LOL
I’d rather have him for the pilot
Gator has a great, telepathic mind, apparently. 👹
Don’t fly with an all female crew with Delta.
Just because news is posted on the internet doesn't mean you need to know their names......
What are you going to do with that information when it becomes available? DOX the family?......Sheesh!
I’ve tossed in the huge possibility of WIND SHEAR on other threads, but everyone seems to be obsessed with the DEI issue and they don’t seem to want to consider it.
I’ve seen small aircraft that are parked, rise up and flip over during wind gusts of 50mph.
The articles say the female pilots are trained to deal with the problems at that airport, but didn’t mention that the main problems are gusts and wind shear.
I watched an interview with retired NTSB airplane crash investigator, Greg Feith. What spared the passenger's lives is the aircraft didn't cartwheel after crashing. It just rolled over keeping the fuselage intact.
OR, it may be they are keeping info on the pilots confidential right now because of all the clamor over DEI.
The cause was very likely wind shear. It slams your plane into the ground. Which is what the video shows. There are only 2 techniques for dealing with wind shear.
1. Land somewhere else .
2. As soon as the plane comes to a stop, get everybody the heck out of the plane.
There is no preparation, there is no avoidance, there is no skill level or experience level that prevents you from a wind shear mishap. If it hits you, keep calm, get everyone out. That is what the pilots of this plane did, regardless to whether they were male or female.
They did what they were trained to do, and did a good job of it.
They don't deserve the attacks and ridicule they could get if they were female.
If this happened years ago, or was known to have male pilots, no one would be making an issue out of Delta not giving out info yet. They haven't even had time to make an evaluation.
Landing gears don't just bust off in a hard landing unless there was a maintenance issue. My guess is pilot error.
Have you ever had wind shear hit an aircraft you were piloting ?
Maybe if you'd read down the thread you wouldn't have bothered to ask that.
I did, too.
The plane being slammed into the runway is what collapsed the landing gear.
They had wind gusts of up to 70 MPH. High winds are often accompanied by wind shear (which is just the wind moving straight up or down instead of horizontal). Happens a lot around certain airports.
Get a model plane or balsa wood/styrofoam flying plane and stick it out the window of your car at 70 mph.
That is what they likely had to deal with. That is likely what slammed the plane into the ground. It doesn't matter whether you are male or female, experienced or novice, there is no way to avoid because it doesn't show up on radar. The best you can do is hold on tight and prepare to evacuate after the plane and any parts that separate have come to a stop.

NEW: Delta is offering $30,000 to each passenger that was on the flight that crashed in Toronto, Canada, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune.
If the passengers accept, the company would dish out about $2.3 million.
Spokesperson Morgan Durrant said the money is simply just a gesture with “no strings attached and does not impact rights.”
Delta CEO Ed Bastian says the pilots on the plane were “experienced.”
“There is one level of safety at Delta. All these pilots train for these conditions. This is what we train for. We train for this continuously.”
Exactly what happens with WIND SHEAR.
You can pull up on the stick all you want, it won't matter. A powerful wind shear can slam your plane into the ground like a giant fly swatter hitting a fly.
Maybe all of the racism towards white men has made us unforgiving. Bitches are reaping what they sowed.
Seems perfectly reasonable. Pilot Qualification should be noted on every passenger ticket.
We also remember Navy Lt. Hultgreen who should have been washed out of flight training, and surely carrier qualification. The Navy forced the evaluators to “qualify” her. That worked right up to the moment she died when she failed to land an F-14 on an aircraft carrier.
We don't see that.
