Unfortunately, your message will be lost on most people when they read this
passage. It invokes an image of a hate monger. Women and minorities can and
do provide excellent experience levels at numerous FSDOs. Instead, why not
focus on the real problem. With the FAA's contrained budget, its employees
are overloaded in a mountain of work and the experienced people get fed up
and go back to the private sector.



I think the OP is complaining that hiring and advancement in the FAA
too often are based on things other than experience, ability and
performance, and that the FAA, like other government agencies, too
often wastes money on things that are not central to its mission.

The OP appears to misplace blame for this situation onto women and
minorities. In fact, lower technical standards and wasted money are
really the symptom, not the cause of the problems there. The real
problem is bad management.



You are correct sir. While people focus on ignoring the "race" and "sex"
the facts and shooting the messenger
or labeling them "racist" etc. the facts are this.

Most of the management now in the FAA is something other than
"hetrosexual white males"
The FAA is in crisis precisely for the reason you mention. Loss of
mission focus and bad incompetent management.

Unfortunately for your argument, it appears that you also are
interested in focusing on things other than ability, performance and
experience.
