15,214. That’s how many times between October 2021 and December 2024 commercial airplanes and helicopters were separated by less than 1 nautical mile (6,076.12 feet) laterally and less than 400 feet vertically. In addition, the NTSB found 85 events that involved a lateral separation of less than 1,500 feet and vertical separation of less than 200 feet.

It’s asinine.

There was another near miss in crowded airspace involving four military jets flying to Arlington for a flyover and a civilian plane (Delta). What’s going on?

Don't fly into DCA anytime soon until Trump get it fixed.

I haven’t seen it mentioned but perhaps someone has already posted that it’s our elected representatives on Capitol Hill who ultimately bear the responsibility for the existence and operation of that airport, AND for the military aviation activities in that vicinity.

When you give preference to race or sex in hiring and promotions as opposed to skill set, this is what you get.
Resentment!
And dead people!

BINGO! And that is why I’m waiting for MAGA Republicans to launch a comprehensive government-wide study to reveal how many hiring decisions have been determined based on race and sex quotas annually over the past decade.

So who should be charged since the entire crew is dead?

Study in one hand and Schiff in the other and see what fills up first.
What will they do about it? That is the political football.
Regan had the “balls” to fire them, will Trump?

Now race and sexual preferences, A/K/A, degenerates, freaks of nature, and perverts have replaced talent and ability, and intelligence....etc.

Why not? It's the same behavior as at the ticket counter, the gate, and in the economy section.

At least at baggage claim they steal the luggage and photograph themselves wearing the clothing later.

The chain of command. If a helmsman screws up and runs a ship around the Captain gets the axe.

By that “logic” Trump ought to be impeached. After all, he was Commander in Chief.

The Soviet Army used to run on the lines you advocate. If Private Conscriptovitch was reported to have raped a civilian woman, his Platoon Commander would be relieved. So would his Company Commander, Battalion Commander, Regiment Commander, Division Commander, Army Commander and Front Commander.

Want to guess how many rapes got reported under that system? They were covered up, even if Conscriptovitch’s chain of command had to steal a fortune in public property, to buy silence from the victim, and her family. Or arrange for Conscriptovitch to die in a “training accident.”

Oh, it also meant Soviet Soldiers were not allowed off post, and had to content themselves with raping each other. A tradition that lives on in the Russian Army, which makes the Putin Fanbois veneration of that institution as a bulwark against Globalhomo quite ironic.
