DonS 3,292 Posted January 30 FWIW, this article was from last February... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-ags-warn-biden-admin-catastrophic-consequences-faa-pushing-dei-merit-based-hiring "These efforts follow on work that reportedly started under the Obama Administration when the agency shockingly sought out applicants with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities to staff the agency responsible for air traffic control, aviation safety, major airports, commercial space regulation, and security and hazardous materials safety," the letter states. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He made the decision 8 days before this happened and even you stated it didn't have anything to do with it. -It seems highly unlikely that any action Trump took related to freezing air traffic controllers 8 days ago would have any effect on this event. squis acknowledges this. I believe you realize that if you cut back on something, or imply that you need to cut back on something, and then horrible event happens that involves the parties you are cutting back on(in this case ATCs), that would be bad timing. You simply needed to get in your TRUMP!!! reply that even RealTim called you out on. -I don't understand why all of you guys lash out any and every little comment that is not sucking trump's D. Again, in this case, all squis seems to have done is say that it is bad timing. no comments like trump is responsible, just bad timing. this followed by multiple R Geek whining like little b1tches. I know you won't reply since you "have me on ignore" but hopefully others will see this before you mash the report button like a little b1tch.

Regarding how perhaps it doesn't look good putting in a hiring freeze on ATCs prior to this accident does directly lead to the question of whether the ones currently employed are good enough. It's not like it was a new hire in the tower, right? That directly leads to the discussion about how FAA not hiring based on merit might just be a bad thing.

Tree of Knowledge 1,698 Posted January 30 Trump is upset. Incompetence pisses him off. If you can’t grasp that by watching the news conference, I feel bad for you. Having someone who cares so much as President is a breath of fresh air. This is a guy not checking his watch to make sure he isn’t missing any vacation time during a national tragedy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squissy can't bring up ATCs in his TRUMP!!!! gotcha tweet and then take umbrage when folks start discussing the obvious follow up regarding ATC competence. thanks for acknowledging my attempt. I would say you are jumping to some serious conclusions, and that saying "accident does directly lead to the question" is some form of bias. maybe I am wrong, but it seems like there are a small number of plane crashes, and particularly deadly plane crashes each year. And then an even more limited number related to ATCs(like I don't think an ATC was responsible for Roy Halladay crashing his hobby plane). My take so far, there is zero reason to relate DEI to this tragedy. I am not sure how the ATCs could have any ability to stop this event. As in, and this is a very early, only limited looking at this, but its the military's fault, if it is anything other than a tragic accident. Going back to the sucking on Trump's D, you have almost zero knowledge of the competence of ATC's, yet you nod right along when Trump tells you that they are incompetent cause of DEI. All while whining about squis' post that doesn't acknowledge some unsubstantiated claim you are making that ATC's are not competent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squistion 1,944 Posted January 30 https://x.com/ddale8/status/1885079041759146016 Trump has made clear he has less than zero evidence that the FAA’s hiring of people with disabilities contributed to yesterday’s crash, so this whole conversation is a non-sequitur. But since he has started the conversation, some facts (link to full article is below): The same FAA website language Trump blasted today, about hiring people with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities and other significant “targeted” disabilities, was on the FAA website *throughout his first presidency.* In addition, the FAA *under Trump* launched and repeatedly promoted a pilot program to hire (capable, qualified) people with targeted disabilities in air traffic control positions. The Department of Transportation has pushed at least since the W. Bush administration to hire more people with targeted disabilities…and the FAA repeatedly said during Trump’s first term that it’d continue to do so, emphasizing, as it did under Biden, that they’d have to meet the qualifications for the posts. The “January 14” Fox News article Trump cited today as evidence of a last-minute Biden FAA diversity hiring push right before Trump came back to office? It was actually published a year ago - January 14, *2024.* Again, it was criticizing the same language that had been on the FAA website since at least 2013. I’m mostly staying off this site because *gestures broadly at this site,* but come on now. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/politics/faa-disability-hiring-trump-fact-check/index.html (Link to article) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
