Perhaps there should be some exclusions implemented for those jobs
that have potential life-safety impact.


Why? The points apply to hiring, not certification.

Absolutely! When you have an organization(FAA)that promotes people
into management based on their sex or skin color,will not hold you
accountable for poor performance(Unless you are a white male),
protects you if you are a certain sex or skin color, pays you way
more than you know or do, gives you time off to F off and celebrate
"Diversity" on the tax payer dime of course it will attract and keep
a "certain" type of person.


The FAA no longer holds white males accountable for poor performance.



Sorry, my mistake. I meant productive white males.The
sycophants and ass kissers are given a free pass.


Who wants to start a pool for when this guy ends up on either Fox news or
america's dumbest criminals?

Did anyone see this in another thread? Did he out himself or is he
mimicking?

Government "Diversity" Hiring and "Charity" Hiring should
read this powerful quote.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of
its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better
to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral
busybodies(FAA Civil Rights and EEO empires).The robber baron's
cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point
be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good
will torment us without end, for they do so with the
approval of their own conscience." ---C.S. Lewis

I wasn't aware of that.

So you're saying that ATC personnel are able to practice their "art"
based on their performance, and the employment/position test only
qualifies them for performance evaluation?

I can only speak to the policy in effect when I was hired in 1983. Veterans
preference points were added to the individual's score on the ATC entrance
exam. If that total was above whatever the cutoff was, and the person
passed the physical exam, and the interview was satisfactory, the person was
hired and went to the FAA academy for initial training. Veterans preference
points were not used for anything after the initial hire.

I understand. Thank you for the information.
