Come sit next to me : pats seat:
Because if it's someone who wasn't qualified for that job but was put there because of politics, that makes it politics. Which would also mean the DoD effectively murdered those people and heads need to roll.
Do you want your pilot to be skilled, or do you want them to check an identity box?
Why did Trump go straight to DEI? Does he know something no one else knows - yet?
When tragedy like this happens, I can generally think of only two causes - an unexpected event - like a lightning bolt, or a bird strike or that sort of thing - or error - on the part of SOMEONE. Challenger was caused by an error in the DESIGN. Other accidents happen because of carelessness in things like, maintenance.
The accusation of DEI goes straight to the issue of why conservatives oppose DEI - it puts someone in charge of something who is not qualified to do it based on their knowledge and skill. Thus, leading to mistakes, sometimes serious ones.
I have read a number of speculations on why it happened, and what mistakes might have happened - but as of yet I haven't seen one attributable to someone placed in a position via DEI making an egregious error.
Admittedly, this has always been something about Trump I've never been fond of - the quick to run his mouth thing. It's precisely the thing he complains most about the left and their allies in the media (except they often persist in it even AFTER knowing all the facts).

Especially at FAA.
The egregious error is that competent candidates for ATC jobs were not considered due to the FAA holding out for "box checkers".
I get that, and I don't disagree. I'm personally referring to those who are acting like Selena Gomez and posting ad nauseam about their sorrow for people they don't really know.

So which was it? The Blackhawk pilot or the ATC?
71% of ATC are white and 78% are male, I know this forum wishes both of those numbers were 100% but that is expecting a lot of white men.

Compound that with the folks that were fired because they refused the jab.
And IF it turns out that the Military pilot was a "Checked off identity box" type of person - then their incompetence will also, ultimately, be the cause of all the collateral damage and expense.
The expense to ALL the local law enforcement, fire & rescue, governmental and other agencies involved. There will also be a real physical and pyschological toll on all the personnel involved. It could all be "blamed" on that 1 incompetent person.
THAT I have seen. What I have NOT seen, is that THIS ACCIDENT was the result of a DEI error.
People can still make mistakes and NOT be DEI hires.

You folks are painting yourself into a corner, basically if a tragedy or accident happens and a white straight man is involved then it a very sad incident. Otherwise it’s incompetence, how can anyone but a white straight man then be trusted to do anything?
I know that, but I'm talking about all the other LOCAL drama llamas I'm seeing on my FB feed in the past few days.
