Thanks for the laugh

Let’s vote. How many people think the investigation will focus only on DEI hires in ATC?

I doubt we will know what happened last night. Only that DEI is too blame.

Do you have a link to the interview?

On Reddit, the helicopter was noted as being above or at an address in McLean just outside Langley HQ.

Saud royalty, from what I’ve heard locally

Does this make any sense??? Why would Saudi royalty be going to Langley from fort b?

They weren't. It's a stupid rabbit hole conspiracy theory. The Helo originated from Langley, but didn't turn on their transponder until they were a bit away from Langley, and they just happened to be flying over/near the Saudi embassy when they turned the transponder on. This caused the tinfoil hat folks to think that the Helo landed and took off in the back yard of the embassy, which is not even big enough to accommodate that.

The idea that a helicopter took off from some backyard in McLean and not a single busybody posted the footage complaining on Nextdoor is unfathomable.

I would not think parents of pilots or FAs necessarily know what flight they are on.

Pilots and flight attendants fly the same routes over and over, no?

Sounds great.

And more cancer due to PFAS in our water.

And more TB.

Can't have it both ways.

Of course, he knows the economy would suffer if people stopped flying or reduced flying. And he doesn't want that....

Yep. And he blamed Obama and Biden but forgot to mention himself in the middle as part of the problem…

You heard from Fox or maybe one of the MAGA nuts?

It is clearly a male voice from the radio.

Couldn't the person talking not have been the one flying the helicopter? There were three soldiers on the helicopter. This makes sense with Trump's DEI statements. Hegseth said in his statement that they know the identities of the soldiers on board. And, of course, this would play perfectly into Hegseth's claims that the military has gone to shit under Biden because it's no longer the best and brightest being promoted, etc., it's all based on DEI. He also claims that, under Biden, there's not enough time for military training in the field, etc. because they all had to constantly do DEI, sexual assault, etc. training. I REALLY hope the PP is wrong that the pilot of the helicopter was a woman, but I'm afraid that may be the case.

Do you not Nazi how you are playing directly into Nazi rhetoric?

Trump filled the government with grossly unqualified insane people, and you "REALLY hope" non-WhiteMen don't exist, because any one that does exist will be blamed for anything that goes wrong?

THIS IS HOW GENOCIDES LAUNCH

Um, no I'm not. You are not very good at reading comprehension. I hope it wasn't a woman flying the helicopter because Trump and Hegseth will point to that as "evidence" that women and other DEI candidates in the military shouldn't be there. I don't agree with that, but that's how they will twist that fact to further their agenda. Do you understand now?

So any time a woman screws up something (50% of the population) or a POC screws up (40%+ of the population) it's automatically because of "DEI"?

What a logical fallacy.

Does anyone know who was piloting the F35 that stalled out last weekend in Alaska? Was it a DEI pilot?
https://apnews.com/article/f35-air-force-jet-crashes-alaska-b85f19849361ddb3882cdc551f5d0f1d

Women do not make up 50% of military helicopter pilots or anywhere even close to that. But, in any event, as a PP explained, there's a perception that the standards for flying/ATC have been lowered for women/non-white folks and that this has made flying less safe. Again, I am not saying this is true, but it's the claim of Trump/Hegseth + supporters. I'm not sure why you keep getting so angry when I've made clear I don't agree with this claim. It's not my argument, it's Hegseth's. So get mad at him.

Simple.

Pull the qualifications, experience and training from pilots 15-20 years ago and compare them to the last 0-7 years ago.

Who are we putting in the cockpit nowadays?

Are you suggesting we need more wars to improve domestic aviation safety?

Sometimes, but less so with the regional jet flights that are only 2-3 hours.

Yes. The full address of the house is on Reddit. I did not see a screen grab from flight trackers that looks legit so I am not sure…

It is so painful to think that this time yesterday they were all still alive.

Those poor, poor families.

The doomed plane had already landed at DCA twice THAT DAY.

The concensus of this address, which does indeed belong to a Saudi affiliate, is that all helicopters turn off their transponders when in/near CIA (for privacy and security reasons). They then turn them back on when they've left the property, which could be variable given their flight path and if they're going by mileage or time or their own judgement. So what is most likely is that their transponder started recording again over this residence. Not that they took off from it.

There were 64 VIPs on board to their family and friends.
