Just tell them he identifies as African-American and he'll get in...........
I realize this is old news and has been ongoing for some time now, but somehow I missed the story. This is utter nonsense!
My first exclusion criterion would be Muslim.

This is a big scandal at the FAA and their have been stories posted here. Fox business had an expose’on this story- whitecontrollercareersdon’tmatter!
The LAST thing we need is Affirmative Action in the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers!
I once attended a hiring session in Atlanta for Management Trainees at Norfolk Southern. It actually was a detriment that I had 15 years of railroad experience, half of which was in management.
Similarly, I have had friends looking for positions with 25 years experience running locomotives, that were turned away and left to continue collecting railroad retirement, while NJ Transit hired completely inexperienced people off the street.
They simply want to fill a position, and hiring experienced people is a problem because with experience comes a culture that often conflicts with the railroad management's notion that perfect brainwashed unthinking automaton employees can be had by selecting those that are inexperienced.
Wanna know why that Amtrak Train was doing 106 through a 50MPH curve? There you have it.
I also saw the "Military" push when I was working for GE on the BNSF account. While I was there working in the field, on my team the shop manager hired 2 guys with ZERO railroad experience... they did well, because they learned how to "gundeck" assignments... and they would track metrics on things like quality audits, and the Technical Directors that were actually doing the quality audits according to the workscopes were penalized because the military guys were merely sitting in the office filling out online forms showing they did the audits than actually going out and crawling under the locomotive and DOING the inspections. When the shop manager was going to punish me, who every night had to "save the railroad" and make up all the lost time while dayshift was goofing off, and then go and reward the dayshift TDs I basically told the manager to go F himself. Last I heard that manager was fired.
Haven't flown commercial since 2003 and this ensures I probably won't ever again.
Current ATC here...there may be a class action lawsuit still in the works by the passed over CTI grads, and our union (NATCA) is not happy with this either...

Negroes will get the jobs whites will not get the jobs. It will be interesting to see the accident rates once this EEOP program has been fully implemented.
