DC Black Hawk vs Plane crash, Philly Crash. Malicious, or incompotence?

If this was an exercise in evacuating high level human assets, why was there not significant “avoidance” system in use on the helicopter, or was that part of the exercise that they barely miss.

It’s ridiculous in all aspects. Everything should be merit based and the fact dei exists shows that’s not how some want it. It used to be about equal opportunity and then when that didn’t work they just started planting people in positions to check a box aka “equity”. Somewhere there’s probably a black, legally blind, midget wanting to be an ATC and there will be looney leftists fighting for it to happen for the sake of “diversity”.

Don Quixote. Tilting against windmills.

No one is "planting people" in positions. When you think white man is the peak candidate, everything else is "DEI". Just insufferable nonsense.

I assume you are okay with rules regarding veterans receiving preferential interviews and hiring? Where's the "pure merit" there?
I haven't heard much whining from you about the current Trump cabinet sprinkled with people who are, without a doubt, not the most qualified.
His press secretary? I guess her qualifications are...Project 2025.
His Transpo and DOD? They were on Fox?

Come on.

Yeah, but not on the Trump scale. He definitely has a type. Bleach blonde, young, tv camera smile and experience. Brunnnettes are ok if they are good looking. Noem. Gabbard. No ugos.

Notice Sarah Huckabee Sanders has not shown up in any relevant way in Trump 2.0. And who is press secretary now?

Get old and get a little bulldog in the face and he casts you out. Same with his wives. Compared to the botched plastic surgeries at Mar A Lago, she's a 11/10. I've noticed Noem put quite a big of gender-affirming care work in before she got the nod.

Being a veteran at least potentially offers skills and experience. What does being a tranny offer? Guaranteed to be out for extended medical leave and psychiatric appointments? Trump may have made appointments for various reasons but none were to check a dei box.

Because the FAA was so focused on DEI, they explicitly DIDN‘T hire hundreds of very qualified whites, leaving ATC chronically short staffed. There is a lawsuit over that issue right now; but I bet you already knew that; but we’re just hoping that we DIDN’t know.

That's the issue that nobody seems to want to address.

Also pretty sure the incoming aircraft was at their 10 or 11 o’clock - not their 5 o’clock as she stated. At least from the video I saw.
Click to expand...
Yep. When she brought up the aircraft taking off instead of on approach she lost some credibility. I think the other pilot video from a couple of days ago made more sense the helo had visual on another aircraft in trail of the CRJ. They would both be in the same quadrant of airspace out of the windscreen.

Noem was a governor, too.
Click to expand...
Deflection denied. Noem had been governor for 6 years. She was elected to her second term two years ago. Sanders was elected to her first term in 2022 in the same election cycle Noem got her second and final term. And Noem scored a cabinet position for four years instead of term limiting out in two more years. Sanders has seven more years in the Governor mansion ahead of her.

The job took me to Indy after I finished the academy. Would love to get back down south at some point.

Let me know if you need any restaurant recommendations. It’s a great place to visit.

Equity doesn't mean equality.

DEI isn't a set of standardized rules -- it's making reasonable accommodations. Y'all get so hung up on the D part that you don't realize the E and I aren't radical things. "Oh we're hiring black midgets with eye problems to be ATCs" (really a quote I heard from one of these guys) isn't DEI and isn't happening.
Click to expand...
In DEI is does and in fact it means equality of opportunity & outcome (that's the part they always get hung up on) at any cost. Its similiar to how the left uses the word "reform". When they want to change something their way, its reform, even when its not (almost always) an improvement which is what reform actually means.

DEI isn't a rigid set of rules, nor is it the bogeyman it's made to be.

The idea of DEI IS the idea of ADA. Like "hey, your shoppers...most of them walk...but people in a wheelchair buy stuff too. Make things equitable for them by providing access and bathroom accomodations. DEI.

Hey, this kid has a learning disability, but they can still learn. Give them some accomodations and possibly modifications to allow them to attend classes and learn. (IEP/504)...that's giving them an equitable education. And you know what classes with both mainstream and special ed students are called? Inclusion Classrooms. For decades. Well before DEI was coined.


Hey, we have a school that's mostly staffed by female teachers, but it's healthy for young boys to have male role models. Let's consider, when possible, making an effort to find high quality male candidates, but not at the expense of merit. Diversity.

late reply @jwells

wheelchair access in stores, bathrooms, and even product placement are covered under ADA, and other associated laws. so no that's not DEI.

I have no clue about what is required with teaching, my only thought there is to avoid a lowest common denominator situation. if the learning of other students is negatively impacted by something its a negative, even if its to provide inclusion for others. I had two "inclusion" classes in HS, granted that was almost 2 decades ago and there may have been improvement, but the whole time I didn't learn anything while they catered to the special needs.

and to the last, I already said that yes, a straight white male could be a DEI hire. doesn't make it any less dumb.

you ever going to apply it yourself?

It comes across as extremely shallow when you practice this very thing. and it hasn't changed a lick since you went "independent"
