Do these FAA hiring PRIORITIES make you COMFORTABLE flying?

The Federal Aviation Administration is reportedly taking "diversity, equity, and inclusion" toa whole new level. Apparently, the federal government has ordered the FAA to prioritize hiring people with a wide range of disabilities - everything from "severe intellectual disability" and "psychiatric disability" to "paralysis" and "dwarfism." Coupled with all the recent drama surrounding Boeing, Glenn asks, does this make you more comfortable flying? Because apparently, the FAA thinks it should: “Diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond,” its website says. Do you agree?

GLENN: Okay. So a Japanese domestic flight was forced to turn back. After a crack was found in the cockpit window.

Why worry about that. It's another Boeing plane. Here's the thing we will all love. We're all going to love. Because we all love diversity, inclusion, and equity. We all love it. So the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration is now putting a priority and hiring people.

You ready?

With severe intellectual disabilities, as part of its diversity and inclusion initiative.

According to the website, the FAA claims individuals with targeted or severe disabilities for the most underrepresented segment of the federal workforce. Under its people with stabilities program, the agency says, it's actively recruiting higher and promote, retain, and develop and advances people with disabilities.

The following disabilities are targets for the FAA to hire. Those with hearing impairment.

Vision. Missing extremities. Partial paralysis. Complete paralysis. Epilepsy. Severe intellectual disabilities. Psychiatric disability, and dwarfism.

GLENN: Now, if I were born a little person, I think I would be a little upset that I was put in the same categories of those with severe intellectual disabilities and psychiatric disability.

Do you want somebody who is up in the tower, or making any decisions on planes at all, with a severe psychic, or psychiatric disability? Or severe intellectual disability?

What is wrong with us?

STU: I would go with no. I want the person who is most qualified for the job.

Regardless of their skin color. Or really, any immutable characteristic you can pull out. Eye color, not that important.

The dwarfism, I guess it matters. You need to be able to see over the cockpit dashboard.

That's about my requirement. Can you reach the pedals. That is important to me. Outside of that.

GLENN: What you're saying, you have to be at least that high to ride this ride.

STU: Exactly.

GLENN: You know, it's one thing to say, hey. We all hire all body types.

Or whatever.

Severe intellectual disabilities.

Why would we hire those people?

Why? Sincerely.

I mean, look, you have a severe intellectual disability.

You know, then we're going to have you go and do some job, that, you know, doesn't involve airplanes. That's just -- I mean, that's my thought.

STU: Yeah. Exactly. You would be -- you know, it's not to say, they might not get a job, if they're able to do a particular job, at a particular place.

Maybe it works out in certain circumstances.

There are certain jobs that have certain characteristics. You, maybe, Glenn, aren't the best point guard for the Dallas Mavericks. Right? It's not because they hate you.

It's not because you're being discriminated against. You just might not have the aerobic capacity for the game.

And that's the way it works.

GLENN: No.

And, you know what, I wouldn't make a good pilot. I'm riddled with ADD. Don't hire me as a pilot. If somebody is like me and they're the pilot, I want off the plane. I want off the plane. Okay.

What is the problem with saying that.

We've gone from, yeah. Well, let's hire, you know, the person of color. You know, if they're the same, if they have the same intellect and whatever the same qualifications. Who gives a flying crap?

But if you have a severe intellectual disability, I don't know. I think we should go where somebody, who can maybe think.
