>>Quite the opposite. I am pointing the gap on the part of FAA by not also extending the invitation to white guys and gals whether they have a college degree or not.<<

And you know such an invitation was not extended- how? - Bill

Because they were not included in the FAA recruitment video.

=================

In addition, you are aware that standards for admission and graduation are the same whether you are white, brown, black, red, yellow, purple, male, female (or other) - Bill

Same????

The FAA Is Being Sued For Throwing Out Air Traffic Controller Applications Based On Applicants' Race

A class-action lawsuit by the Mountain States Legal Foundation has found a substantial amount of documents showing discriminatory hiring practices by the Obama-era Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiative, which rejected qualified air traffic controllers based solely on race.

The lawsuit is led by Adam Laxalt, the Former Nevada Attorney General and co-counsel at Mountain States Legal Foundation. If it succeeds, it could set a new precedent and force companies and government agencies to hire employees based on skills, eliminating diversity quotas.

The lawsuit alleges that the FAA turned away more than 1,000 qualified air traffic controller applicants. These applicants passed the normal tests before the Obama-era FAA threw out the test results and the applicants with it.

The applicants were part of the Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI), which started in 1997. The FAA worked with colleges and universities to offer air traffic control degrees, and as a result, these graduates became the main source for hiring controllers. The program's candidates were highly qualified. They have already graduated from a 200-hour training program and achieved high scores on the AT-SAT.
