I tell all the young guns on my team I can barely manage one screen at my age. These guys are running 3 some days when testing.
Never once what I said. Simply saying that all possibilities need to remain on the table. You libs always immediately want to rule out any possibility that would put the blame on your side. Again, most likely just gross negligence.
Since the tower simply made a one way call "blackhawk, do you have the a visual on the CRJ?" That SHOULD mean that coms had already been established. Now that doesn't mean that the chopper may not have switched channels, maybe to listen to the ATIS? Cockpit work load can get pretty busy once you are within 10-20 miles of the airport.
Who knows?
How about we just wait for the facts?
Also, you could just say we need to not rule anything out. You don’t have to specifically mention DEI.
YOu won't believe this, but basketball players even practice on a basketball court.

Trump wastes no time placing blame on Democrats for midair collision
From CNN's Michael WilliamsPresident Donald Trump on Thursday, without evidence, sought to blame the policies of previous Democratic administrations for Wednesday’s deadly mid-air collision over the Potomac River.
“We must have only the highest standards for those who work in our aviation system,” Trump said. “I changed the Obama standards from very mediocre at best to extraordinary.”
He continued: “You remember that. Only the highest aptitude. They have to be the highest intellect and psychologically superior people were allowed to qualify for air traffic controllers. That was not so prior to getting there.”
Trump added: “When I arrived in 2016, I made that change very early on, because I always felt this was a job that, and other jobs too, but this was a job that had to be superior intelligence, and we didn’t really have that. And we had it. And then when I left office and Biden took over, he changed them back to lower than ever before.
“Their policy was horrible,” the president said, “and their politics was even worse.”
Trump would have whipped the dog piss out of them as well. Can I get an, amen @dbmhoosier? Keep making these boys read the truth until they hear it.
45,000 flights per day and it’s been 16 years since we’ve had a major airliner incident. You have better chances of winning the Powerball than being in a plane crash like today.
We don’t need a man who hilariously says he picks the best to do anything.
He is cruel and evil to the core.
60-70 people died in a tragic accident and he launches into attacks on Obama and Biden while also trying to make it sound like he's king awesome and knows anything about aviation. He's a sociopath.
I wish he had some grownups around him who would have told him to say something about the nation mourning this terrible tragedy and that he and Melania send their heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the people we lost. All he did was ramble and said meaningless drivel.
Given all other norms and SOPs are being challenged, I think it's time for news organizations to make a point to NOT cover anything he says after a national tragedy. He's horrible at it and says absolutely nothing helpful.
He's a moron. Maybe he should have pretended this was a school shooting and offered up the GOP boilerplate "this is no time for politics. Thoughts and prayers."
Is what he’s saying accurate re recruiting? Remember the prior admin comprised the dumbest administration of my lifetime where woke was the motivating factor for policy. It why they were curb stomped. And now we have Gru

It is amazing that Trump had the time to look into the intelligence levels of the people involved already. He must be a master googler.
So, if the ATC in this incident is a white heterosexual male who also drinks too much, and maybe even cheats on his wife, can we blame Pete Hegseth? Because, here's the thing...this happened under Trump's watch. The buck stops squarely on his desk, so it's his fault, either by his action or inaction. He doesn't get to play Monday morning armchair QB after the fact, because he's the fcking starter here.
On bad things, Trump just hasn't had time to get around to fixing it.
On good things, Trump must have already fixed it.
Trump's too busy just playing golf and not being transformative to have done anything.
12 hours after this horrific tragedy, he’s assigning blame and making it political.
He is a despicable human being. And his claim that people in the industry have “psychiatric disabilities” is particularly rich coming from him. He’s running the country and is CIC, while out of his fvcking mind.
Anyone, including you, who attempts to defend this evil and insanity is as bad as him. Wake the fvck up and get your head out of your ass.
I'll put 10 bucks down now that the ATC is going to be someone who was hired from 2017-2021 and Trump will quickly pivot to blaming the helicopter pilots.
Any takers?
Any takers?
Could well be. But let’s still vet hires. Both things can be true. I’m all for diversity but making it top priority in certain industries occupations isn’t optimal. I wouldn’t trust any of the practices that came out of the prior administration. Social workers running the show. I’ll take musk’s hiring over that in certain jobs all day long. And maybe the hires have been fine. Cool. Then we know
Trump is a narcissist. He has no empathy. He can’t even fake it. He’s our worst rep in times of tragedy. Examining prior hiring practices doesn’t bear on that. Even tho trump’s timing is dogshit per usual
He is f-cking narcissistic moron who has no idea what's even going on. He just parrots what f-ck sticks like Stephen Miller say into his ear. We have 4 years of this chaotic bullshit to look forward too.
hope McConnel rots in hell, he could have ended all this
He was appointed because he liked trains as a boy. That was his entire qualification.
No Biden could have. But he too is a narcissistic moron. He fckd the country and could have tapped out to allow for a primary. Harris is dumber than shit. She wasn’t going to win. Dems have only Dems to blame. Awful policies and botching the 24 election. With what? Dei Harris
He’s not “evil” or “insane”.
He’s just an asshole who gets in trouble when he speaks off the cuff because he has no tact or sense of what is or isn’t appropriate. But we already knew that about him. He’s his own worst enemy at times.
This is why people call you a shitlib.
And the morons that voted Trump over the score of Republicans in the primary?
You really should just shut the fvck up. You appear more brain-dead with every post.
He was appointed because he liked trains as a boy. That was his entire qualification.
Who? Trump is what people wanted in terms of policy. Closing the border. Shrinking the gov. Ending woke. Not funding the world. It’s times like this we get the shit end
You're leading the witness DBM or whatever you want to call it. Wink and a nod. Hint Hint. Everybody's saying.......
And, at the end of the day, if this is the failing of a single person then it's the failing of a single person. Trying to extrapolate from thsi is fool's gold anywheer else but the absolute shithole that is our polity.
You know I like ya DBM but let's let an investigation play out and see what happens. Then we can pontificate on who's policy positions need gored before the next election
He’s evil and insane. His statement today is yet another glaring example.
And please understand that I don’t give a shit what you and other anonymous losers on a message board call me. Fvck off.
When you enact insane policies and then something bad happens, don’t be surprised when the finger gets pointed at you. That’s how it works.
Again, DBM, we're talking abuot positions like ATCs, pilots (Plane and military helo) that have gone through enormous amounts of training, testing, certification, etc.
Even if these folks were women/minorities/etc. this doesn't prove your point. And, while I'd agree DEI is a mixed bag of results, these tip of the spear occupations where lives are on the line just don't feel like the results that get negatively affecged by DEI policies.
And, lest we forget, that question you want answered will NOT be answered by the investigation completed by the NTSB.
