It might be time to stop flying those friendly skies, America: The FAA
has gone all-in on DEI.

The agency charged with overseeing airlines, plane makers, airports and
every other aspect of civil aviation in America has undertaken a
diversity push meant to bring in workers whose inborn limitations make
them plainly unsuitable for high-stakes, high-pressure roles.

The full list of disabilities targeted “for special emphasis in
recruitment and hiring” includes “severe intellectual disability,”
“psychiatric disability” and a whole host of other ailments.

You read that right: The severely intellectually disabled and the
psychiatrically disabled (that’s a euphemism for crazy) will now be
involved in making sure that planes don’t hit the ground or each other.

Worse still, the agency won’t even say which jobs these targeted hires
will be doing, responding with opaque babble when pressed for comment on
just where a severely intellectually disabled person fits into the
overall org chart.

Given the recent Alaska Airlines almost-disaster due to a faulty plane
from full-bore-woke Boeing and the troubling string of near-misses at US
airports — to say nothing of the other issues plaguing air travel, from
unruly passengers to cascading delays — the FAA needs to be pushing to
hire only the best and brightest.

Not handing out pity gigs to check identity boxes.

That’s what this plainly is, by the way.

If a disabled candidate can do a given job — and many of them can! —
there’s no reason they’d need a special, targeted program to get hired.

It’s why a shrill activist class, when anyone points out the obvious
wrinkles of such a program, takes to X and TikTok to denounce them as
ableist, sexist or worse — as happened to Elon Musk when he slammed
Boeing for its safety failures.

These people have no argument beyond finger-pointing.

DEI pushes have deeply corroded America’s education system and played
havoc with its financial markets.

In response, the private sector seems to be pulling back on DEI, but the
feds still seem to be full speed ahead — unable even to realize that
putting lefty orthodoxy before safety in the skies is utter madness.
