FAA lawsuit claims agency discriminated against air traffic controller applicants on the basis of race
quote:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 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 set a new precedent and 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.

Admitted racial discrimination and promoted it while dangerously abandoning merit.

It was a stupid move because it’s already a hard job that takes a certain level of situational awareness. You had a nice pipeline that helped mitigate that. Politics comes in and it’s still up to the individual towers to check the controllers off, and guess who can’t get checked out…now they are having to hire trainers to help “certified” controllers trained up to their specific tower’s needs.
It’s a staffing mess.

DEI is a clever name for racism.
