> Understaffing due to discrimination was a factor I'm baffled by this defense.. Understaffing safety correlates with what aspect of its causation? The FAA isn't exactly the same as running the worlds sleaziest real estate firm or social network. If it were, you could apparently fire people because its Tuesday, go home, rape your wife and then maybe take some ketamine and as long as you didn't hire some black guy you aren't the kind of jerk who gets into that dangerous kind of understaffing so of course your organization is going to be fine.

It would help if you read the article. But basically Obama administration changed the rules for admitting FAA air controllers. Admission started to take race into account, lower the bar for air controllers as well as disrupting the then-existing pipeline. Disrupting the then-existing pipeline probably had the largest effect - as students that already int the pipeline found out that they had to start over. Then-recent graduates from the pipeline also had to start over their FAA air controller certification. (that was the cherry on top!!!!)

  Who cares about how Obama reduced costs? Someone who has an objective besides reducing costs and scum who rise to the top on negligence and then lie about their priorities. Tesla's full self driving is a negligence scam that kills people. If he got to the low investment he made in it through not hiring the people he didn't hire based on a lack of diversity in the PhD programs then the deaths would matter? By the standards until 1980 (including even Nixon), I would judge Obama very harshly as a President. Compared to these new clowns, he is capable of analysis of the risks he is taking and not following a sentiment he picked up on a porn site previously known as twitter.

    It wasn't about costs at all. Please just read the article, I beg you.

      Yeah I get your non sequitur. It is magical thinking that reduced staff is different if the intention was different.
