"CTI students, much, much better. They're better trained better prepared they outperform the off the street hires," said Gilding.
Anthony Foxx is the head of the Department of Transportation that oversees the FAA. This is how he described the hiring changes to Congress in March. "The FAA took an opportunity to take a broad opening of the aperture if you will to try to get a larger universe of applicants into the program," he said.
"Opening the aperture", code for diversity. But just a year ago the FAA gave the CTI program a glowing review. Stating, "It is clear to the FAA that the FAA CTI schools are making great strides incorporate minority students and faculty into their programs."
Apparently the diversity numbers are not to the liking of some within the FAA. So to achieve an internal hiring goal, which has not been made public, the agency is passing over highly qualified candidates. Many of whom are women, minorities and military veterans.

EEO is always couched in codespeak, lest their racism be obvious to all
From the article:
CTI = College Training Initiative.
Thirty-six colleges around the nation (including ASU) offer degrees in air traffic management. The FAA has changed it hiring policy from hiring from a pool of military vets and graduates from universities with air traffic management programs.
The new policy is to hire “off the street”, with part of the screening process an online “biographic exam”. The FAA will then train the air traffic control applicants.
IOW, they are using our money to endanger us, and denying opportunities to qualified applicants, because...why? They think we deserve it? They think it will help members of a preferred race?
Federal hiring is pretty f'd up to begin with. I've never seen an organization that puts most of the emphasis on an application they make little effort to vet and make the interview a check in the block. The net result is that you end up with some good workers, some okay workers and then "OMG, where did they get this guy" workers. I work for an agency that hired a guy that had been fired in the Navy for the primary skill he was hired for in federal service. Needless to say, he has been a real problem. They hired another guy that failed his interview process. He never got to the third part of the interview because he was so bad. He was eventually terminated.
One thing for damn sure is that will do their share of population control. It will probably take about 10 years for them and the legalization of narcotic drugs to work their magic.

I always put African American. If it is anonymous it shouldn’t matter. But after submitting the same resume to the same company as both black and white and having my black resume pulled, I realized the EEO and college is the recruiting tool. Everything in between is crap.

The FAA - The Federal Anti Aviation Administration. GA is off by 2/3 at my airport.
One more reason not to fly.
The FAA is now run by non-aviators who hate aviators: Liberals.
