FAA seeks to hire people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ problems in DEI push -- what could go wrong?

Chris Donaldson January 15, 2024

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is actively recruiting those with “severe intellectual disability” and “psychiatric disability” for employment in a push for diversity and inclusion.

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

The initiative shows the stunning degree to which the Biden regime has embraced left-wing ideology, potentially imperiling the lives of air travelers by prioritizing DEI over merit, a stunning revelation that comes at a time when air safety is in the public eye after a “door plug” blew out on a Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft shortly after takeoff.

What could go wrong?

It’s just the FAA, it is merely the government agency charged with regulating civil aviation, our airlines, air traffic control, etc. https://t.co/rW4zPsHNaX

The FAA, which is under the purview of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, himself a diversity hire, states that its “continuing mission” is to “provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world,” the agency employs “roughly 45,000 people,” according to Fox News which first brought attention to the recruiting push.

“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 states. “Individuals with targeted disabilities have the greatest difficulty obtaining employment. This is the only protected group for which Federal agencies may have a hiring goal,”

Reactions were of shock and outrage, especially after the recent Alaska Airlines incident that already had some speculating that lower standards as a result of DEI hiring played a part in the harrowing experience of a door flying off while in the air.
