FAA Workforce Was "Too White", Obama Admin "Sacrificed Safety At The Altar Of Political Correctness"

As if it needed saying, "The Airport Control Tower Is No Place For Racial Redress" but as The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board member Jason Riley exclaimed this week, that is exactly what the Obama administration appears to have done the Obama FAA grounded qualified candidates in the name of social justice.

The FAA seems to believe that having diverse air traffic controllers is more important than having good ones and seems unwilling to defend its hiring practices.

As Fox News reports, the FAA has for decades been one of the most trusted institutions in government and for good reason. Commercial air travel has been the safest in the world in part because of the FAA's high standards. But under the Obama administration that began to change radically without anybody paying attention.

who cares the faa is and always has been a joke. not called the tombstone agency for nothing. have to wait for people to die before making any changes and then it's based on how much they think your life is worth. and believe it ain't much according to them. the mantra of the faa is, go along to get along! nothing ever changes. back when clinton opened up fed jobs to welfare recips they hired a bunch that could not even offer up basic office shills so many of the agents had to do their paperwork but hey got people off the welfare rolls and severely dumbed down the agency!

If the FAA was "too white," then it can be argued that the NFL is too black.
