Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire FAA to hire people with "severe intellectual disability" and "psychiatric disability"

Looks like domestic air travel will very soon be a roll of the dice as to whether or not you make it there alive:

Americans were stunned on Sunday afternoon after Fox News reported the Federal Aviation Administration, overseen by Mayor Secretary Pete Buttigieg's Transporation Department, rolled out a new "Diversity and Inclusion" program to hire people with "severe intellectual disability" and "psychiatric disability" (among various other disabilities), just days after the latest mid-air near-disaster involving a Boeing 737 Max heightened the public's attention to the potentially deadly impact of woke Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies in the skies.

"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 read.

"They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism."

The FAA's "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) hiring plan claims that "diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond."

When satire becomes a reality...

This development comes after a Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliner's door ripped off the plane while flying over Portland earlier this month. X users have said Boeing prioritizes DEI initiatives, which could jeopardize safety.

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

🤪🤪🤪

Maybe they’ll hire some psychic’s to do their weather forecasts. 😜

I have no problem with hiring someone that has the right qualifications to do the job, though.

Hey Danno, they want us back!!!!

Insanity.

but as Dirty Harry said, 'stylish'..........

Seriously can you guys imagine what effort it takes to do satire these days?

So much respect for the Bee.

Targeted Disabilities

The Secretary of Transportation has set a hiring goal of three (3) percent per fiscal year for individuals with targeted (severe) disabilities.

Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring. The targeted disabilities are:

Hearing (total deafness in both ears)
Vision (Blind)
Missing Extremities
Partial Paralysis
Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy
Severe intellectual disability
Psychiatric disability
Dwarfism

They can't have me. I'm not that disabled!

FAA to hire people with "severe intellectual disability" and "psychiatric disability"
IE Democrats!

What could possibly go wrong?

The ones doing this don't care because they fly private and government aircraft staffed by the best their, or our, money can buy.

A not insignificant number of combat veterans have PTSD (psychiatric disability) or have missing extremities. I can’t believe there is an effort to higher people like this, they obviously have nothing left to offer an employer.

Flight crews are not the issue. ATC is where the dice are rolled.

Satire?

I thought something like that was already in place. The last time I visited the Seattle FSDO I was afraid the attendant would drop my certificate he had such limp wrists.

This has to be from the "Bee".

Why do you say that? The Bidenista democrats are committed to destroying the country it falls right in line with their plan are you a denier?.mb

I thought that's what the TSA was for...?

Or the presidency...

Pete is fully qualified for a top job in a Dem administration.

1. Mayor of a small midwestern town.
2. Gay
3. Married to a man


If Pete was straight, married to a woman, Biden wouldn't have given him the time of day.
