Regional plane crashes with helicopter

[DELACROIX]

Meanwhile, were qualified applicants rejected because the looked too caucasian?

...documents about FAA hiring practices reveal that last year the agency was recruiting people with targeted disabilities, including 'hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.'

FAA was 'recruiting people with targeted disabilities until last year'

Diversity initiatives ramped up at the FAA under the Obama Administration, were largely swept away during Trump's first term and then reinstated under Biden.

Read somewhere that any new hire had to be over 31 and forced retirement at age 56, similar to commercial airline pilots. It was also stated that they had to go through intense training in order to qualify for the job, most of the initial applicants drop out within weeks if not days. It may not apply to the ATC involved with this crash…but any forced quota system aligned with DEI is an issue nationwide. Much like our universities and colleges, lowering the bar on anything produced the same results..

As of today January 31 .. 40 bodies recovered, still 27 missing..

Who is Jo Ellis? Trans Black Hawk pilot wrongly named in DC crash

Jo Ellis said it is "insulting to the victims and families" to have been incorrectly named as one of the pilots involved in the crash on Wednesday.

We have mentally ill military pilots...

That's why he came out swinging about DEI.

The major airlines still have a 65 retirement age I believe. With some trying to get it pushed to 67.

Another factor is who was flying the copter at the time of the accident. Was it the instructor or the co pilot ?

Normally it takes all 3 crew members to fly, the pilots are busy with monitoring the instruments and crew chief if not busy looks out the windows for the pilots.

Truth behind ugly rumor Black Hawk pilot was this trans woman

Photos of Jo Ellis began to circulate after Wednesday night's crash, sparking claims she was on board the doomed Black Hawk helicopter

www.dailymail.co.uk

Jo Ellis, 34, was misidentified as the female co-pilot of the doomed chopper on Thursday.

A shaken-sounding Ellis picked up the phone when called by DailyMail.com Friday morning, confirming that she was not killed.

Ellis added: 'I am very much alive.'

True but from what I understand, DEI isn’t just about transgender, but it’s about hiring people based on who they are not necessarily what they are qualified to do I don’t think that’s great requirement for these types of jobs and if Trump missed it then the question is fair. Why did he miss it? If it was a mistake, fine nobody’s perfect.

Holy crap

That's the subject of the Tucker Carlson video I posted. It was a known issue but as Darmark pointed out Trump was busy defending himself from constant attacks and may not have given it a priority.

65 for operating an FAR 121 acft.
Many move to FAR 135 (non-scheduled) where there is no mandatory age limit or just fly off into the sun…

Yep
Medical certificate is done more frequently after 45-50 I think.

It’s weird sometimes I think you’re a pretty reasonable guy who just didn’t vote left, but you’re really getting close to getting indoctrinated into this propaganda bs, if you’re not fully already

60+ people killed and you’ve found a way to make the discussion about minorities and women and talk about Kamala Harris

You're indoctrinated if you claim to be Democrat. Same goes with someone claiming to be republican.

The helicopters ceiling was supposed to be 200' it was well over that. I'm going to go all conspiracy. The helicopter had noone flying it. It was being flown remotely.

Wow that’s really coming out of left field for you.

Anybody in the know…do these copters have black boxes or video recorders installed the cockpit ? The same for their helmets or night vision goggles ?

Yes.

Why was the air traffic control tower understaffed?

Takes time to fill positions when you skip over applicant after applicant because they look too caucasian.
