So for a couple of years now on the show, we've been tracking the issue of flight safety, the airline industry, all the issues in the airline industry.

And a couple of days ago, we did a show about air traffic control in particular.

And we know about DEI and the airline industry and what's done, what's happened there.

We know about we've got planes falling apart in the skies, doors falling off and all that sort of thing. So there are the issues in the cockpit. There are the issues with how the planes are being assembled. But maybe most concerning of all, it's air traffic control because these are the people who we are relying on to, while we're all in the air, we're at their mercy.

And they're going to be the ones who are first line of defense to stop us from having a mid-air collision.

And we know what happens, as we've seen, tragedy strikes when that job is not done in a satisfactory way.

So we talked about that recently.

A lot of comments from people in this industry or around it.

And I think the takeaway from these comments, as always, is that if you're kind of depressed based on what you

heard on my show, it's actually way worse than that. I'm an underrated optimist, actually,

it turns out, because when you start reading the comments, it's always like, yeah, it's that

bad, but it's so much worse.

So we'll go through some of these comments now.

My son scored 98th percentile on air traffic control testing, flu and perfectly handled aircraft, far above required in the simulators, ATC job.

Nope.

All that education and training for nothing.

Told by one of his instructors, Obama

wanted them black and low income. Thanks, Obama. That is still shocking to hear. I mean,

it's not surprising at one level, but it's also shocking to hear. And if you didn't have this

context, you might hear that and say and be skeptical. I know, this is just a comment. I mean, I don't know, but that one of the instructors would actually say out loud, well, no, we, yeah, you scored 98th percentile, but we need, we're looking for someone who's black. You almost want to be skeptical of that because that's not, it's so on the nose. But they actually say that out loud, but what we've seen is that, yes, when we've discussed

in general, the discrimination against white men, that this is something that they're being

directly told.
