The FAA admits that they have been bypassing qualified candidates that have passed all of the qualification tests and are approved for hiring. They are choosing, instead, to hire candidates based on race and gender diversity. Peter Kirsanow, a Republican member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights wrote: "It is even more troubling that many of these reports suggest that the FAA changed its selection procedures because it wanted fewer white male air traffic controllers. A news report quotes Secretary Foxx as telling Congress, 'The FAA took an opportunity to take a broad opening of the aperture if you will to try to get a larger universe of applicants into the program.' I don't speak jive, but I am fluent in bureaucratese, and this is easy to translate: the FAA didn't like the racial and gender composition of the people in its pool of potential air traffic controllers."
