The Delta flight crew on board the jet that crash-landed and flipped over in Toronto was experienced and trained for such ordeals, the airline’s CEO said Wednesday — as he poured cold water on fears about mass Federal Aviation Agency layoffs under President Trump.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian praised the actions of the flight crew who quickly evacuated the plane when it crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, insisting they were familiar with wintry conditions there.
“All these pilots train for these conditions,” Bastian told “CBS Mornings,” adding that “there is one level of safety at Delta.”

experienced
In what ???
When they hide the sex and race of the crew after a crash you know that they are practicing DEI coverup.
Experienced flipping planes.
Pronouns.
I think there is another angle to this crash, I’ve looked at the video a bunch of times, it looks to me that the landing gear collapsed on impact with the runway, when that happened one wing dug into the ground causing the plane to rollover and the other wing broke off.
The questions is, if I’m right which is debatable, what caused the landing gear to malfunction, was it pilot error or a maintenance error.
Remember DEI isn’t just affecting the quality of pilots, it also has spread throughout corporations, in Delta’s case to the maintenance crews.
“””experienced

Flipping burgers.
Landing Gymnastics?
Actually, losing the wing may have prevented fatalities since it was on fire.
OK, now they are experienced in crashing planes on landing.
Old Pilot Truism:
Any landing you walk away from was a good (great) landing.
There is a saying concerning experience. One can have 30 years of experience——or one year’s experience 30 times.
Trained in exiting upside down aircraft? If I fly ever again, I’ll keep that in mind.
Of course he’s gonna say that. What’d we think he was gonna say?.......it’s all about staving off litigation at this point.
Why do you want them?
I heard tower to pilot coms, and I think the pilot is male, but I could be wrong.
More importantly, why doesn’t Delta release the flying experience of the pilot and co-pilot for this flight along with the names. Also, “experienced” is a nebulous term. Does it mean 30 days of flying experience, or 30 years if experience. I think the records will reveal these pilots are at the minimum number of flying hours to get a commercial license.
I think the landing gear collapsed on impact due to the (dangerous) speed and direction of said impact.
Too fast, bounced it, collapsing the main gear on the side that hit first. In smaller planes, it begins the dreaded “porpoise” landing, flopping all the way down the runway.
Good point.
