I saw that earlier. And now I find out Trump was right that DEI might be the cause of the Reagan National crash. Boy, this man is phenomenal! MAGA2025!
I just read that ‘female’ pilot is actually a trans-identifying man. I thought that meant his hiring had nothing to do with DEI, until I remembered transgender is DEI. Elon Musk posted best comment: DEI must DIE.
The stats which they suppress hear you out
4-8 times the accident proportionate rate flying
Doesn't matter whether she was flying or not, The Helicopter Aircraft Commander is responsible. As the co-fish she may contribute, but this is on his head no pun intended.
500 hours is HAC check time.
Straight up BS.
It is dark? NVGs are the greatest safety device helo pilots ever received. No NVGs and the probability of light to dark vertigo goes through the roof.
If I’m flying, I’m talking.
The helo wasn’t landing but yes, happens all the time. From the film, both were in the same reference frame.
No altimeter in their scan?
What public manifesto?
Little head won?😁
Something reassuring about glancing in the cockpit and seeing a tall grey haired retired fighter pilot at the controls for sure. But hey, that's me.
Oh boy, now we are going to have some real fun!
You’re kidding, right? There’s a group of posters that would disagree.
So, beyond the whole trans thing, it was a national guard pilot?
Aren’t they only on duty a weekend a month?
How would that schedule qualify for threading the nighttime needle through such a crowded little commercial corridor?
I chalk some of it up to upbringing.
You should have seen it last summer with several posters on various threads adamant that women should not be voting because some policy decision didn’t go the way they wanted. The sad part - a couple of women posters were in support.
Eh, the weekend duty is a bit misleading. You could do your two days any time during the month depending mission, MOS, etc.
And depending on the unit, then there were the “admin drills”. As a senior NCO, or officer you were expected to attend these unpaid drills. Not attending could hurt chances for promotion. The admin drills “fad” stopped for a lot of units in the late 80s/ early 90s as it was masking staffing shortages.
