If an employer considers anything "other" than skill and personality... they're doing the consumers a disservice.
DEI and Affirmative Action, despite your definition... caused people to be hired based on race, religion, gender... etc. :/
Just so we are on the same page here, this would unequivocally be considered a DEI program, right?
"The FAA’s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period, issued under Trump, said the FAA’s Office of Aviation Safety would, in the 2020 fiscal year, “continue to promote and support the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.”
Also during Trump’s first term, in 2019, the FAA announced “a pilot program to help prepare people with disabilities for careers in air traffic operations,” saying that “a key focus for the FAA’s Office of Civil Rights is to identify specific opportunities for people with targeted disabilities, empower them and facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.” The FAA continued to promote the pilot program in the latter half of 2020, near the end of Trump’s first term."
Surely you were screeching about DEI back then, right?
I mean those people with disabilities definitely took a white man's job.
