President Trump slams the diversity push at the FAA

"My administration will set the highest possible bar for aviation safety. Doesn't matter what they look like. They have to be talented..."

"I do want to point out that, various articles, that appeared prior to my entering office. And here's one. The FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities. That is amazing. And then it says FAA says people with severe disabilities are most underrepresented segment of the workforce. And they want them in. And they can be air traffic controllers. I don't think so. That was, a week before I entered office. They put a big push to put diversity into the FAA's program."
