Gang there’s a lot at work here. The trainee was flying with less time getting proficiency flying time than maybe she should probably because of DEI practices. I spent a considerable amount of time training men to handle watch stations on a US submarine. It was always you go to the bottom we all go, so as a trainer my job was to instruct the trainee but be close enough to intercede to prevent a catastrophic mistake sinking us all. If and it’s a big if, she veered of the flight route and was too high in altitude it was the trainer who screwed this up. What caused the circumstances heads right to policy and who set that policy. If this event is tracked to root cause as was the Challenger explosion, it’ll go back the Obama starting this crap and Biden amplifying it. EOS
Best analysis based on what we know now (no mechanical issues).
She may have relayed to the check pilot an intent to correct the flight path and both were focused on the right side at the jet that was departing the field while the more important landing airliner was approaching the left of the cockpit.
