I wonder how much longer this will stay up on the White House website? But I'm sure the air traffic controllers at the Ronald Reagan DC Airport were not distracted in the slightest by worries about losing their jobs in a "DEI" purge.

I think I'll call both of my senators this am and read that to them, and tell them they're going to be responsible for all of the Americans that will die as a result of the incompetence of the orange felon
He's deliberately trying to destroy morale and break the government
The text of this WH statement strongly suggests that the FAA had, under Biden's DEI policy, hired incompetent air traffic controllers. So it's likely that the Trump Administration will try to pin the tragedy on "DEI".
My dad devoted a large part of his life to aviation safety & was on the board of an aviation college near LaGuardia. Most students were first time college in their families & come from diverse backgrounds. They are our future & we need to treat them better. Adults must grow up
my dad did the audit (during reagan) after the ATC strike...union members would sit on either side of non union ATC and they would send two passenger planes, heading towards ea other, onto their screen & they'd have 30 seconds to fix it....
this was addressed.
These folks work hard. I don't think
pay is high. I don't know if they have adequate health/mental health care coverage or adequate time off, esp since they are understaffed. It's stressful b/c lives are at stake & the good ones know this.

Hoping that this tragic accident at an airport that many lawmakers rely on will drive this point home.
FWIW, we have a shortage of ATC. It is a stressful job. It requires skill and focus and ppl performing
