Fox News obtained exclusive information regarding the crew members aboard the Army helicopter at the time of the accident. The instructor pilot commanding the Black Hawk boasted 1,000 flying hours.
Meanwhile, his co-pilot was a woman with 500 flying hours, considered to be a standard level of experience in aviation circles.
The revelation that the co-pilot was a woman has reignited ongoing debates about gender roles within military operations.
Fox News reported:

Well, the “hit” seemed to be right on target.
“””the Soviets used women fighter pilots in WWII.”””
It was against the Soviets that German pilots ran up 100s of kills as individual aces, while the top American ace got 40 kills.
We’ll probably never know if this co-pilot had anything to do with causing the accident. But the DEI programs will always leave a question mark.
he did mean the ATC
and he was referring to the dei hiring practices concerning mentally ill people
Waiting for Tulsi Gabbard’s response to this line...
And we have not even got to the air traffic controllers yet.
Trump was trolling in a perverse way at the news conference today.
He knew MORE than he was saying.
That’s what smart folk do.
That’s what great leaders have always done.
Don’t forget they owe us for a rib.

Yes, under the Biden administration, the U.S. Army, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and American Airlines have all emphasized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in their recruitment and promotion strategies, though the specific goals and measures differ by organization. Here’s an overview of how each has approached DEI in terms of recruiting and job promotion:
1. U.S. Army
The U.S. Army has been committed to increasing diversity within its ranks, focusing on improving recruitment from underrepresented groups. The Army has pursued initiatives aimed at:
Increasing Diversity in Recruitment: Efforts have included targeted outreach to minority communities, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities, aiming to create a more inclusive military force that reflects the diversity of the U.S. population.DEI Training and Leadership Programs: The Army has incorporated DEI objectives into leadership training, emphasizing inclusivity and ensuring equal opportunities for advancement within the military.Promotion of Diverse Leadership: The Army has set goals around improving diversity in leadership positions, with programs intended to address disparities in officer ranks, particularly among women and minorities.2. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
The FAA, as part of its commitment to DEI, has established goals related to both recruitment and promotion within the agency:
Diversity in Aviation Workforce: The FAA has worked to ensure that its workforce more closely mirrors the demographics of the U.S., especially in aviation-related technical roles, which have traditionally been male-dominated. They’ve focused on increasing the representation of women, racial minorities, and other underrepresented groups.Job Training and Career Advancement: The FAA has offered mentorship programs and targeted initiatives aimed at improving retention and promotion opportunities for underrepresented groups within the aviation industry.Inclusive Work Environment: The FAA has been working toward creating an inclusive workplace where all employees have equal access to career development opportunities and are treated equitably.3. American Airlines
American Airlines has had a strong focus on DEI, with formal goals and initiatives aimed at ensuring diversity in recruitment and promotion:
Diversity Recruitment Goals: American Airlines has put measures in place to ensure that their hiring practices target underrepresented groups, including racial minorities, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’ve made efforts to increase the diversity of pilots, engineers, and leadership staff.Leadership Diversity: The airline has specific goals related to increasing diversity within leadership positions. This includes initiatives to improve the promotion and retention of diverse employees and creating an inclusive environment that supports career advancement for all.DEI Programs: American Airlines has implemented various DEI programs that focus on employee education, promoting diverse talent, and ensuring an equitable work environment where all employees have the opportunity to thrive.Summary
All three organizations—the U.S. Army, the FAA, and American Airlines—have placed significant emphasis on DEI goals, with formal recruitment and promotion strategies aimed at improving the diversity of their workforce. These goals include increasing diversity in hiring, creating an inclusive workplace culture, and ensuring equal opportunities for advancement for underrepresented groups. The Biden administration has generally supported and encouraged these types of initiatives across federal agencies and corporations, as part of a broader push for more inclusive practices in the U.S. public and private sectors.
“””as long as she met the same qualifications as the men”””
I don’t think that has been the rule during the entire history of women in the military, at least until the military started lowering the standards for everyone, to try and conceal the different standards in place for women.
Women are perfectly capable of being competent pilots.
Unless she was flying the helicopter, the point is moot.
Bingo. I know many very good women pilots from my days working for a refueling squadron.
I know many, many women pilots that are outstanding. There is much more to the story.
The problem with females is not that they cannot fly. It is that too often they are pushed forward despite not meeting standards. The military is especially prone to this.
But the most dangerous thing in the air is a pilot with around 500 hours. Enough experience to feel very confident, but still not that experienced in relative terms.
A 500 hour female... could be problematic.
How much for one rib?

Adam could’ve refused to disobey God, but he didn’t. They are both at fault.
To contrast, 1500 hours is the federally mandated minimum to be a commercial pilot. The flight hours for the military pilots is on the low side.

That’s funny.
Now there is the big question. 🤔
“I have controls” may be a death sentence.
