Breaking News. Plane crash in DC. Collided with either helicopter or drone over Potomac.

Using your critical thinking skills….. wouldn’t YOU say it’s jumping to conclusions to say this accident was a result of DEI policy when we don’t know anything about the staff involved, their credentials, their experience or even the circumstances of the accident?

Isn’t that literally the definition of jumping to a conclusion?

Under Biden the FAA turned down 5000 well qualified applicants because of DEI constraints.
Wake up dupe.

Which had nothing to do with this crash.

Air traffic controllers are 75% white and 85% male.

No air crashes due to Controller Error during his eight years.
No air crashes due to controller error during Biden's eight years.

Yet Cheeto Hitler gets in, takes a chainsaw to the federal bureaucracy, and suddenly, we have air crashes.

Funny how that works.

Yes I understand that.... That however does not preclude a wash of lower quality applicants based on skewed hiring practices.

Though I will admit the numbers that you presented are significant.

Pretty sure the two aren't related. I don't think the missing Palestinian condoms affected control tower behavior on that night.

An eye opener for sure is the fact that the FAA recommends two controllers for that job that was being done by one. Now there's something to look at. Staffing shortages in a critical job like that are no joke.

Without exception, every time I get curious about what someone replied to a deranged Trump-hater on my Ignore List, and click to unblock the deranged Trump-hater, such as JoeB131 or TommyTainant, said to provoke a rational person, I read the most head-slapping, ignorant trash, confirming the sound reasoning for my putting deranged Leftists on IGNORE. If more of you would ignore these individuals, it would clean up the USMB tremendously.

I never use the ignore future. I am an opportunist. Many of those here with TDS are also very talented and intelligent posters from whom I can Garner a great deal of information and posting technique.

I don't have to agree with them in order to mine valuable stuff from my interaction with them. However I certainly do understand you're not wanting to deal with the garbage.

Do those numbers reflect the population by race representation?

They almost never do

Wasn't the helicopter pilot a white male?

Well apparentlly final decision about this rests with Hegseth.... Should be interesting to see how he performs on this first test.

Are you saying he is going to lie about it?

Sometimes silence can equal untruth

 

[struth]

The head of the FAA was pushed out by Musk because he wanted to fine Musk companies.
The freeze on hiring kept pressure on the air traffic controllers.
Trump is just trying to cover his ass for what his own administration did.

He was fired because he was a xiden political appointee. The new admin gets to appoint their own.

He also was incompetent and over saw double the increase in air deaths from 2023 to 2024

We had over 300 in 2024

Tragic

Please explain how his actions were responsible for those tragedies.

Was he not the director of the FAA?? Why was there such a giant increase under his watch?

That's what I am asking you, since you claim it is because of him.

Yet, the warning signs appeared under your senile, Braindead Cult hero.

Near-misses were warning signs ahead of Washington crash

There were close calls at Reagan National airport and across the country before the collision that killed 67.

True, the buck stops when xiden, he was the boss
