00:08disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity
00:14and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website.
00:19Can you imagine?
00:20These are people that are, I mean, actually their lives are shortened because of the stress
00:27that they have.
00:30Brilliant people have to be in those positions.
00:33And their lives are actually shortened, very substantially shortened because of the stress
00:37where you have many, many planes coming into one target.
00:42And you need a very special talent and a very special genius to be able to do it.
00:48Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the federal government, as a matter of
00:52policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring.
00:56The FAA's website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis,
01:05complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism
01:12all qualify for the position of a controller of airplanes pouring into our country, pouring
01:21into a little spot, a little dot on the map, a little runway.
