Complaints about the FAA’s hiring policies resurfaced after the American Airlines passenger plane and a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Washington, DC.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was too soon to speculate the cause of the deadly crash. Skaters, parents, and coaches from the Skating Club of Boston were aboard the flight.

A lawsuit alleges the FAA denied 1,000 air traffic control applicants due to diversity hiring policies, sparking debate amid a fatal midair collision in D.C.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth provided a key update on Friday morning following the deadly air crash in Washington, DC, on Wednesday evening. During an interview on Fox & Friends, Hegseth defended President Donald Trump partially blaming DEI for the disaster.

There's still a lot we don't know and initial speculation from the media and the president about the causes of Wednesday's disaster appear off-base.

President Donald Trump on Thursday blasted the Federal Aviation Administration's DEI standards at a press conference addressing Wednesday night's deadly plane crash in Washington, D.C.

Trump said he didn't know what caused the crash but "we have some very strong opinions and ideas."

Before the additional flights were approved, a senator warned that the increase could heighten the risk of collisions.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said late on Thursday he will soon announce a plan to reform the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after a devastating collision between an American Airlines regional plane and an Army helicopter killed 67 people.

President Donald Trump signed an executive action he said directed federal agencies to undo diversity, equity and inclusion practices at the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration that he has blamed as responsible for a deadly midair collision between a passenger jet and military helicopter at an airport near Washington.
