DEI and crashes....
The preliminary reports are coming out on the Chopper/Plane collision in DC.
Putting it together with other information coming out, I would say with a 99 % confidence that it was primarily DEI.
1. She was just a ROTC grad from UNC, Chapel Hill. Which is a decent school, but NOT sufficient to get her into Piloting an Army Black Hawk !
2. Pilots of Black Hawks coming out of West Point HAVE to be in the TOP 10 % of the Graduating Class, which is SUPER competitive !
Even for women Graduates from West Point.
3. We were first told she had 500 hours. The total flight time has now been shortened to UNDER 350 hours ! What we haven't been told is; a. How many hours in a Black Hawk ? b. How many hours as a Pilot, Co-pilot, or just ride a longs in the crew cabin ? c. Her Pilot grades IN the Black Hawk ? d. How many times had she flown the check ride route ? e. As Pilot or Other.
4. The BH had been granted permission to fly visual flight rules, which was normal elsewhere, how about DC ?
5. Altitude is reported at 300 feet, which is 100 feet above the flight plan AND permission. Why 100 feet too high ?
6. ATC gave them 15 seconds to change altitude, speed, directions, which is PLENTY of time for a BH !
7. Was the enlisted Check flight guy, deferring to an Officer or a Women or someone he knew was a DEI hire from the White House and NOT to be messed with if he knew ?
