CONSERVATIVE BRIEF
Current and former air traffic controllers are raising concerns about the Federal Aviation Administration’s hiring practices and “immunity program,” warning that these issues may have contributed to the recent midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
According to former air traffic controllers, the FAA’s emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) hiring practices that began during the Obama administration led to the employment of less qualified controllers and a staffing shortage, a concern that was first echoed by President Donald Trump during a press conference following the deadly disaster, Just the News reported.
Combined with an “immunity program” that does not hold controllers accountable for mistakes, these factors are believed to have contributed to the January 29 collision between an American Airlines plane and a U.S Army helicopter, which resulted in both aircraft plunging into the Potomac River near the Washington, D.C., area airport, killing all 67 people aboard.

It’s a bird it’s a plane it’s a black hawk helicopter it’s an “immunity program” – run for your lives!
Yet, the liberal, Marxist democrats are very proud of their stupidity.
The thing is, every single Federal or State agency will be just as F’ed up. Every single one.
That was abundantly clear the instant they hid the identity of the pilot.
My (adopted) father was a controller in the 70’s & 80’s.
If they got 2 aircraft within a mile of ea other it was considered a near miss.
They had to go through review and counseling.
This new non standard is disturbing and dangerous
Let’s put smart people with training and ability in the towers.
or
Let’s put people lower on the ladder of everything and hope they’ll change and get smarter just be being there. After all the Øbamboozler was all about hope and change…
Which one makes more sense?
you don’t understand Harry, there’s an immunity program, SAT scores don’t matter anymore, the entrance exam is an autobiography of victim hood.
just a handful of peaceful mistakes?

Sounds like Dim voters and their Dim politicians.
lol Bad Brad.
My mother’s 2nd husband adopted my brother and I when we were 12 & 13.
He used to bring us into Boston Center (Nashua, NH).
Back then their computer room was the size of 2 gymnasiums.
The left mocked and maligned President Trump for saying the same thing. DEI was to blame for the mid-air collision. Again he was right. Winning! and the left can’t stand it.
