The FAA allegedly added a question rewarding applicants for doing poorly on test, to get more African air traffic controller applicants...
The Federal Aviation Administration is being sued in a class action lawsuit alleging it turned away nearly 1,000 air traffic controller applicants, solely based on their race.
Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who now serves as co-counsel for Mountain States Legal Foundation based in Colorado, is leading efforts for a lawsuit that could .. force companies to hire employees based on skills.
Laxalt said the lawsuit represents nearly 1,000 people who went to school to become air traffic controllers, which, for about 20 years until the end of the Obama administration, graduated 100 % of the people who went on to work in their field.
The individuals Laxalt represents passed the normal test right before the Obama administration said the class was too White and threw out the tests with the applicants.
...
FAA was at 75% staffing for air traffic controllers across the country, constantly affecting travel plans for Americans.
"When you travel and have a delay, it’s because there aren’t enough of these people.. When you see these near incidents in air traffic control, it’s because there aren’t enough people. There are only 14,000 air traffic controllers. A thousand were scrapped a decade ago, and the bottom line is they’ve never made up losing all of this pipeline."
...
Laxalt reiterated that the class that was thrown out was "too White." As a result, he said, the FAA put together a new test that created a biographical test with the intent of adding more African Americans to the air traffic applicant pool.
The change also included a question that if the applicant did poorly in math, they would get extra points on the biographical test.

And one wonders why the efficiency of the ATC’s are deteriorating? Wonder why close calls with flying aircraft are increasing?
Based on recent near misses, they didn’t discriminate enough .
“The individuals Laxalt represents passed the normal test right before the Obama administration said the class was too White and threw out the tests with the applicants.”
In 1985 I took a county personnel board test to become a police officer. That’s what I wanted to do. I placed number 2 on the list of at least several hundred people and was basically guaranteed a job. Before my academy class started dumb black people sued and said the test was discriminatory because they failed it. The test was thrown out and the academy class cancelled. The test consisted of answering questions from a booklet they gave out (memorize faces, addresses, etc.) and general intelligence. There was nothing discriminatory about it. Anybody with a basic education and the dedication to study the booklet could pass it. That was my introduction to affirmative action equal opportunity.
What is not needed is a controller force with IQ’s of well under 100.
Not only all that, but the black head of the black controllers’ organization emailed all black applicants and told them what answers in the autobiographical section would score the highest. (Which class did you do the worst on in school? Math.)
This is apparently not punishable as any kind of violation, nor is it grounds for the lawsuit, because he did not use his official email. Just information he obtained in his official duties, which is different. Uh huh. Let’s try that shoe on a white foot.
The DIE(!) controllers have made for lethal situations. I was cleared for takeoff on a runway the black idiot had just cleared someone on short final to land! He said, “UM...can you see da udder airplanes, or sumfin? He be der and I tout maybe he be down already for you.” Kid you not!
I took the ATC test in 1991. Scored a 97.5%. Guaranteed entry...but I wasn’t. I was white. That was 1991! Never got called for the job.
“I took the ATC test in 1991. Scored a 97.5%. Guaranteed entry...but I wasn’t. I was white. That was 1991! Never got called for the job.”
It’s nuts. Want to hear another one? A guy told me he was in the border patrol academy. Got kicked out because he could not keep up with the Spanish class. He said everyone else in the class was Hispanic and spoke Spanish as their first language. He was the only white guy.
Ask FedX how the minority DEI pilot hire, Auburn Calloway, worked out.
I can believe it. Why do Americans pay taxes anymore?
That’s despicable.
I can’t believe they got extra points if they did poor in math. Should be just the opposite.
Thank God every day we have Trump, so much is coming to light. And getting fixed.
