It has nothing to do with it.

She might have been gay, but that doesn’t always factor in every mistake one makes. I see this on other boards. People want to find out if her sexual preference somehow plays a factor in the accident. She wasn’t trans which I’m sure disappoints some. So now we move to the next topic - he preference.

I read something last night from a pilot who said they might have done something as simple as set the altimeter to 29.79 instead of 29.97 which would have put them at the wrong altitude, by a few hundred feet. Or, the inbound plane (that was asked to change the approach could have had that alt set just off. There are a lot of possible explanations but the obsession over this trans stuff can be too much.

It doesn’t. But her being gay — one of the DEI classes — easily could have put her in that position, which pushed aside more qualified non-DEI people. Maybe it also makes people sit up and take notice about this administration’s concerns about DEI and the common sense factor.

‘...There are a lot of possible explanations but the obsession over this trans stuff can be too much....’

Trans or not, we just read the story of the New Zealand naval commander who ran her country's premier, material assent aground. We also have seen where in Cal. an all female adm., within the fire dept, burnt up half the state...AND witnessed these goons' half-assed, smug, summary lack of feeling for their failures!

It's about the drive to meet ‘gender quota rules’ that are not workable ...certainly unworkable in life and death professions where a single oversight however minute will cost lives.

This angers me to the limit. 67+ lives were lost here and I have to think of it as murder...yes I'm angry

Where is it written that innocent people must make themselves a gift to this ideological sadism!!!????

ANOTHER THING...Trump KNEW this from the beginning of his first speech and it's why he was so direct in his response by including DEI failures in his language! Right away I thought ... “He has ALL the facts and we'll get them later.” At that time and since anyone wants to challenge him about it can FO!

America is fed up with bearing the cost for this deological joyride!

Being gay or female factors in not because those states affect flying to whatever degree but because they check two boxes and put her ahead of a more qualified candidate.

"People want to find out if her sexual preference somehow plays a factor in the accident."

What people are interested in is if she was prematurely promoted to pilot due to being a member in a special/protected class? That's a legit question, and in fact, an important question.

If she was the trainee, how is she responsible for anything even if she was piloting?? I can tell you right now that if a STUDENT DRIVER car hits yours, you won’t get squat from the teen’s family. That is the responsibility of the driving school.

The lawsuit remains against the army here if there were to be one from the airline and passengers. So what difference does it make where she went to school or her sex orientation? As long as she is a legit trainee, her mistakes are the fault of her supervisors. Also of course dead 🙏🏽
