Air traffic control system deteriorated badly under Biden, partly due to DEI | Eastern NC Now

record number of near misses in 2023; dire warnings in 2023 safety report

ENCNow

In 2023 the number of near misses of commercial airliners at American airports skyrocketed to an all time record.  The string of near misses has continued https://ccms.tu.edu.iq/ in 2025. Ultimately, the worst happened in the collision of an airliner and helicopter near the Reagan Washington National Airport killed all onboard both aircraft.

In November 2023, the National Air Safety Review Team published a report to the Federal Aviation Administration that warned that "challenges in the areas of process integrity, staffing, and facilities, equipment, and technology all have ties to inadequate, inconsistent funding,  Together these challenges contribute to increased safety risk, and should be regarded as incident precursor."

So what did the Biden regime do to address these identified safety risks in our air traffic control system?  Nothing.  Their agenda was elsewhere.  What they did do was put out a DEI plan for federal air traffic controllers that demanded hiring more people with serious intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, deafness, and blindness.

It is not yet known if anyone in the control tower at the time of this collision was a DEI hire, but it has come out that the air traffic controller failed to specifically identify which jet the hellicopter was to fly behind.

Dear "Big 'white-people' Bob."
While I try to not judge people by category...
I thoroughly understand your perspective because I hate black supremacist. There are many bad people in the world that need to be checked.

My distrust of you comes from the fact that I'm not sure of your personal definition of "supremacist." I think it is rooted in bigotry.

What a bunch of blather by Bigot Bob to promote letting unqualified people be air traffic controllers to endanger public safety just to meet some silly racial quotas.

Racial discrimination is illegal in the US, and DEI is racial discrimination. The FAA should not have followed Obama's and Biden's illegal orders.

Here is a "fact check" on just how bad the DEI was on hiring air traffic controllers under Obama and Biden: www.thegatewaypundit.com

Apparently the orange idiot sent an email to all air traffic controllers to quit.
I'm not getting on a plane anytime soon.

I refuse to normalize this behavior.

Post WWII, Germans were asked how they could stand by and let it happen. They tended to give 2 answers.
1. I was following orders
2. I didn't know.

Today, we know.
Obeying an illegal order is not justifiable.
The "I didn't know", was lame, considering the stench from the crematory stacks but provided plausible deniability the the weak.

Just a reminder, when the dust settles, neither excuse will will absolve us from our actions in the coming storm.

Bobbie wants his racist quotas to take precedence over public safety. He just doesn't care if those racist attitudes kill people.

Believe it or not.
Hating White People is RACISM TOO.
