The FAA—the Federal Aviation Administration—is central to the safety of anyone who flies. Among a variety of other functions, it operates the navigation and air traffic control systems and handles all the programs related to aviation safety.
Common sense would dictate that those charged with such jobs need to be of sound mind and body. But the FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer from psychiatric disorders, severe intellectual disabilities and other mental and physical conditions.
The scheme is part of the agency’s “Diversity and Inclusion” recruiting efforts. The FAA claims the resulting workforce will enable the FAA to ensure safe and efficient travel.
