WTF!?!?

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



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."

They want people to stop flying.

This is a great start.

Destroy all trust & confidence in the staffing & maintenance in the airline industry.

I want competent, stable, and intellectually nimble people flying/fixing/maintaining my planes, thank you very much.

Have you seen some of the crazy shite happening in airports the last 5 years? Gotta fight fire with fire

They've been setting air travel to implode for years now. Making the seats smaller, charging for luggage and drinks, delays, overbooking, TSA etc.

American liberals have taken medicine and science back to the dark ages. They have created two justice systems and the worst public education system on the planet. Destroying trust in flying is nothing for them.

Are they hiring these individuals as pilots? If so, what's their goal? To hire people who will crash planes so that the survivors or families of the deceased will sue the FAA into oblivion?

And yet they won’t let pilots fly on anti-depressants which leads them to self medicate with booze. Sounds about right.

Jesus that is a long way from certain meds that would ground you for weeks sometimes. Last time I worked Air Traffic was almost 10 years ago,but they didn't frick around especially when it came to psychological. This is going to get people killed.

They have been going in this direction since Biden moved into the White House with the aid of Buttigig. No wonder that we have had so many near misses recently.

From the article..

On the FAA’s website, the agency claims that people with "severe" mental and physical disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the federal workforce.

... Are they though? Really?
