I don't care about their gender at all. How in the fuck does any pilot not see a large aircraft and not take an evasive turn, dive, correction whatsoever to avoid it. Literally, look out the window and react. It appears they had a long ass time before impact from those videos. SMH.
His SecDef, Hegseth, wants it. A lot of people do. Women have no special combat powers, but do come with limitations. In admin and support settings those limitations can be compensated for somewhat easily, but in combat roles they are very difficult to overcome. And this doesn't even cover the physical limitations they have, almost none can sustain the level of physical output the average male combat arms warrior does. The "unicorn female athlete" isn't really numerous enough to justify their inclusion.
Honestly, if I were the enemy in some hellscape, I'd fight a lot harder knowing there's prizes on the other side. People who think they can impose their special code of ethics when bullets are flying are insane.
Yep the political polarisation has eroded peoples brains.
Times Investigation Into the Deadly Crash at National Airport: 5 Takeaways
New details show that the failures leading up to the midair collision of a regional jet and an Army helicopter were more complex than previously known.www.nytimes.com
1 - The Black Hawk crew failed to effectively execute the common but sometimes dangerous "flying under see" aviation practice.
2 - The air traffic controller could have given a more urgent warning that the two aircraft were converging.
3 - Technology did not work as intended.
4 - The route the helicopter was flying and the runway the jet was using to land formed a particularly dangerous combination.
5 - The Black Hawk pilot failed to heed a directive from her co-pilot to change course.
Only point 5 was solely the female pilot's fault
Of course she did. You just can't make this shit up.
what's miserable is that all the 'so called sexists' were spot on this one.
for the New York Times to write it up this way means it was likely even less favorable to the female pilot.
I had no doubt it was the helicopter pilots fault
DEI isn't about cherry picking anecdotal evidence to try to own the other side.
. The pilot did not ignore or disregard instructions the pilot missed instructions.
Same problem with female prison guards. It's almost like women are attracted to men that are in shape, strange.....
Obviously she was putting on her eye-liner while talking on the VHF, chewing gum, and ignoring her copilot.
Were the standards lowered here? The Pilot had 500 hours of flight time logged so it's not like it was the first time she ever flew a helicopter. You could argue the accident proved she was hired due to lower standards, but that hardly works, considering how many accidents happen across the board.
When a white male pilot screws up it cannot be due to DEI. Also they wouldn't try to obfuscate that it was pilot error or make every excuse under the sun to desperately try and minimise it.
Nobody is making any excuses or obfuscating anything. The investigation just came out and it's clear that pilot error was the primary cause of the accident. But as with all investigations ever, it was not the only contributing cause. It would be a pretty poor investigation if it didn't list all contributing factors.
You're making the assumption that she wanted to miss the plane. I'm not sure that's the case here.
In the rare case a white male somehow avoided having to clear the higher than average standards imposed on them nowadays, it still wouldn't be due to DEI. I'm sure there are cases of nepotism, but it's far more likely that a (young) white male in a role like this these days must have been the absolute cream of the crop to get there.
Or because it is likely to be a factor whenever people belonging to the groups who benefit from 'DEI practices' (race and sex based selection processes) go on to be involved in an incident like this. It is likely they would not have been in the position to cause the incident in the first place if not for the DEI thumb on the scales. That suspicion -and people being wary of DEI pilots, DEI doctors etc- will exist so long as those practices exist, and unfortunately probably even for decades after they stop, because the damage is already done.
The majority of Army pilots are white men. And well, it seems to be an organizational issue going on at the moment.
