No he's not.

There's a pending lawsuit on how the FAA denied 1000 or so controller applicants, jobs because of their skin color.

The FAA can't complain there's a controller shortage,

Then have 1000s of applicants denied.

FLASHBACK: FAA turned away qualified air traffic controllers based solely on race

Trump Is Now Blaming People With Disabilities for D.C. Plane Crash

During a news conference Thursday, Trump cited a "big push to put diversity into the [Federal Aviation Administration]'s program," which he insisted happened before his second term began.

"The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website,"

Take the L and move on.

Reporter: "Do you have a plan to go visit the site?"

Trump: "I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what's the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?"

January 20: The FAA administrator quits after Elon Musk told him to resign.

January 23: The Trump administration puts out a fact sheet titled "PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP ENDS DEI MADNESS AND RESTORES EXCELLENCE AND SAFETY WITHIN THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION"

January 29th: Helicopter collides with passenger jet at Reagan National Airport

January 30th: "Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was "not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic," according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times. The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport's vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one."

Are we winning yet, MAGA?

Pilot behind Miracle on the Hudson' 2009 landing reacts to crash
CNN reports that in response to President Donald Trump blaming the crash on diversity initiatives in the government, Former US Airways Capt. Chelsey Sullenberger, the pilot behind the Miracle on the Hudson' 2009 landing said:

"An airplane cannot know or care who the pilot is " what their skin tone is, what gender they are. All it can know is what control inputs are made, and everyone depends upon them being the most skillful and appropriate ones."
