First is was trump derangement syndrome, now it's trump Devotee Syndrome, what will you make up next?
Yes. He claimed the recent crashes may have been the result of Trump and Musk firing everyone in the FAA. They fired some. 300ish. However perhaps the latter is what he meant when he typed everyone.
Some folks really struggle with logic and common sense.
Remember when these same folks thought it was blasphemous to think that the Covid outbreak came from a lab where experiments using Covid were being conducted?
Of course there is that little thing called biological sex that they became irredeemably confused about beginning in 2015, too.
They'll fight tooth and nail to maintain nonsensical facades. Why?
I went to some of the same schools as these people. What happened to their brains?

While we should wait for all the information to be released, it is quite interesting, almost telling, that the identity of the pilot has not been officially released yet.
Anyone paying attention over the last 30 years understands the media's playbook by now.

True. But people are screaming about DEI and they do not know it is so.
That's bothersome. The hot take - shooting off opinions without knowing enough info- is damaging to all rational people.
Delta even admitted that the pilot was a 26 yr old woman, with very little experience!!
It is customary that the pilot doing the radio work is not the one at the controls. In this case, the male was the one communicating with the Tower controller. Also, the Captain was a training Captain so it is likely that she was at the controls during the landing. Male or female, it is clear that there was no flare and the aircraft smashed down on the left landing gear, then the wingtip struck the runway. There was a big plume of white something that could ahve either been the wingtip hitting the snow on the edge of the runway, or the fuel tank being ruptured and the fuel aerosolized. As the runway is 200' wide, and the fireball ignited almost immediately on impact, I think it would most likely been fuel.
And the commuter airlines are full of new, young pilots. There is a pilot shortage and the cost and commitment required to make it through training to get to the airlines is big. And the pay is shit for entry level pilots. But his continuing apprenticeship approach to gradually getting to fly bigger planes is part of aviation.
She was qualified to fly the plane and the approach was stable and smooth. At first I thought it was more of a sight picture issue and simply being behind the plane. But as I said earlier, the more granular data on Flightaware shows a sudden increase in the rate of descent from 800 to 1100 fpm seconds before impact. This is consistent with a wind shadow or drop in the wind /windshear. Not making excuses, nor blaming the pilot but just sharing my insight into the accident.
It really shows me how sick in the head some of you guys are for really not knowing anything about flying but blaming someone because of their sex. It really speaks to the person you are.
So what you're saying is that because there is a pilot shortage, innocent passengers can potentially get killed??
I watched it. And I hate loudmouth bigshot pilots like him. Sure, he's a former military pilot but he's an asshole. I watched the whole video and he didn't say anythign contrary to anything I said, except that he went on about the attitude of that airline for being inclusive. And how attitude it so important. Yeah, it is. And I've known several over confident loudmouth pilots who have eneed up in a smoking hole.
Even the wildest female pilots I've known are consummate, modest and highly competent professionals. Julie Clark and Patty Wagstaff, both world class aerobatic champions and Julie was also a 37,000 hour airline pilot.

Whaaaa? Someone who knows what he's talking about??? How dare you schlong! What madness!!
Lol.
Thanks mate. This was helpful.
This is a straw man argument.
When we talk about a woke DEI agenda, we're talking about DEI that applies to ANYONE that is unqualified or selected over more qualified individuals.
Have been flown by competent female pilots and treated by competent female doctors.
