The Federal Aviation Administration is currently recruiting workers with "severe intellectual" disabilities or psychiatric problems, and others with mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see how this all ends up.
"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 claims "diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond."
How does diversity and inclusion ensure safe and efficient travel? There is nothing wrong with hiring people with mental or physical disabilities, but please don't tell me it makes travel safer or more efficient. I don't have a problem with hiring people with disabilities as long as they are placed in jobs they can handle and that will not cause them stress.
The FAA’s virtue-signaling website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022.
The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Peter "The Chest-feeder" Buttigieg's Department of Transportation, is a government agency charged with regulating civil aviation and employs roughly 45,000 people. He has done a bang-up job as Secretary, because a lot of things like trains and planes go "bang!" since he got the cushy position.

Things also tend to crack or fall off of planes lately. One cannot blame Buttigieg directly, or can one?
Elon Musk tweeted on X just a week ago: "Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety?. That is actually happening."
"The DEI Rot In The Airline Industry Is Way Worse Than You Think," Daily Wire's Matt Walsh wrote in an op-ed last week.
Critics of such commentary have pushed back on the argument that prioritizing DEI has made traveling less safe, with civil rights groups slamming Musk, for example, for the "abhorrent and pathetic" tweet.

The FAA website claims that folks with "severe" mental and physical disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the federal workforce.
Perhaps that's because some of them had gone "postal." There was a time we weren't even allowed to use that word.
