FAA going to crap

It's not paranoia. It's the truth. Everyone should be forced to work in such
an environment. My husband has worked for a federal agency for the last 29.5
years. Less than a month ago, his boss told him his next hire would be a
minority, "preferably a black female" regardless if that person was
qualified for the position or not.

And some of the milksops here will tell you there are no quotas.
But some of us know better don't we...

My husband is a PE and the hire would be
an engineer who would be responsible for the design and construction of
structures that could affect the safety of thousands of people. Think about
that and tell me it's paranoia.

And I wonder how many pilots here would feel really keen on flying
a machine that was designed and built by a group of these quota hires.
Would they be willing to put their butts where their mouths are?

In January of 2006, he will be 55 and have his 30 years. He's out the door
if he's not dead from the stress before then. Unfortunately, he will be
leaving an office full of folks who don't have a clue as to what they are
doing. That will be someone else's worry.

I'm aware of this phenomenon. It's happening all over America.
And people wonder why the U.S. is not the pinnacle it once was.
