, the FAA has decided to accept less qualified applicants, apparently to satisfy concerns that the agency needs a more diverse workforce.

WTF?!

Affirmative action costs lives. Democrats couldn’t care less.

Because the thing that really matters, in a position that is entirely confined to a voice on a radio, is the color of their skin, not any actual ability to do the job.

And the reason they’re not outright saying they made the change to enhance “diversity” is because when the inevitable mistake occurs, there won’t be anyone on record saying that they valued skin color higher than actual ability, so the policy won’t bite any of the “higher-ups” who created and promulgated the policy, and will instead bite the hiring agents and the managers who selected the candidates for hiring poor controllers (as if the requirement constraints didn’t all but dictate that they hire less qualified candidates).

I’m glad I do not fly within the US any longer.

Isn’t English the universal language of air traffic control? I guess they’ll be changing that to ebonics soon.

**No one that the CALL7 Investigators spoke with about the hiring changes knew why the FAA set aside those who were proven to be successful in favor of taking a chance on hires off the street.**

Wouldn't be skin pigmentation, would it?

When ideology trumps facts, the downstream consequences in this case will be deadly.

Thanks libs! You own this disaster-in-the-making too!

Good. Put all the diversity queens on the planes for the dry run of the new work force.

Let them stand trial when the first mid-air takes place.

My flying days are over. I’ve been around the world enough times already.

Good luck to the rest of you.

Put your money where your mouth is Obama. Hire affirmative action pilots for AF1 and the air traffic controllers.

Great...The ATC will be speaking Eubonics while LaTisha will be trying to talk a 747 down while watching Daytime TV.
