentators linking the FAA’s diversity hiring policies to safety concerns. However, this connection is controversial and not conclusively supported by evidence from the lawsuit itself.

- **Sentiment on X**: There have been posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) where users express frustration and support for the lawsuit, highlighting the discrimination aspect against qualified white males.

This lawsuit raises significant questions about balancing diversity goals with merit-based hiring in critical safety roles like air traffic control. The outcome could potentially influence hiring practices across federal agencies. However, the final impact on policy or legal precedent will depend on the court’s decision.

GROK summary

But if you were a black female and only knew how to finger paint, the Obama administration would make you captain of a 747 right after the interview.

Gee, it looks like white males might be of use to this country after all.
