Great while Damon bees fightin planes be crashing. The Dumbocrats are bitching that PTs 'DOGE' is laying off ATCs. PT is just on the news saying the govt. wants more controllers to be hired. DEI by the Dumbocrats put people on the job who never should have been their. -
"Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)"
That was the very FIRST thing after sealing the border that Pres. Trump went after. It was forcing minorities into positions in the workplace that they knew nothing 0 about. A female Capt. for Delta airlines turned whistleblower and told anyone that would listen it was going to cause a catastrophe as Delta was putting minorities in the cockpit who were not ready for the job. Thank you Slow Joe regime the X HNIC..
She is one of the top best pilots Delta has and they fired her for running her mouth. Whoops court and she is back on the job or the govt. was going to shut the company down.

Equal opportunity employee. I bet he made “Controller of the Month” a few times too and even had a designated parking spot . They are interesting creatures that should be better studied while caged.Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.Comment

The frigging idiot could damn near have gotten a lot of people killed. That job appears to required total concentration and you see the controllers glued to the screen. Now this jerk starts tearing the place apart while their trying to keep dozens of planes separated. Yup good job Obammy with your DEI bull sheeet.
Now picture the other critical jobs where people who had NO frigging idea what they were doing and are still working. I don't care if their black White yellow whatever if they can do the job fine. But thank God for PT I hope he can fix that frigging mess the Dumbocrats created.

My last time flying was with Delta. They were pushing the diversity shit big time. I won't fly with them anymore. It's bad enough being cramped in one of their planes let alone hearing their diversity advertisement crap

In my experience people who do this sort of thing; like flying off the handle and beating up co-workers, usually give off warning signs way beforehand. They're usually lousy employees, argumentative, aggressive and mouthy. Resorting to violence is how they grew up and is the natural progression of their behavior. As a minority, it's very likely that his employer was afraid to discipline or terminate him for fear of legal action. I know I would. So everybody just had to take it until he finally pushed too far.
On the positive side, there's no recovering from assault and battery. Termination is automatic and simple. The skies just got a lot safer.
There was a news story a while back about a Black ATC trainer who was helping Black students cheat on their ATC qualifying exams. They finally caught the guy, but there's no telling how many minority controllers were ushered into their jobs without proper qualifications.Comment
