Brad Mims, Deputy Administrator at the FAA in 2023: "We need a diverse group of air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspective to handle the ever-changing aerospace landscape. I'm calling on students and alumni from HBCUs, Hispanic serving institutions, and tribal colleges to apply now to become air traffic controllers."

Omg. Trump blames the FAA for hiring AMPUTEES and people with DWARFISM (despite the fact that Air Traffic Controllers are required to pass year(s) long training at FAA academy.) l'd like to know which of the controllers he's blaming was a cognitively impaired amputee dwarf?

The ATSA tests the skills necessary to become an FAA controller.

We are actually hiring more safety-critical positions at the The FAA ✈️, such as air traffic controllers and inspectors for pipelines and aircraft. We are refocusing our agency on safety.

NEW: The FAA releases air traffic control audio from the miscommunication involving Marine One as President Trump departed the White House near Reagan National Airport. The newly released recordings capture controllers directing aircraft during the incident, when the FAA says additional air traffic was not stopped during the presidential helicopter's departure, resulting in an airspace violation. The FAA says it was not a close call. Officials say the aircraft were far enough apart, were moving away from each other, and President Trump was never in danger. Jacqui Heinrich breaks down the newly released audio, what went wrong and what the FAA says happened.

Fact-Checking Trump's Lies About the FAA and Airline Safety 1) Trump Seems to Blame Disabled People and "Dwarfs" Trump stated: "As a matter of policy, as identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring, the FAA’s website states that hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism all qualify for the position of a controller of airplanes pouring into our country." FACT: This policy has been in place since at least 2013 under the Obama administration and remained unchanged throughout Trump’s first term. This can be easily verified through the Internet Archive. 2) Trump Falsely Claims the FAA Hires Visually and Hearing-Impaired Air Traffic Controllers FACT: This is completely false. There is no evidence that the FAA hires individuals with vision or hearing impairments as air traffic controllers. The FAA employs approximately 43,000 people, but only about 30% of them are air traffic controllers. Trump’s rhetoric is not only misleading—it’s dangerous.

If a federal judge can make a ruling about SNAP, why can't she also demand the democrats reopen the government? Republicans want funding for SNAP but they also want funding for the military, FAA air traffic controllers, SBA and everything else.
