Even if everyone in the chopper had been a white male, it still would have been a Warrant telling a Commissioned what to do.
I admit that I have no knowledge of aircraft or the relevant protocols. But the woman flying the helicopter was sitting next to a “flight instructor”. And the woman flying the helicopter (who had a history of vertigo) stated “I feel dizzy”. And the woman flying the helicopter was heading directly for another aircraft. I feel that the “flight instructor” should have felt free to act for the safety of all.
