Thank you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Washington He was selected to be an administrator with the FAA not in charge of it. He appears to have plenty of experience as an executive at several airports (see his resume.) He had absolutely nothing to do with ATC so even bringing him up in this thread makes no sense- unless because he’s black and you’re attempting to make a (racist) point about competence?

The Real timschochet 6,764 Posted January 30 1 minute ago, Strike said: No. This thread is about a horrible tragedy. YOUR first thought should be to ignore those people. If you want to have that discussion start another thread about Trump's comments. But this thread should be left alone for those who want to talk about the accident. This is the crap you pulled that destroyed FBG's and the PSF. You don't get that because you're a narcissistic doosh but it is what it is. GFY. As usual you’re complaining about this but you’re only attacking those you disagree with, because you reek of hypocrisy. This should not be a political issue. Trump made it so. His supporters here have chosen to repeat his bullcrap. I’m responding to them because that’s where the discussion has gone. I didn’t take it there. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I can’t tell if he’s qualified or not based on a heavily edited video. Per his experience he certainly is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrailGuy 554 Posted January 30 So the hiring of people with disabilities, turns out this was a trump program from his first term https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/30/faa-dei-trump-fact-checker/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrailGuy 554 Posted January 30 Moreover, the FAA under Trump in 2019 launched a program to hire controllers using the very criteria he decried at his news conference. “FAA Provides Aviation Careers to People with Disabilities,” the agency announced on April 11, 2019. The pilot program, the announcement said, would “identify specific opportunities for people with targeted disabilities, empower them and facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.” The link under “targeted disabilities” is now dead, but the Wayback Machine retains links from June 2017 and January 2021 that show the page was unchanged during Trump’s tenure. The list included: Hearing (total deafness in both ears) Vision (Blind) Missing Extremities Partial Paralysis Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy Severe intellectual disability Psychiatric disability Dwarfism The June 2019 webpage for the Aviation Development Program (ADP) — also now removed but still visible on the Wayback Machine — said the program “provides an opportunity for Persons with Targeted Disabilities (PWTD) to gain aviation knowledge and experience as an air traffic control student trainee.” Participants would get up to one year of experience in an Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), with a possibility of getting a temporary appointment at the FAA Academy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, lgbtqa are made up of disabled people. It's called winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
