It’s racist to land a plan without causing fatalities.

Hurry up, Jan 2025!

Like Idiocracy, someone decided that Airplane was a policy documentary.

It’s likely that many of the people they seek….who suffer "severe intellectual" disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions” - are on disability of some kind because they can’t work.

It doesn’t make sense that a government agency would want to hire people with these conditions.

This is what, back in my days in Uncle Sam’s colors, we used to refer to as a “Charlie Foxtrot.”

BOHICA!

A lot of people with Down’s syndrome have better work ethics than many government employees, so I don’t have any problem with hiring them for jobs they can do.

How could you overlook FUBAR?

What could possibly go wrong?

That’s okay! Good, even! We are in the Post-MakesSense era.

[Veto!]

My daughter flew home from Australia two nights ago and all I could think of was the door that flew off that plane. She was arriving in Spokane on a late flight anyway and I’m so very glad the door stayed on and she’s home. She lives 85 miles north, spent the night here before driving home.

No passenger or relative should have to be worried about idiocy like that.

[Nervous Tick]

>> I don’t have any problem with hiring them for jobs they can do.

I don’t have any problem with hiring Down’s Syndrome folks, either.

For the JOBS THEY CAN DO.

Federal AVIATION ADMINISTRATION jobs are almost certainly not among the “jobs they [as Down’s Syndrome folks] can do”.

Public safety (including THEIR safety by the way) outweighs the “need” to be a bleeding heart kneejerk sympathizer with anyone “differently abled”.

This Guy must be losing his fastball. Lol

They are going to keep pushing unqualifications until either America is destroyed or they are removed in an absolute fashion.

[KarlInOhio]

Maybe the deaf, dumb and blind kid from The Who’s Pinball Wizard can control flights by intuition like he played pinball.

[dznutz]

Well, they are ruining the auto industry with electric vehicles, why not ruin air transportation too by making it unsafe to fly? You would think this was all some sort of sinister plot to keep people from traveling about freely.

Can someone post a link to the Rob Schneider standup about this?
