This wasn’t just some DEI/ESG score based thing… There were people who had the answers fed to them! I don’t care why it was done, doing this seems to be the real moment the entire diversity effort seems to have become a farce. It’s unacceptable manipulation of a candidate selection system that would obviously lead to some kind of repercussions. This is classic “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” stuff. Everyone is trying to do the right thing, wanting to improve the situation where the FAA was the least diverse federal agency seems like a laudable goal, they didn’t just rush it, they took years to develop new processes… it just so happened that some people got too keen, forgot their own responsibilities and began to advocate to help diversify candidates using methods that go beyond what is acceptable OF ANY CANDIDATE. No one should be fed answers like that, I don’t care if your Black, White, Martian, or Italian, it’s cheating, it’s just cheating the damn selection process and it’s obvious a problem… Separating this from the diversity issue is quite difficult given the history, but fundamentally it’s necessary to have a proper discussion about it. It’s not DEI as a concept that lead to this, it’s people who made decisions and conducted themselves in a way that had broader consequences than just helping make the FAA a more diverse workplace.
