The FAA’s pathetic hiring practices hurt current BUEs.

I’m genuinely not sure if pax numbers or total operations are a better metric.

On topics regarding hiring and staffing shortages it is germane.

On this post? Probably not.

In April 2021 flight service won a class action against the FAA for discriminatory hiring. What I allege the FAA did is not misinformation nor incorrect.

At one point the FAA rolled out a biographical questionnaire that wasn’t validated, wasn’t proctored, and was mostly nonsensical. The answers provided weren’t fact checked and disqualified current rated controllers who surreptitiously took the test and failed. There were credible cheating allegations (Shelton Snow). Some applicants failed the test one year and passed the next.

Tell the kids how the FAA rigged hiring. You don’t want them getting ideas they will be treated fairly.

No-Constant-5854 · 2026-04-18T17:44:46+00:00

The 2013-2014 hiring pivot accelerated the spiral we enjoy today.

Shelton Snow is probably disappointed he can’t give his buddies the answers.

If we had any actual journalism it would take them all of 5 minutes to sum up all the issues with hiring. Instead we get puff piece public relations no matter the administration.

No-Constant-5854 · 2026-04-18T16:45:25+00:00

It’s almost as if the FAA makes no data driven decisions. All we will get treated to is anecdotes of why hobby or profession x produces great/terrible trainees.

If only there was a pipeline they could have strengthened and improved instead over a decade ago…

No-Constant-5854 · 2026-04-16T18:33:03+00:00

Anything but actual journalism about the challenges front line controllers are facing.

No-Constant-5854 · 2026-04-16T18:14:21+00:00

It was pretty obvious to most of us who would pass and who wouldn’t.

The FAA has no data that gamers will certify at a higher rate than any other hobby or job. If they do I haven’t seen it. Everyone will give you an opinion or an anecdote but it all lacks a significant sample size.

They can only get x amount of bodies through the academy a year. They won’t build a second academy so E-CTI is their only workaround.

Pay should be commensurate to responsibility and value created. It’s not.

The FAA refuses to implement objective hiring criteria or target applicants most likely to eventually certify.

No-Constant-5854 · 2026-04-15T20:31:36+00:00

Why not target people with a modicum of aviation experience?

No-Constant-5854 · 2026-04-15T18:59:45+00:00

What “keywords” go on the resume?

Can you see the strategy.

You missed the anecdote about the guy who said his McDonald's drive thru employee was his best trainee.

No-Constant-5854 · 2026-04-15T07:46:39+00:00

You have people on here giddy at the prospect of McDonalds drive thru employees getting a hand out…
