The FAA started hiring gamers years ago, maybe that’s part of the problem. They stopped pulling military controllers I think in the Obammy years if I recall correctly. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=faa+hiring+gamers&mid=DE9BECF4B558DE230C21DE9BECF4B558DE230C21&FORM=VIRE
Then there’s also this: https://news.yahoo.com/air-traffic-controllers-mental-physical-164000876.html
It was a near hit.
amid a severe air traffic controller staffing shortage... hummm
.........get used to it...........the big one is coming....I blame the public school system and affirmative action in tandem with DEI and “hire no whites”...............and main stream media.......... AND the Democratic Party.
To quote George Carlin, it’s not near miss, it’s a near hit.
Hussein had to bring in racial equity into hiring so some trained in school for air traffic controllers were passed over for untrained minorities.
Too many fired/not hired for refusing the covid jab?
Undoubtedly, IMHO, another example of the wonderful effects of diversity and government education...
Just think of it as affirmative action in action. Just think about gow much fun your next hospital visit will be.
What the hell is going on in Colorado? Too many Rocky Mountain Highs with the happy smoke?
Accelerating to avoid a head on takes some balls. Maybe an old “Wild Weasel”?
Vaccine mandates and diversity issues limit the competency.
If the pilot was already signed off on taildraggers, then its not at all newsworthy.
Watch the show “Mayday: Air Disaster” streaming free all over the place.
You will never want to fly again.
Most air plane disaster’s are caused from some form of negligence. It can be from the air plane design, improper maintenance, to the air traffic controllers. But by far the majority of them are due to pilot negligence. Even from seasoned pilots. And there is no shortage of fatal plane crashes.
But one thing that always makes me angry is when I seen horribly implemented software and control systems in the modern era that confuse the pilots or secretly take actions that the pilots are unaware of. The Boeing Mcas system was probably the worst example in Air line history. Purely criminal because it was so negligent. A 10 year old would have known better.
Diversity is our Strength...
This is entirely pilot error.
WTH? If the King Air crew heard the JetBlue aircraft announce it was taxiing onto the runway, then why didn't they abort the landing and go around?
And why would the King Air crew inanely transmit "I hope you don't hit us" instead of aborting the landing and going around?
I'm not a pilot, but, to this amateur, all this stuff smells.
How you lovin’ that diversity thing now? Love it to death.
