Passenger plane from Wichita collides with DC police helicopter minutes ago arriving to Dulles

As the only pilot on this board I can you all don’t know what your talking about!
Such fag, Buck.
You fucking splooge bucket, there's multiple pilots on this board, don't let that stop you from embarrassing yourself further though. Please do post your thoughts.
 
90% sure DEI had something to do with it

Tons of close calls in Austin and other airports, so it was a matter of time

I read something on social media about congress authorizing more flights to and fro Reagan, which was already pretty busy, and something about Delta lobbying, which also seems plausible
Blaming Trump on his 10th day is FS, but I knew it would happen
And what information to you have to suggest DEI would have anything to do with it?
Airlines and the government ATC have been making DEI hires for years and there have been many near misses. It was a matter of time before something like this happened. If it has nothing to do with it, I'll stand corrected.
Please provide evidence of airlines and the ATC making "DEI" hires for years. Please provide statistical evidence of there being more aircraft incidents since whatever make believe DEI programs you think exist were initiated. Or even an NTSB report where a contributing cause of an incident/accident was
Aviation safety requires objective evaluation of competency for any operational role. The system breaks down without that. The industry has definitely tried to expand the overall hiring pool in the past 2 decades simply to help the labor force. That's not DEI because if you're not qualified you're not gonna get hired. There has been no lessening of expectations; if anything they have gotten stricter in order to continue to improve the safety margins of the industry.
 
Look I'd like to keep it classy too and I like having new blood here. But for informational purposes, and I am not an expert in either DEI or ATC but this is where this comes from. Bonchie is red state never Trumper at heart and generally reasonable. No idea if this is true but we are down ATC and it didn't happen 8 days ago. This is a free space to discuss shit including unconfirmed reports of Jewish Space Lasers. Its a tragedy but sometimes we laugh in the face of death as a coping mechanism

 
When you are promoted based on how many lesbians and POC that you hire versus job performance only a leftard would think that actual job performance will improve. You can pretend that ATC wouldn't be affected by hiring based on sexual preference, trans status and POC but that's what leftards feel. United's CEO promised to hire pilots based on DEI and that was a big deal here on the Tug. Safety was a secondary concern.

But for informational purposes, here's a tweet of a retweet of a headline of a screenshot of a Washington Times article.
Much info, very smart.
 
Look ern this is a discussion among adults. If you freak out at anything that doesn't march what you have been told then this isn't the place for you
Attacking the source is 3rd grade debate stuff. Your lack of ability to present a counter is noted

Up until about two months ago it was bragged about.
Do we really need to additionally prove how both federal agencies and the military were using DEI as criteria for hiring?
My company is STILL using it in critical infrastructure hiring. Imagine how de-prioritizing hiring 60% of the population affects an already difficult qualified labor shortage.
You can claim it doesn't affect standards. You can claim it wasn't a contributing factor in THIS incident. To claim it isn't happening and never did at all is wild.
American Airlines ends DEI hiring practices after facing discrimination charges by conservative watchdog

Fern, tighten up your skirt and try and be normal instead of Abbynormal.

It’s A-TOMATOES-FLAMES, Lucky Lindbergh.
I’m no pilot, but you messed up your Google search, Spaz.

Hey @EverettChris-if you were a pilot you would have 100% known what I was talking about without the "A" part and said "bro you forgot + FLAPS". Thanks for confirming you google everything.

Clearly you're a part 91 instead of 131. I will let you google that as well for the difference. For all you non pilot people (everyone except me) I just called him an amateur.

Airline captain here with over 17000 hours.
I haven't dealt with that VFR stuff since my GA days over 20 years ago.
