Recently, second term, the FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual
00:08
disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity
00:14
and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website.
00:19
Can you imagine?
00:20
These are people that are, I mean, actually their lives are shortened because of the stress
00:27
that they have.
00:30
Brilliant people have to be in those positions.
00:33
And their lives are actually shortened, very substantially shortened because of the stress
00:37
where you have many, many planes coming into one target.
00:42
And you need a very special talent and a very special genius to be able to do it.
00:48
Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the federal government, as a matter of
00:52
policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring.
00:56
The FAA's website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis,
01:05
complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism
01:12
all qualify for the position of a controller of airplanes pouring into our country, pouring
01:21
into a little spot, a little dot on the map, a little runway.
