The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.

“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”

The initiative is part of the FAA’s “Diversity and Inclusion” hiring plan, which says “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.” The FAA’s website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022.

The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation, is a government agency charged with regulating civil aviation and employs roughly 45,000 people.

I used to be neighbors with a grown woman (mid-thirties) who had a “severe psychiatric disorder.”
Things seemed fine when she was on her meds (not all the time) but even while on meds she faked doing chores.
Like the time she faked locking the garage door.
She was cleaned out by thieves before she even got back from her meeting.
Some of these people can suddenly decide it is “time to die,” and just take the plane down.
She used to talk like that in an unsettling way.

When I was in aviation, we were told repeatedly and shown examples of people who signed off work that was not properly done and tragedy resulted. There are no excuses, no outs. You put your name on a document, your ass is on the line. I’ve seen people, QC, suffer disciplinary action for taking someone’s word for a job or even missing a discrepancy in an area he wasn’t even looking in. It is (or was) a serious business.

So, if we actually find out (are told; it’s already known what happened and who is responsible) the details of that plug blowing out, we’ll see if they get the Hunter treatment or the January 6th protester treatment. We may also see if Boeing puts DEI before their reputation or even their survival.
