    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.
