DEI hires at the FAA

Red State:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Thursday that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is launching an investigation into hiring issues at the FAA after a DEI activist was captured on voicemail promising to send screenshots of answers to candidates taking the air traffic controller exam.

Duffy made the announcement in a post on the X social media platform.

"I am launching a full investigation into the DEI hiring allegations at the FAA immediately," he wrote. "If true, swift accountability will come for those responsible. We need the best and brightest, not buzzword, DEI hires."

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has faced controversy over its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Critics argue that policies prioritizing diversity over merit led to unqualified hires and safety risks.

When I am flying the last thing I want is a DEI hire as a pilot or as an air traffic controller.  Former military pilots are my favorites.  I want pilots and air traffic controllers who were hired on the basis of merit.  BTW, the same thing goes for lawyers I would hire for outside work when I was general counsel to an investment banking company and later as general counsel to a specialty retailer with a thousand stores.
