It might be time to stop flying those friendly skies, America: The FAA has gone all-in on DEI.
The agency charged with overseeing airlines, plane makers, airports and every other aspect of civil aviation in America has undertaken a diversity push meant to bring in workers whose inborn limitations make them plainly unsuitable for high-stakes, high-pressure roles.
The full list of disabilities targeted “for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring” includes “severe intellectual disability,” “psychiatric disability” and a whole host of other ailments.
You read that right: The severely intellectually disabled and the psychiatrically disabled (that’s a euphemism for crazy) will now be involved in making sure that planes don’t hit the ground or each other.
