A report by Fox Business News has raised questions about the FAA’s hiring of air traffic controllers by using the results of a controversial segment of the testing to screen out some applicants while favoring others who, critics suggest, are not as qualified.
The test segment in question is a pre-employment test called the biographical questionnaire, a take-at-home test asking applicants questions of which many applicants find it hard to see the relevance. One question, according to Fox, asks applicants about their interest in sports.
