> the actual work to get more candidates from diverse backgrounds is difficult and takes time

Yes, it’s lazy and stupid for the FAA to believe they can fix inequality by biasing hiring practices.

The fundamental problem is that the US has severe wealth inequality, which for historical reasons is correlated with race, and for structural reasons (property taxes fund schools, meaning poor kids get worse education) is made even worse.

All of the “wholistic evaluation” doublespeak and weird qualification exams in the world can’t fix that.
