All eyes are on the aviation industry after two tragedies occurred in one week and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Donald Trump will be making massive changes to the hiring practices for crucial jobs to increase safety.

“The president, as you know, took time to address the nation yesterday afternoon. To deliver accountability, he swiftly signed a memorandum directing an immediate assessment of the Federal Aviation Administration to make sure the federal government is maintaining the highest personnel and policy aviation safety standards,” she said during a White House press briefing.

“The memorandum directs the Secretary of Transportation and FAA Administrator to immediately review all hiring decisions and changes to safety protocols made in the prior four years, to take all necessary corrective actions to achieve uncompromised aviation safety,” the press secretary said.

“The review includes a comprehensive assessment and reversal of any deterioration in hiring standards and aviation safety standards and protocols during the previous administration. Aviation safety was addressed by President Trump before the tragic collision took place. In his second day in office, the president signed a memorandum to immediately stop the Biden DEI hiring programs and return to non-discriminatory, merit-based hiring,” Leavitt said.

“In 2018, during the first term of Trump, the Department of Transportation announced it would put an end at that time to using the “biological questionnaire” that was introduced by the Obama administration that punished skilled applicants. President Trump has long led on the issue of aviation safety and will continue to do so, he will continue to deliver on the promises he made to the American people at record speed,” she said.

Her comments came during the same week that a Blackhawk helicopter crashed into a commercial airliner in Washington DC leading to the deaths of 67 people and days before a medical flight crashed into a residential neighborhood in Philadelphia.
