American Airlines plane crash

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.
seems like you are splitting hairs trying to justify people being immature with their insults.
 
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.
That’s why I asked if what trump said was accurate. Bc he specifically said those positions were opened up to DEI and were promoting recruitment. I’d put nothing past the squad that ran the last admin. Let’s just find out

He was appointed because he liked trains as a boy. That was his entire qualification.
PBDS. He is no longer around.

Just admit it...this is squarely in Donny's lap, no matter how much he cries and whines about it. It's all part of putting on the POTUS big boy pants.
 
that's scary being stalked by you. why don't you take a header into the next wall you see, soccer star
No one on this board is less educated and less experienced and informed than you. When you’re drunk it’s excused bc you’re impaired. It’s lunch are you drunk? Or just showing that you’re actually too stupid to know better than to post on a political board? Bc if that’s true you get no benefit. You’re just our Otis

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.
Whose fault is this accident? What specific policy caused it? Who enacted that policy?

Maybe wait until there is an investigation into what actually happened instead of spiking the football over 60-70 people who died in this accident.

And for what it’s worth, if there were incompetencies as a result of decisions made by the Biden administration then by all means criticize them. I will too.

He requested DEI hiring practices at the FAA stop the first day he was in office. Unfortunately, the amount of damage the prior administration did takes more time than 24 hours to unwind. There are many positions that people with disabilities can, and should be able to work. ATC's, Brain surgeons, Pilots, are some of the positions that I would prefer to have the A+ students and not the C+ students.

That doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Maybe an emphasis on that will give rise to the next one. Per usual trunp is indelicate but opportunistic

So, was this ATC a DEI hire? If you don't know, you are just falling for Donny's misdirection. If he/she wasn't, then I guess we'll wait for Donny's apology.

I haven’t seen the college transcripts of the Blackhawk pilots or of the air traffic controllers involved in this accident yet.

No I don't know, nor does probably anyone, at this time. If anything, it seemed to me that Trump was more critical of the helicopter pilots than the airline pilots. Whether the ATC has any blame on this we will find out at a later time.
That being said, there are some positions that should 100% be merit based. ATC is one of them. There is all kinds of evidence (google) that the prior administration had goals for DEI hires within the FAA. Does that include ATC? Don't know.

The only thing I have seen is ATC asking Helicopter pilots if they see the regional jet.
 
Just watched an interview with a former NTSB investigator. He says the structure of the Black Hawk creates blind spots. (Also, the soldiers in the Black Hawk were wearing night vision goggles). He also commented about the third aircraft that is seen in the crash video. He speculated (and that’s all it is at this point) that when the Black Hawk pilot commented to the tower that he had the CRJ in sight, he may have been referring to the third aircraft.

So, why are we even talking about it relative to this tragic event? I mean, we probably shouldn't hire cocaine using pedophiles either, but they seem to be able to get nominated for high level positions in Donny's administration.

Which is why it’s stupid to suggest this had anything to do with any policy or DEI hiring process. Maybe an investigation proves that some policy or less than qualified employee was at fault eventually, but it’s dumb to point to that without knowing.

It’s too late, Ohio. Just 12 hours after the crash, while the search for bodies continues and the NTSB is assembling its investigative team, the insane leader of the free world has already created a political narrative for MAGA to run with. Investigation and facts be damned.

yes we probably shouldn't.
 
You haven't seen Trump's either. Seems such a genius would flaunt his 4.+ GPA transcripts.
Ha - yep. If he graduated any level of school with anything close to a 4.0 GPA we would be tired of hearing about it by now.

I saw that JD Vance spoke after Trump. I was kind of hoping he might’ve been a less sycophantic, but no. He doubled down on the idea hiring the best people would be a novel approach by the Trump administration.

Imagine being an air traffic controller who might be beating themselves up over last night’s tragedy and then you hear the president and vice president say you suck at your job and probably didn’t deserve to be there.

I'm pretty sure Desantis did, who was your guy, no?
Yes but it was of no moment. Desantis vek trump were unified maga. That’s who people wanted. It didn’t matter which
You and Marv are trying to shift the burden to the pubs. No the burden rested squarely with the Dems. The election was a referendum on their 4 years of bad policies. When Harris was asked what would you do differently from Biden and she said she couldn’t think of anything it was game over.

People hated the policies of Biden and Harris. Therefore it was the Dem party’s burden to find someone else.

Don’t care about feelings. Get the best people. And if we already have them great
