FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities

By Emma Colton, Fox News, Jan. 14, 2024

The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.

“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”

The initiative is part of the FAA’s “Diversity and Inclusion” hiring plan, which claims “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.”

The FAA’s website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022.

The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation, is a government agency charged with regulating civil aviation and employs roughly 45,000 people.

All eyes have been on the FAA and airline industry in recent days, after a plug door on a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight on Jan. 5.

The FAA grounded all 737 MAX 9 planes after the incident, and is carrying out an “extensive inspection” and maintenance work.

The FAA added it would increase its oversight of Boeing following the incident, including auditing Boeing’s 737 Max 9 jetliner production line and companies that supply parts to the airline manufacturer.

Following the incident, social media commenters and public figures have charged that airlines and airline manufacturers’ emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives has made flying less safe.

“Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety?,” tech billionaire Elon Musk wrote on X last week. “That is actually happening.”

“The DEI Rot In The Airline Industry Is Way Worse Than You Think,” Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh wrote in an op-ed last week.

Why can’t I post a link to Boeing sub-contractor Spirit Aerosystems’ DEI page with a picture of a bunch of smiling brown people wearing head rags?

They need to hire more radical IslamoNazi traffic controllers. That way they can just direct planes into whatever buildings they want. They can skip the irritating hijack.

Sounds great. Let’s also limit the flight deck crew to only blind people.

Given all the rivets that don’t get attached, our new motto should be “If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going'”.

What better way to destroy America then to do what they want to do – merit is meaningless and hiring unqualified people who are unable to do the job will harm this country. The dem party is a good example of DEI.

Of course look who they’ve got as head of the DOT – This is just one more glaring example of the intentional disruption And destruction of our culture – Christopher Rufo’s book Americas Cultural Revolution lays it all out.

Anyone following my posts may recall … I’m an engineer … at one point – for over 3 years – I was reduced to working projects for a variety of temporary agencies and sub contractors …

… to complete or fix projects Quota Quacks could not or would not do …

It was literally out of a sci-fi story. See Robert Sheckley …

So … I am surprised.

I am surprised the lights are still on.

If you don’t have a plan for the Mad Max Scenario … there’s a small, but not insignificant chance you will be unpleasantly surprised … (for those of us not already living the Mad Max scenario in various 3rd world nations … )

G-d help us all … 😉

Hmmmm. Well I hadn’t anticipated flying to or in or around the USA, but if I had been contemplating such a thing I would immediately cancel the trip. This gormless idea sounds entirely ill-conceived to me!
