To further address the potential problem of adverse impact, FAA officials decided to abandon a strict “topdown” approach to hiring and, instead, use a category ranking method. This approach is a form of “score banding” that can be justified on the basis of ignoring score differences that are due to an estimate of the applicant’s true ability. Score banding, although somewhat controversial among selection scientists, “will almost always produce less adverse impact than strict rank ordering” (Biddle, 2005, p. 103) as it ignores score differences likely to be statistically insignificant. Under this scheme, job fair applicants who achieve a qualifying minimum score are divided into two groups: those scoring 85 and above (termed “well qualified”) and those scoring from 70 to 84.9 (termed “qualified”). Those in the “well-qualified” group will be offered employment before anyone in the “qualified” group. DANG IT! Well, I guess I'll be here for a while.
