The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is embroiled in a hiring scandal, accused of providing 'buzz words' to the National Black Caucus of Federal Aviation Employees to enable preferential hiring. These buzz words allegedly allowed candidates to 'jump to the front of the line' in HR screenings. The FAA also implemented a 'biographical questionnaire' as the initial screening test for air traffic controllers, which had a set of 'right answers' circulated among minority candidates, leading to 90% of applicants, including highly qualified ones, being disqualified. Critics argue that this practice could encourage incompetency and fuel anti-black racism, raising serious concerns about safety and diversity in the aviation industry.
This thread is insane. DEI processes are going to cause some serious air traffic disasters. https://t.co/Npmn9desyS
The FAA basically created a classifier that uses mundane questions like "how many sports did you play in school" to predict whether a job candidate is a minority. This poses an interesting philosophical question... 1/2 https://t.co/wY1VA4i1og
FAA dumbing down standards for air traffic controllers: “the cognitive test posed a barrier for black candidates, so they recommended using a biographical test first to "maximiz[e] diversity," eliminating the vast majority of candidates prior to any cognitive test.” Frightening.

If this is true, the FAA has devised a hiring system that is sure to fuel anti-black racism, if not also stimulate the forming of race-based organizations to protect non-blacks. Everyone, regardless of race, should be outraged. https://t.co/m8R8sskYLp
The FAA implemented a “biographical questionnaire” as the first screening test for air traffic controllers with an arbitrary set of “right answers” which were distributed on mailing lists for minority candidates, and 90% of applicants, including most of the best qualified were… https://t.co/839y7g385f
Lol science being your WORST subject is a secret way for black candidates to cut the line for getting hired at the FAA? That correct? That is some strange, racist logic the FAA is employing to decide who controls our aviation industry, encouraging incompetency. Backwards world. https://t.co/z9cs9sB0XR
This is one of the craziest things I’ve ever read. First, the FAA gave secret code words to students in the Black Caucus of Federal Aviation Employees to put in their resume that would skip them to the front of the line. In another instance of the signals to go to the front of… https://t.co/VSc32hmpj3

I hope you don't get a black pilot. Because if you do, you're gonna be in a crash. Death by DEI. https://t.co/i1UQFvYglD
