Did you see my post #31. I agree that a “substandard” pilot should not have been training in that corridor.
Yes and you are correct. She was just coming off a White House job and was out of the flying game. Left the white house when Trump came in and they were trying to spin her back up into flying and get her current again.
I bet there is a very good chance she left the White House position two weeks ago when Trump came in.
In the larger sense, she was “substandard” at that moment and needed to be brought back up to skill level.
