Diversity hires are hitting the system.
Well a near miss is still a miss!
🤷🏻‍♂️
A sudden panic like that could give a pilot a heart attack ...
Has nothing to do with FATC going totally woke.
Nobody likes working with those White guys, anyway./sarc
That’s what happened in Tenerife in 1977, still the largest death toll from a plane crash ever.
I’ve struck a few tail end skidplates in my day.
I haven’t flown in about 20 years and have no plans to. This sort of thing only reinforces that decision.

Anybody seen Harrison Ford lately?
I would believe that both of those aircraft would have ADS-B which would have informed each other as well as ATC that they were on a collision course.

“The Disastrous Initiative to Hire Air Traffic Controllers Based on Diversity, Not Talent”
I’ve seen videos of Boeing aircraft in development under test doing the exact same thing. Built to take it.
Freepers get to the heart of the problem right away: affirmative action hiring.
Aircraft near-misses are on the rise in the US, amid a severe air traffic controller staffing shortage that controllers say is pushing them to the brink physically and mentally.
The FAA closed its academy for six months in 2020 due to COVID-19 and paused on-the-job training at facilities for almost two years, the agency said.
Of the FAA’s total 13,300 controllers, 26% are trainees, the report said.
This incident occurred in November. The airfield does not have a control tower.
It is only a matter of time.
One of the things that was great about America, and people as far back as Tocqueville recognized it-things WORKED in America. You turn on a faucet? Clean, drinkable water almost always came out, etc.
I have noticed in the last few years particularly, is that things are starting NOT to work. Like the military. And schools.
And Air Traffic Control is going to be one of those things.
Whose mistake? Jet Blue, king air, or controller?
Almost a year for this report to come out?
