Just a coincidence where people die.
Again.

Allegedly, but it’s out there.
Conflicting Information so I deleted.

Reports are this guy/gal is still alive.
But what a fucked up time in history that gender dysphoria is even a consideration. -
@EverettChris posting incorrect information on this board and having to remove? Shocker lulz

See, I’m already more honorable than your media sources, Spaz.

I think it has been covered by other folks since I am just catching up on this thread, but there indeed have been DEI hires throughout the industry. Some of it is corporate greed and corner cutting or whatever, see Boeing. Whether you want to accept it's probably a factor is another topic I guess.

about what I expected from you
What, no meme this time?

@Fire_Marshall_Bill i agree with you-we shouldn’t bottleneck what would drive pilot safety!

I have not seen that covered. Sorry.
What is a DEI hire? There have absolutely been outreaches to find more employees to work in aviation. It's a labor intensive business and labor shortages have been a challenge. There is still a shortage in many roles. That outreach takes many forms.
I struggle to comprehend anyone in position of authority to approve someone to proceed in a safety critical role due to some lessening of standards for non-whites. They would be derelict in their duty if that happened.
Fucking Vanilla.

Actually, I don't struggle. You can just look at the dementia patient's administration. You think the Secret Service DEI hire was concerned about the safety of Trump? You think that Mayor Buttplug was appointed to make the US transportation system more efficient? You think that Kamala was selected as VP because of her sterling record?
Look, it's just not about hiring DEI incompetents. I agree that at some point you can relax standards and still hire DEI candidates. But, they actually have to be able to sort of fly a plane and sort of handle air traffic at a busy airports. And you can sort of cover up their operational inefficiences by giving them the easiest flight routes or make sure they have a really good co-pilot. Or that they aren't given an ATC job at Reagan airport but keep them at Omaha, Nebraska.
Next, who was supervising the ATC at Reagan AirPort and who was there boss? Apparently, there were only 19 ATCs on duty out of 30 supposed slots. You had the one ATC handling the airspace where the tragedy occurred. At what point does someone say, "Hey, we can't handle the helicopter traffic and all helicopters are now exclude until further notice from Reagan airspace." Your down a third of your needed staffing. You restrict air operations at 50% down? 75% down? When you have incompetent leadership you get bad results. The guy handling the airspace may have been a top performer but he was trying to do two jobs. I'm assuming that it wouldn't be his call to restrict accesss to the airspace. Whose was it?
Finally, there are two ways to hit your DEI hire quota. Assume DEI hires are your numerator. And your total hires are your denominator. If you are having trouble getting your numerator up to DEI speed, then you restrict your denominator by not hiring competent white males. Which is what happened. Then you blame problems on a staffing shortage. Sorry about the math leftards.
