Diversity hiring is a way to get a bunch of nincompoops. Hire the best person for the job. Don’t interview. Just go by test scores.

"Joe Biden’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is striving to enlist a diverse workforce through targeting certain demographics even as its air traffic control system is facing shortages and safety challenges."

This is so consistent. The military now ignores merit, so why not the FAA?

Cheer up, it could get worse.
And whether or not we do, it will get worse.
Everything touched by the left turns to Obamastuff.

If that doesn’t make you want to fly I don’t know what will.

Dumb unqualified stupid “diverse” people in charge of your life because of the color of their skin

As a retired ATC(NorCal TRACON), I can assure you that the Diversity Hiring will not be an issue or not nearly as bad as it appears.

Why is that?

They will wash out.

MY wife and I are both retired airline pilots. She spent her last 4 years as a 747-400 captain flying the Pacific. When we were “furloughed” (laid off) during the ‘80s, she got hired by the FAA and went through school at the academy in Oklahoma City. In ‘85 she got fully certified as an enroute air traffic controller. (ARTCC.)

Her comment: “It was the HARDEST thing I have EVER done in my life!”. “In comparison, -737, -757/67, -747 type ratings and international flying were no big deal”.

Worth the read.

Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis

Long story short. Diversity is replacing meritocracy. People who know how to run things are being replaced by people who do not.

Twenty years from now, we won't be able to drink the tap water because the people hired to ensure tap water is drinkable don't know what they're doing. Of course, we'll simply be told that we were never able to drink tap water.

For some reason, Steve Urkel saying “Did I do that”? comes to mind.

It’s only a matter of time before some AA employee, hired for skin color, or sexual preference, or gender and dumb as a post flies an airliner with 500 people in it into another airliner with 500 people in it.
