    Is that actually a thing you have confirmed happening anywhere though? I can see a qualification tie going to diversity (because diversity has been proven to spark creative solutions, etc.), but the myth that “whites” are just being passed over for anyone “non-whites” sounds like racist propaganda. And repeating it as a “question” is playing, either intentionally or not, into that propaganda.

      Yes it’s a thing. They’re even facing a class action lawsuit over it. https://nypost.com/2025/01/31/us-news/faa-embroiled-in-lawsuit-alleging-it-turned-away-1000-applicants-based-on-race/?lctg=607d91df4adeb921db19b3b8 https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/feb/1/editorial-faa-turned-away-qualified-air-traffic-co/

        The crux of the lawsuit is that the FAA, under the Obama administration, dropped a skill-based system for hiring controllers and replaced it with a “biographical assessment” in an alleged bid to boost the number of minority job applicants.

        Why didn’t Trump fix this the first time?

        Too busy golfing?

      While I’m sure it does happen …… no one is doing that to the extent they are understaffed. That’s just dumb. If they are understaffed , its almost always budget
