MAGA lies.

What.. are you daft or just naturally funny?

I'm sure the folks in DC comforted themselves that their pilot wasn't white as they were crashing.....

What does race have to do with a helicopter pilot that was in the wrong place, air traffic controllers worried about whether they’re going to be forced out and the general lowering of morale that causes? Trump set the stage for the tragedy. Why isn’t his DUI hire at Defense being called out? Still celebrating?

Race shouldn't have anything to do with it. We need the best people in these positions, period.

If you don't agree, let's test it out.

Airline A says "We hire the pilots with the most experience and best test scores"

Airline B says, "We focus on diversity"

Which one you buying a ticket for?

So you're claiming that he should have gotten the job because he's white?

I'm going with the 100% exam results Mariyam-ski ..

Competency means I know my shit when I say it. That I can back up my opinion with evidence. Not that I typed something in an online forum and didn't take the time to edit something that I'm not getting paid to do. You can't back your shit up with evidence, you are not competent

/—-/ I always back up my claims with a link.
Example: Would a trump supporter like to take a shot at explaining this?

No answer, eh? Between Competence Airline and Diversity Airline?

But I know how this goes. Leftists, being the ultimate NIMBYs, want to be morally pure (that is: advocate diversity) but spread the risk around. You need govt fiat to enforce diversity so that the odds of things going wrong is minimalized. Right?

IF YOU KNOW that Diversity Airline was focused on skin color you would never buy that ticket. You would rather all of us take our chances.

It seems great to you until you're the one pummeling to the ground....

This information needs to be spread far and wide. DEI really does equal DIE. Supporters of DEI don't care about human lives. They are perfectly OK with people dying in order to enact their ridiculous ideology.

Liberals keep insisting that Obama never lowered the standards for air-traffic controllers.

But the proof keeps coming out more and more and more.

I don’t expect the liberals to admit that they were wrong.

But I do like to keep documenting this, and showing it to as many people as possible.

The Telegraph just reported:

https://archive.ph/5iuqQ

An aspiring air traffic controller who claimed he was denied a job because of diversity targets said the aviation agency’s obsession with inclusion made an accident likely to happen.

Andrew Brigida, 35, scored 100 per cent in his training exam but alleged that he was denied a position in an air traffic control tower because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recruitment process favoured diverse candidates. He is part of a class action lawsuit filed against the federal agency.

Speaking after the Washington air disaster, in which 67 people were killed, Mr Brigida claimed that years of diversity hiring meant it was only a matter of time before an accident happened.

“You want to hire the best and the brightest for this kind of job because it is a very stressful job and it can take a toll on you, age you prematurely,” he told The Telegraph. “You want to make sure that the people that are doing it are the best.”

Mr Brigida graduated from Arizona State University’s collegiate training initiative in 2013 – a partnership programme with the FAA that was previously used to train and select the most qualified applicants.

After scoring top marks in his air traffic control selection and training examination, he was placed on a preferred candidate list until the FAA changed the rules.

Under the Obama administration, the regulator replaced a skills-based test with a biographical questionnaire to attract more diverse applicants.

When Mr Brigida tried again to become an air traffic controller under the new tests, he said he failed the biographical questionnaire because he “didn’t fit the preferred ethnic profile”.

Very unlikely , they can't find enough people. It was most likely something else that disqualified him.

I'm thinking the pouty leftists have pretty well given up on moral purity as well as common sense.. (actually.. there's a ponderous list of given ups ..

Both supporters and opponents of the Coronavirus vaccine mandate expect it to increase turnover among federal employees, although it is hard to say how large that increase will be and how much of it will be involuntary versus voluntary.

If it's not already obvious, it should be acknowledged that all this DEI nonsense is a DELIBERATE attempt to weaken our nation.
The psychotic demented LEFT want to sow disfunction to destroy our functional society Cloward-Piven style.

Thanks, Obama.

So you're claiming that he should have gotten the job because he's white?

Can you read? Seriously? His point is that he should have gotten the job because he scored 100% on the training exam.

You mean back in 2013?

Then how come we had no accidents before Trump got there and started taking a chainsaw to the government? In fact, the last major plane crash was in 2009, and that was pilot error.
