➡️ January 20: FAA director fired

➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen

➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded

➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees 

➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years 

➡️ January 30: Donald Trump signs  EO blaming the crash on DEI 

 

Shameful you say?

No it's shameful to ignore all this.

None of these decisions played a part in the tragedy, but I wanted talk about disbanding the ASAC.  That's an important group who contributed many safety advancements in flight since it was created in 1989.  I haven't seen or heard any reason why this was done.  

Quote

 

ASAC is with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The advisory committee was established in 1989 following a terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103 the year prior. ASAC counsels the TSA on aviation security, and many of its recommendations have been adopted over the past 35 years. Stakeholder groups represented in the committee include airlines, aviation worker unions, airport operators, and more.

On January 21, ASAC members received a memo stating that their memberships had been terminated, according to the Associated Press. While the advisory committee itself will remain, there will no longer be members to conduct its work, making it defunct. The reasoning for scraping the members was allegedly explained as a “commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security.”

ATC hiring is not frozen.

100 officials were not fired.

Safety advisory committee was not disbanded. This has been a concerted misinformation campaign. Take the AP story. In the headline they call it a safety committee. In the story they refer to it by its proper name. It was a committee formed after pan am flight 103 and has nothing to do with flight path coordination or anything involved in this crash. Unless you think this was terrorism.

From former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh:

As bodies were still being pulled from the water, he began casting blame. As families mourned, he blamed black people & brown people for the crash.

Ugly. Disgusting. Racist. Pathetic. Monstrous.

Democrats, wake the f***k up. You all sound like politicians responding to him. F***k that. Respond to him like a human being. A human being with genuine outrage, disgust and righteous anger.

As usual you’re complaining about this but you’re only attacking those you disagree with, because you reek of hypocrisy. This should not be a political issue. Trump made it so. His supporters here have chosen to repeat his bullcrap. I’m responding to them because that’s where the discussion has gone. I didn’t take it there. 

Again, No.  My first post on this asked ALL OF YOU to keep your racism and politics out of this thread.  Contrary to your beliefs, much like every other topic, this isn't all about you.  I told you you wouldn't get it and I was right.

The Blackhawk helicopter was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200 foot limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???

Transgender pilot Jo Ellis is rumored to have been involved in the American Airlines flight and Black Hawk collision - The Express Tribune

Seems to be a nasty rumor for now. If so, shame on the Tribune

LOTS of rumours swirling on this hellsite claiming the pilot of the Blackhawk helicopter involved in Wednesday's tragic crash was Jo Ellis, a transgender woman (because that's all these people want to be true)

The rumours are FALSE. Here's Ellis' FB post from this morning: (at link)

So, as in all crashes we look for the black box, the DEI box.  Why not a rainbow box?  Black is so last generation.  And frankly wouldn't a bright rainbow colored box be easier to spot in wreckage.

Black Hawk has to change. We need it to be Rainbow Peacock so all our enemies know we are serious about DEI.

To the rightwing lunatics spreading a false rumor that Transgender pilot Jo Ellis was the pilot in the Washington DC crash, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Ellis just released the statement. (video clip at link)

Funny thing is your board name comes from Bobby knight.  Same guy that choked a player, threw a chair at someone and said if rape is inevitable why not sit back and enjoy it.  Talk about insane fanboy love.

That's your difference?  You can support rape because he coaches basketball but voting for Trump is your line?

Trump and his minions just keep looking more and more hateful, more and more stupid, and I think all Americans that voted for this are realizing they made a big mistake.

Trump runs the country and makes decisions that shape my life and impact the future. He speaks for the country on the world stage. 

The other guy blows a whistle and screams at basketball players to set screens.

I would not vote for Bobby Knight to be dog catcher. Well maybe when I was 12 😂

You don’t understand the difference in importance between a basketball coach and a US President?

Every school shooting the past few years the right has gone crazy trying to make the case the shooter was transgender.

They are right now, with bodies still trapped in the water, scouring the internet doing everything they can to show that a woman, a black or the holy grail would be a transgender had ANYTHING to do with this tragic accident.

Talk about depravity. :doh:

Stupid is the inability to answer a simple yes or no question. That's you.

I am willing to answer questions, folks like you just won't ask me. You're too scared of being challenged due to intellectual failings, so you revert to direct attacks and whataboutisms. I've read your posts. That's all you do, pile on like the schoolyard bully that flunked 3rd grade twice. Never an original or interesting thought. Prove me wrong and I'll admit I'm wrong. But you can't.

Stupid is the inability to recognize the difference in ability and willingness.  That's you.  I have no interest in playing your stupid games.  Are you a rape supporter like General?
