Tucker: Compared to Diversity, Your Safety Meant Nothing to the FAA

‘We called the FAA today and we got silence’

RUSH EXCERPT:
CARLSON: "The FAA has for decades been one of the most trusted institutions and government and for good reason. Commercial air travel has been the safest in the world in part because of the FAA’s high standards. But under the Obama Administration that began to change radically without anybody paying attention. The Obama Administration pressured the FAA to meet abstract diversity goals. Nobody bothered to explain why diversity is a relevant criterion for air traffic controllers. No one will explain it now. We called the FAA today and we got silence when we ask that question, which is the most basic question. But it didn’t matter ... The FAA ignored this and used the biographical screen anyway. They didn’t care about finding the best air traffic controllers controllers. Compared to diversity, your safety meant nothing to them. We reached out to Greg martin, the FAA’s top spokesman. We wanted to know why the FAA would ever use totally irrelevant criteria such as what people look like in order to hire for a job as vital as air traffic control. We couldn’t get an answer."
