Her race card was no doubt printed years ago.
They are issued at birth..............
Oh, she googled it, so it must be accurate. Right? /s
“so who is right?”
I googled:
Not really, he realized that was neither the time nor place to get into an argument with a TC and wanted to put a quick end to the conversation.
It's quite likely he will have words with her supervisor later.
Well, that didn’t work out how he wanted (per your opinion), did it? As the tape shows she KEPT ON TALKING/ARGUING.
Never apologize....to diversity hires 😂
Cell phones should be banned from ATC..................
tthanks.
Spot on only the selected few never have to pay the price.
Recently, the tremendous US record for air safety established since the 1970s has been fraying at the edges. The first three months of 2023 saw nine near-miss incidents at US airports, one with two planes coming within 100 feet of colliding. This terrifying uptick from years prior resulted in the FAA and NTSB convening safety summits in March and May, respectively. It seems unlikely that they dared to discuss root causes.As of 2014, 83 per cent of air controllers in the US were White men.
That year, the FAA added a Biographical Questionnaire (BQ) to the screening process to tilt the applicant pool toward “diverse” candidates. Facing pushback in the courts from well-qualified candidates who were screened out, the FAA quietly backed away from the BQ and adopted a new exam, the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA). While the ATSA includes some questions similar to those of the BQ, it restored the test’s focus on core air traffic skills.

“ Snotty, immature woman quite full of herself determined to boss around an accomplished male.”
Perfect description of my former distract manager. She rose from sales to DM, but knew way more than all the seasoned medical folks she ‘directed’.
Thankfully retired now.
No mystery, they’ll blame it on racism and white (male) supremacy. Ironically, they will be talking about an industry (air traffic control) that, prior to their DEI insanity, was dominated by white males who did a much better job than their DEI replacements.
The self assurance of the controller based upon her google search, was mind-boggling. The 15 year experienced pilot was gob-smacked as to what he was being told. It was against all his knowledge and training.
A friend of mine’s daughter was in flight school. Female and hispanic. She couldn’t master flying on instruments so they washed her out.
I guess some flight schools are hold on to some standards.
My opinion of hospitals are that they are not only places you go to die they are places that will kill you if you may recover. All you gotta do is give them a chance. The only way to survive a hospital stay is with a body guard advocate.
Related but not related:
A British airways plane had landed in Munich and the pilot was having trouble finding the gate assigned to him. The ATC got frustrated with the pilot and asked him very loudly, “Sir, have you ever been to Munich before?” The pilot responded, “Yes sir, I have. In 1944. And I didn’t land here.”
After some silence the ATC told the pilot to take his time.
Airlines now have stated diversity goals and they care not whether the hires have experience or knowledge. I believe America First Legal is in the process of gathering information with the stated goal of suing several of them.
I think she was right.
A normal approach is downwind past the end of the landing runway for a distance determined by that particular aircraft’s performance characteristics which it allows it to turn base, then final at a distance and altitude positioning the aircraft on the desired/required glide slope for final and landing, about 3 degrees.
A short approach is one inside that box pattern, again depending on aircraft performance. Many consider it to be a semicircular descending 180 from the downwind leg to the runway starting abeam the end of the runway (or the numbers, they are only a few hundred feet apart).
It is an expeditious way to get on the ground. But it has issues of its own, because you never get stabilized on in final approach. You are flying a constant banked turn to the runway. A skilled pilot should have no problem. You might land a little long because of the higher airspeed in the turn and the need to slow down for the flare and touchdown.
