@pbsnews: President Donald Trump suggested that the Federal Aviation Administration’s diversity efforts may have played a role in a midair collision Wednesday night near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Trump, citing the FAA’s hiring plan, said it included consideration for people with hearing and vision issues, among other disabilities. He said the FAA had also believed their workforce was “too white.” There is an ongoing investigation into the crash and officials have not yet found what led to the disaster. Trump was asked by a reporter how he came to the conclusion that diversity had something to do with the crash.“Because I have common sense,” he said, “and unfortunately a lot of people don’t.” #planecrash #dca #trump #DEI #pbsnews #pbs
Air traffic control is literally one of the hardest jobs with some of the most strict qualifications to be considered. Is he serious?

ATC is one of the hardest jobs to get. I spent years trying to get hired. Took many exams and medical tests. I got turned down because a car accident I had 5 years prior could have given me PTSD.

If I had dwarfism, for example, how would that interfere with my ability to be an air traffic controller?

they still have to be able to do their job to the fullest of the duties it intells. so if someone was disabled and it caused them to not be able to fulfill their job they would not hire them for that
