DENVER - Thousands of potential FAA air traffic control trainees, with College Initiative Training (CTI) degrees or previous military experience, have been told by the federal agency they are no longer eligible for job interviews. Instead, the FAA has decided to accept less qualified applicants, apparently to satisfy concerns that the agency needs a more diverse workforce.

I propose they all be dedicated to handling Air Force One.
PC is killing America.
The clearly need more moose-limbs in the tower.
It’s time to level the playing field so more airplanes can crash into one another!
Remember that diversity when your pilot is doing an approach to NYC in bad wx.
When your loved one’s plane goes down, you’ll know why - political correctness.
This administration is willing to let us die for the god of political correctness.
Its happening everywhere in FEDGOV, Obama controlled agencies doubling in size.
Massive hiring of minorities, whitey need not apply.
Nobody will touch the story in the MSM.
We quit flying when the government- groping started. Now here’s yet another reason to keep both feet firmly planted on terra firma. Ha! (How will they mess things up further after this?)
Stop falling for the talking points This is much more than being PC.
It looks as though the Syrian “refugees” will be getting all the ATC jobs for a while. I sure hope I’m on the “No Fly List” in case I ever lose my mind and try to board a plane ever again.
The article is over a year old.
Undoubtedly. Watch for deliberate aluminum shower type incidents. This concept is not new, however. I saw the same thing back in the 70s, where minorities were hired over others, just not muzzies. To the credit of the FAA, however, these people were hired, but if they couldn't hack the program, were fired, as were all who couldn't hack it. Now? Maybe even incompetent muzzies will be retained.
While the pilots were training Iranians to fly, I had to train an Iranian controller. It was so bad, I could not trust a single word that came out of his mouth. He was a hazard to air navigation, as were all of them.
.... I suppose they are giving hiring preference to Syrian Refugees which are automatically qualified because they are already Muslim .... which of course is very important when working for the FAA or the Obama Administration.
“”the FAA has decided to accept less qualified applicants, apparently to satisfy concerns that the agency needs a more diverse workforce.””
In air traffic control? You have to be kidding!! Going to pull the work force from those employees at call centers, right? That ought to make for interesting flying...
Hint - stay on the ground!!
Literally.
But then, that's their plan; isn't it?
May as well hang a sign around every single "progressive liberal" that reads...
I AM STUPID.
.
That seems to be their aim, they just were not clear on the wording.
