Hiring qualified people with disabilities is night and day to hiring people simply because they are black, latino, guys who think they are girls, girls who think they are guys, etc...

“similar initiative”
- vague description as usual, but how similar ?

Did that include Air Traffic Controllers or general employees at the FAA ?

Keeping a close eye on your enemies is always a good idea.

A computer programmer in a wheelchair is actually fairly common. Disabilities, as long as they aren’t mental, mean nothing. As long as you can do your job that’s fine. But if you get your job because you checked the tranny box- hit the bricks

Are you suggesting a person confined to a wheelchair, but otherwise completely mentally able, cannot be an air traffic controller?

Lying by omission

DEI and hiring with disabilities are two different criteria

Even if he did, he’s not going the DEI route to include disability for the sake of disability. The person still has to prove their competence.

Exactly. A staffer in a wheelchair can do many jobs every bit as well as a person on two good legs.

How about the FAA April 11, 2019 announcement, “FAA Provides Aviation Careers to People with Disabilities”

Sorry. I simply refuse to get into the rancid quagmire of any leftwing media. Too much history of lying and outright propaganda.

I could see some autistic people being beyond amazing at this job.

And wheelchair bound people.
