The Federal Aviation Bureau is fighting a collective lawsuit that has refused 1,000 air traffic controllers for diversity employment goals.
Complaints on the FAA employment policy re -floated after the American Airlines passenger aircraft and Black Hawk Helicopters dropped crash on Wednesday on Wednesday, killing 67 people in the country’s most fatal aviation disaster in Japan.
Litigation details have also been reappeared. Andrew Brigida, the main plaintiffs of the lawsuit submitted in 2015, suggested that the federal aircraft’s diversity employment and inclusion were likely to occur.
The core of the lawsuit is that the FAA has been replaced with a “biography evaluation” in a bidding to increase the number of minority job seekers under the Obama administration.
Court documents argued that the white Burigida claimed that he had been discriminated only on his race when his application was rejected.
An air traffic controller, who graduated from Arizona State University Training Initiative in 2013, was refused work despite 100 % of the training test.

The lawsuit has been increasing the criticism of FAA facing its employment policy this week. Some people, including President Trump, argue that diversity programs are due to shortage of personnel and the overall standards of air traffic controllers.
Bridida was asked if he thought he had been hiring for many years to guarantee an aviation accident.
His evaluation came when the FAA revealed that the air traffic controller who worked at the time of the crash drop of a black hawk helicopter of a passenger airplane late on Wednesday was working for two people. 。
The Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Air Traffic Control Tower was “not normal between time and traffic,” FAA was found in a preliminary report on CRASH.
According to the report, the responsibility is that the responsibility is usually divided between two controllers, and according to the report, the double obligation to arrive at the busy airport runway and leave the helicopter at the same time. The controller who supervises is drawing the controller.
Airport aviation control facilities have a shortage of shortage. According to the Congress of the Aerial Transportation Commander Workers’ Workers, there are only 19 controllers that have been completely certified on the deck as of September 2023.
The facility must be a deck of 30 people on the deck, according to the goals set by the FAA and controller union.
However, on Friday, the FAA confirmed that there were 25 completely certified air control officers at Ronal Dragan National Airport. Three more controllers that have been fully certified by other facilities are also training at the airport.
An institution said that the air dense tower in the domestic capital has 28 controllers.
Nevertheless, the entire FAA is struggling with personnel arrangement issues because the mass rayoffs of the pandemic era have not yet recovered in 2020.
Currently, Brigida, who works in the FAA as a program manager, says that Trump wants to work “immediately” to fix the apparent person in agency.
“He is clearly looking at the problem at hand, but if he did not, he was convinced that he had informed him that he had a problem with the staffing and air control. He immediately worked on it. “
During the first term of President Trump, the federal lawyer claimed to throw a Brigida case and decided to open an application for a more diverse candidate.
VII of the Civil Rights Law prohibits employers from banning discrimination based on races, colors, religions, gender, and country of origin.
However, the government wrote in a petition in November 2020, “the employer’s decision to spread the potential applicant’s pool during the employment round is not a personnel action that can be recognized based on the title VII.”
The government has added that Bridida cannot claim discrimination just because the new system is no longer profitable.
“Title VII protects equal treatment, not priority treatment,” authorities wrote.
“Therefore, if the plaintiff applies in an old employment process, even if the plaintiff is advantageous, the title VII does not claim that it will maintain its advantage. Instead, the plaintiff actually participated. The employment process must show a discriminatory employment process based on the protected characteristics.
The post arrived to the FAA for the progressive lawsuit, but did not hear the reply immediately.
The Aviation and the US Ministry of Transportation is fighting the lawsuit to go to court earlier next year.
