Should have NEVER let a DEI land in those conditions.
I bet the female was landing the plane. Just a hunch.
That crash analysis shows it to be typical of a low time pilot. They don’t know how to cross-control the aircraft necessary for a strong cross-wind landing.
I heard nearly everyone got out and I waited for the pilots to be interviewed, they could have told immediately what happened———whoops, somethings not adding up right.
She flew the aircraft while he made the calls to ATC and took care of other duties.
How do you know she was a DEI hire?
All rumors so far. India Times, God Like Productions and misc youtube people. Until it comes from Delta, Endeavour, NTSB or TSB(Canada), it means nothing.
One clue is when companies brag about their DEI hires.
Notice they won’t say who had the controls for the landing.
In the last radio transmission to the tower before landing captain Henman was talking. That is usually done by the pilot monitoring. Which by default makes F/O Swanson the pilot flying. Now the case can be made that Henman wasn’t doing a great job of monitoring. But it was first officer Swanson flying the bird.

Regarding how low fast and flat that plane was coming in; where the hell were his eyes? (To say nothing of the seat of his pants.)
They don’t have to. See my post #11.

I asked you how do you know she was a DEI hire?
You may be thinking of the Washington DC helicopter pilot pair. The Army (woman) pilot was low hours, was getting a check ride to maintain flight certs. Or regain flight certs. Male CWO was handling all radio calls that night.
Here? We are not being told. 40 feet above the runway going down that fast? The other pilot can’t pull it up fast enough.
140 feet up? The other pilot could have minimized the impact, if not avoided it entirely.

I “know” nothing.
I can only ascertain probabilities—and I really like the odds that she was a DEI hire.
You could be correct, but the vid is kind of convincing with him standing outside the upside down plane. I tried to find a backup article but didn’t see the pilots named.
So time will tell.
I agree, you know nothing.
“I asked you how do you know she was a DEI hire?”
We can start with only 26 and “she” with a background girl power advertising mosaic featuring all female crews as clues.
Lol.
Those who demand absolute proof of everything have “analysis paralysis” and get thrown out of meetings in the corporate world.
