American Airlines plane crash

[76-1]

It is true that the Biden and Obama FAA prioritized DEI over safety. Whether DEI is directly responsible for this crash, we can’t know yet.

I personally don't see it as being directly responsible for the Reagan, Potomac River crash itself but the extreme efforts going all the way back to Obama to bring DEI into the mix when it came to hiring ATC's certainly appears to have had a direct effect on the shortage of Controllers and in some cases, their overall competence... If you lower the standards you get an unsurprising result...

There's an Aviation Lawyer who has been on Fox and Newsmax recently who has made some eye opening and extremely concerning (if true) statements about DEI and the hiring, training and retention of ATCs... His name is Micheal Pearson (he's also a former ATC)..,

Here's the clip from Newsmax (the FOX one was clearer but I can't find it...):



Now I disagree with him about the helicopter pilot in this case not having "any" responsibility for the crash but what he has to say about the long term effects of DEI and the ATC's going back to Obama is both interesting and concerning...

Hmm - so because this woman attended some pride rallies and stood behind a lectern with the presidential seal are you implying that she shouldn’t have been in her role and might have been directly or indirectly responsible for last week’s crash?

Do you think last week’s tragedy would have been avoided if there were no people you consider DEI hires on board either air craft?

Sometimes people from under represented populations actually are hired on merit. I don’t know what happened on that helicopter or plane, but it’s bonkers that any serious person would suggest that none of this would have happened if only we didn’t have all these DEI hires.

Here’s a link that you might find helpful.

I’ll wait until the final investigation comes out, but right now there is nothing about last week’s crash that would suggest DEI initiatives caused it. I honestly don’t know how you’d even begin to prove that.

I find it pretty despicable that this tragedy is being used as an example of perceived failings of DEI efforts. Supposing that all of this could have been avoided had only people perceived as non-DEI hires been involved is at best an absolute guess.
