The Inside Scoop About How Covid and Affirmative Action Policy Gutted Aviation Safety

Back around 1990 I took the air traffic controller exam. I did VERY well, and the letter they sent me said I was absolutely qualified to be an air traffic controller BUT there was a hiring freeze, and any new controllers hired would have to be over a hundred percent on the test (which was possible because ex military got ten points automatically - fair enough - but women and minorities did likewise.) So I never did get the job. I was squeezed out by political correctness.

So someone with a poorer score than me probably got the job I was qualified to do. This has been going on for a LONG time.

It's probably for the best; I'm not a calm person and I might have cracked under the pressure (although I'm usually very calm in an emergency situation, oddly enough). But that's not the point; the point is I was bumped because of the color of my skin and the shape of my body.

DEI just metastasized this. It is deadly, as it is now being proven. We have to go back to a merit-based system. Or many more will die.

But to the Left you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet...
