    The Federal Aviation Administration is fighting a class-action lawsuit
    alleging it denied 1,000 would-be air traffic controllers jobs because of diversity hiring targets — as it was revealed that staffing levels were
    “not normal” at the time of this week’s deadly midair collision.

    Complaints about the FAA’s hiring policies resurfaced after the American Airlines passenger plane and a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in
    Washington, DC, on Wednesday, killing 67 people in the country’s deadliest aviation disaster in almost a quarter-century.

    Details of the litigation re-emerged, too, as Andrew Brigida, the lead plaintiff in the suit filed in 2015, suggested the federal aviation
    agency’s obsession with diversity hiring and inclusion had only ensured
    that an accident was likely to happen.

    And it did thanks to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.
