The Obama administration pressured the FAA to meet abstract diversity goals.
Nobody bothered to explain why diversity is a relevant criterion for air
traffic controllers. No one will explain it now. We called the FAA today and
we got silence when we asked that question, which is the most basic
question. But it didn't matter.
Starting in 2014 the FAA added a biographical questionnaire to the
application process. Applicants with a lower aptitude in science got
preference over applicants who had scored excellent in science. Applicants
who had been unemployed for the previous three years got more points than
licensed pilots got. In other words, the FAA actively searched for
unqualified air traffic controllers. That is insane and they knew it was
insane when they did it but they did it anyway.
Today we obtained new information, it is an internal email written by an
executive at the firm that devised the FAA's biographical questionnaire. In
that email, the executive admits that the test he devised has nothing to do
with finding the best air traffic controllers. If you want good air traffic
controllers, find people with experience, that was his advice. The FAA
ignored this and used the biographical screen anyway. They didn't care about
finding the best air traffic controllers. Compared to diversity, your
safety meant nothing to them.
We reached out to Greg Martin, who is the FAA's top spokesman. We wanted to
know why the FAA would ever use totally irrelevant criteria such as what
people look like in order to hire for a job as vital as air traffic control.
We couldn't get an answer. We also asked the acting FAA administrator
Daniel Elwell to come on this show and explain exactly what was going on and
why he was too cowardly to appear. So was the previous administrator,
Michael Huerta, he was the one who originally signed off on the policy. He's
also a coward. But we are going to keep pushing until we get an answer. |
