I got a good friend who works for the FAA at a major airport.
He told me the experienced controllers and technicians are retiring and
leaving by the dozens and the only thing they are hiring are black
females and people who are basically unqualified and stupid. Now that's
scary. I never thought the FAA would be a victim of social engineering.
They are in the safety business!!

I'm not a pilot (or in any area of aviation) but I've felt that
the FAA has been going down for some time, along with their leadership.
I'm sure you're aware of some of the friction that has existed between
the FAA and the NTSB over some safety issues. But the PC milksops here
will tell you that this is PROGRESS!
