[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The female pilot is believed to have been commanding the helicopter, her name is being intentionally withheld

Per family request.[/quote]

They are no doubt worried about death threats and other violence.[/quote]

I'm a female pilot. Given the tone from our government leaders and the witch hunts taking place online ... if I were involved in an accident, knowing I'd likely be the only female crew member from either airplane, I would want my family protected from the media as long as possible. I don't blame them for trying to shield her memory and reputation until more is known about the actual events of the crash. [/quote]

That’s a superficial response.

You withhold information when yours covering something up or hiding something. They can go hang out at a mountain house and let the name come out.

The pilot Bo doubt has a stellar education, background, top of their class, best training and track record of success. Otherwise how would you continually get to the point where you’re flying a $6m helicopter. [/quote]

It’s a rationed response. Unfortunately the president doesn’t see that she was as qualified or more so than the men, which is unfortunately why we’re here. [/quote]

Then shut it down and show her 20 year track record. Put some peer side by sides there too. [/quote]

Maybe her family just doesn't want to deal with this kind of witch hunt while they are grieving. Her record will be known to the military and the NTSB, which is enough.

Families of the male pilots chose to make their names public. That's their choice, and understandable since people don't immediately start screaming demands to see a "20 year track record" when they hear a male name - there's a unstated assumption that he's qualified, nobody questions it. People don't give the female pilot that benefit of doubt. [/quote]

Stop conflating things.

Deliberately hiding information when 70 died in a horrific accident is a bad look. Period. [/quote]
