After four helicopters crashed in a matter of weeks, the chief of staff of the US Army ordered all pilots who are not involved in critical missions grounded until they have completed the necessary training

I'm not buying the notion that its because of recent crashes. Call it a gut feel on this...
It’s not unusual for the military to order a safety down day after a fatal crash.
Grounded until they finish TRANSitioning?
Diminishing returns from a program of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion fallacy in the Air Corps?
Training= cover for something else going on and blaming the pilots. Somehow I suspect “pilot error” wasn’t involved.
“Diminishing returns from a program of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion fallacy in the Air Corps?”
Since we’re now picking ‘other than the best’ to fly these $50M machines, crashes should be expected.
But the REAL QUESTION is whether Russia and China have the same policies. If not, why not?
Are suggesting the helicopters had problems with their trannies?
Vax attack, but also agree with diversity argument. Someone they let in program froma school that didn’t keep grades or everyone got an A bc of equality and past injustices
Our Army and Navy are, more and more, like a drunk pair of incompetent homeless people...
We are now barely able to properly defend ourselves against Haiti, Peru, and Papua New Guinea...
It’s about the crashes.
A lot of it pilot error, and the case of the TN-NG crash outside of Huntsville AL appeared to be a mechanical issue since there is video of it augering in.
Not sure if the black boxes survived the Huntsville crash, but from what I’ve read, they were able to recover the ones from the two midair collisions and the roll over.
DEI at work
You see this happen all the time after a Dem admin comes in. I am sure it is due to low maintenance because there is not enough money for parts,and less training because not enough money for fuel.Plus add to that affirmative action promotions.
It’s not unusual to have a “safety stand-down” when there’s been a rash of accidents. Gives them time to do some navel-gazing and get people’s focus back on safety of flight.
They must have been using the wrong pronouns.
A regular cluster- health compromised on the ground and in the air expected to be functional.
Its called hotdogging and the main rotor tips meet that causes crashes.
The necessary training can, and will, be everything from Aviation Safety to Chemical warfare, common soldier skills, any and everything to keep aircraft on the ground. Enough days of no flying equals that many days of no accidents. The most cynical action you can imagine.
I’m sure it’s much like the medical profession- whatever it takes to cover one’s butt.
Hi.
Think about theses incidents within the last two years...
Humvees crashing into Humvees. Aircraft falling off of carriers, ships crashing into other ships, and others grounding. Helicopter s crashing into helicopters and ships burning in port.
I could go on but methinks all of this is not by accident.
Imho.
