The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who
suffer "severe intellectual" disabilities, psychiatric problems and other
mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring
initiative spelled out on the agencys website.
"Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government,
as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment
and hiring," the FAAs 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 FAAs "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." The FAAs website
shows the agencys guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on
March 23, 2022.
The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg's Department of
Transportation, is a government agency charged with regulating civil
aviation and employs roughly 45,000 people.
ELON MUSK DINGS BOEING AFTER ALASKA AIRLINES SCARE: 'PRIORITIZED DEI
HIRING'
All eyes have been on the FAA and airline industry in recent days, after a
plug door on a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight
on Jan. 5. The FAA grounded all 737 MAX 9 planes after the incident, and
is carrying out an "extensive inspection" and maintenance work.
The FAA added it would increase its oversight of Boeing following the
incident, including auditing Boeing's 737 Max 9 jetliner production line
and companies that supply parts to the airline manufacturer.
Following the incident, social media commenters and public figures have
charged that airlines and airline manufacturers' emphasis on diversity,
equity, and inclusion initiatives has made flying less safe.

JAN. 13 AFTER MID-AIR DOOR BLOWOUT
"Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over
your safety?," tech billionaire Elon Musk wrote on X last week. "That is
actually happening."
"The DEI Rot In The Airline Industry Is Way Worse Than You Think," Daily
Wire commentator 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.
On the FAAs website, the agency claims that people with "severe" mental
and physical disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the
federal workforce.
"Because diversity is so critical, FAA actively supports and engages in a
variety of associations, programs, coalitions and initiatives to support
and accommodate employees from diverse communities and backgrounds. Our
people are our strength, and we take great care in investing in and
valuing them as such," the FAA states.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chairman of Do No Harm a group of health care
professionals, medical students and policymakers working to "protect
health care from a radical, divisive, and discriminatory ideology" told
Fox News Digital that similar to the medical field, the aviation industry
has an obligation to protect its travelers.

'FOREFRONT' AS AIR FORCE LEADER
"The aviation industry has a responsibility for traveler safety just as
the health care industry has a responsibility for patient safety. These
responsibilities outweigh other factors when considering applicants to
work in those fields. People with disabilities who can successfully
complete the task should never face discrimination," said Goldfarb, a
retired professor and the former associate dean for curriculum at the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
"Unfortunately," Goldfarb said, identity politics is "creating
opportunities for so-called oppressed groups by lowering standards for
entry into those fields and thereby endangering the safety of those which
its designed to serve. Some endeavors simply do not lend themselves to
identity politics," he added.

Fox News Digital reached out to the FAA for details on what jobs people
with disabilities would fulfill at the agency, but did not receive a reply
Sunday. The website does state that some managers can hire disabled people
and veterans through an "On-the-Spot hiring process," providing required
documentation is submitted.
The FAA also details that employees with disabilities will be provided
"reasonable accommodation" on the job.
Reasonable accommodation at the FAA "ensures that employees with
disabilities have access to accommodations that suit their needs. This can
include modifications made to existing facilities or special equipment,"
according to the website.
