It’s almost parody at this pointThe fact is though, even with Trump doing those things, it might not have been the cause according to officials. And neither with it being from a minority (and last I heard it was a white male pilot and traffic controller, but if I’m wrong please someone correct me)[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.politifact.com/article/2025/jan/30/did-donald-trumps-firing-of-aviation-officials-mak/[/URL]Officials saying probably not trumps fault[URL unfurl="true"]https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/trump-evidence-appears-blame-faa-diversity-initiatives-factor/story?id=118272015[/URL]Officials saying probably not dei related “DEI and any similar programs do not apply to air traffic control hiring, though -- no one is given preferential treatment for race, sex, ethnicity or sexual orientation, a former FAA official told ABC News.Applicants must pass a medical exam, an aptitude test and a psychological test that is more stringent than that required of a pilot, said Chris Wilbanks, FAA deputy vice president of safety and technical training.In 2022, 57,000 people applied for an ATC position, Wilbanks said, and 2,400 qualified to attend the academy. Of that 2,400, only 1,000 made it to the first day of training.Wilbanks said 72% make it through the academy and roughly 60% of those will finish training.According to the FAA, the training process lasts about three to four years from the hire date. Applicants must be younger than 31 and must retire by age 55.Anyone who has taken Ritalin or Adderall in the last three years doesn’t qualify, the former FAA official said.”But you guys aren’t even seeing your subconscious bias. If it was a woman pilot who crashed, that would have been the blame right there, because she is a woman and not capable. Same with a minority. But since it’s a male pilot, it wasn’t his fault, it must be some minority. You’re not thinking logically or unbiased</blockquote>
