Basic bitch bench warmer with another inspiring contribution.Meltdown
yikes (edit: I need to finish reading before posting @Goduckies)I was in the police chopper as an observer east of LAX over the 710 freeway. We were at the authorized altitude and there was a low overcast. I look up to the right and a jet liner comes out of the overcast and went just over us. I could see rivets plain as day. A very unpleasant experience. The jet wasn't supposed be below the approach attitude but the pilot decided to make a visual approach and damn near killed everybody.
They did tell the helicopter what to do.![]()
Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane
I am FOR a well functioning and safe aviation system. From a policy perspective it has needed better leadership for 2 decades. From an operations perspective, ATC has done a very good job with what they have to work with (outdated technology and low staffing). The NTSB is one of the most effective government agencies. The FAA has fucked up aircraft certification oversight policy (Boeing) and ATC modernization, but still has people in the ranks who have the proper technical know-how. Tossing out folks with deep technical knowledge and capable ATC operations people (there is still a shortage) as "career government bureaucrats" is bullshit. We need those people to doing their jobs to keep the economy moving. There are plenty of career government bureaucrats elsewhere in the gov't, don't get me wrong, but there needs to be much more thought put into this.LipoTrump’s decision was a bad decision for the country in a multitude of ways.
It’s not related to what happened today.
