The Obama administration’s hiring rules for the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) air traffic controllers placed diversity ahead of safety, says an attorney suing the federal agency for putting American passengers at risk.
Former President Barack Obama changed the FAA’s rules for hiring air traffic controllers so that applicants must pass a diversity test before being considered – an added step in the initial process that is argued to put millions of passengers and crew members as risk.
“For decades, the selection process for the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic controllers was rigorous,” TheBlaze reported. “After all, one minor mistake could cost hundreds of people their lives.”
After those promoting affirmative action under the Obama administration had their way during the former president’s reign at the White House, an attorney representing a man challenging the FAA’s diversity test filed suit against the federal agency.
“Activists inside the federal government decided that air traffic controllers weren't diverse enough, and in recent years – and in the first step of the hiring process – used a 'biographical questionnaire' to screen potential employees,” Tucker Carlson Tonight Host Tucker Carson announced Friday, according to Fox News. “One man is suing the FAA for its updated hiring practice.”
Attorney Michael Pearson argues that for the mere sake of diversity in the hiring process for air traffic controllers, airline passengers’ safety across the United States is being jeopardized, noting that the FAA under the Obama administration scrapped the old hiring standards by replacing them with new rules – requirements devised to increase and prioritize the ethnic diversity of air traffic controllers … above skills needed for the job.
The National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees – determined that the workforce was too white,”

Tucker had this story on his show last night. I wonder what other things Obama screwed up?
FU Obunghole - worst “president” in history.
Obama put Muslim outreach ahead of space exploration at NASA
Obama put legacy enhancing stats ahead of the lives of the Parkland students
The question isn't what else did Obama screwed up; the question is, is there anything Obama did not screw up?
I saw this jaw dropping expose on Tucker and was absolutely astounded at the disregard fgor innocent human life that was exhibited here by obozo. think we may have criminal negligence before this plays out. I honestly would ground all aircraft until this is cleared up.
Trumps fault just because.
The Democrats have controlled the Executive Branch for 16 of the past 25 years. Tremendous harm has been done to the nation. Some of it is irreparable.
Well that's complete and utter PC BS. How the {expletive} does someone's skin color or ethnic background make them a better or worse ATC? Hey FAA show me the numbers or stop this dangerous, potentially criminally negligent policy.
this is my surprised face.

Obama did everything he could to bleed America to death with a thousand cuts.
This is one of the cuts.
Look for train crashes, bridges falling, and other deaths on 'government jobs'...
Obama put diversity over safety at FAA.
Obama put diversity over everything safety at FAA.
Whenever I hear “diversity” what comes to mind is “not excellence”
Interesting article, and definitely wrong-headed policy.
That said, until we do away with gender and racial quotas in the military, the rest of this is small potatoes.
A country whose security force contains anything but the best-qualified members available has already lost. (in some cases quite literally)
The left is more than willing to sacrifice innocent Whites on the altar of PC. If a few non-Whites die in the process, it’s “collateral damage.”
It’s not just in the control tower. It’s all over, wherever they are in power.
I wonder what other things Obama screwed up?
I’ll answer that: anything he touched. Of course that is my view from someone who loves the US. Him, anything he screwed up from his perspective was a win.
Here’s my idea of the end result of diversity hires;

Ok, so we lose a plane or two. As long as we don’t lose our precious “diversity”.
