[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]

Probably isn’t a 20 yr track record.  Hegseth initially said the crew of
Helicopter was a young captain, Warren office, and staff Sargent. The staff Sargent and chief warrant officer have been named.  That leaves a female “young captain” with 500 flying hrs. Given rank and flying hours, that is probably 2-3 yrs out of flight school[/quote]

So what. Show her track record of success in high school, college, work, military, etc.  We already see some of it for the other two crew members.

You don’t get in a trainer jet program and then heavy helo by being bottom 75% of your class in any country’s flight program. [/quote]
