[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s ridiculous fixating on/bickering about the individual pilots and their qualifications. Ridiculous. Incidents like this are a failure of process and policy, not of individual people. You can never rely on people to have perfect judgment or experience.

Processes must account for that. Period. If it was possible for this to happen “by accident” then that’s not OK and multiple major changes need to be made.

With the enormity of this tragedy, try gaining some perspective and realize these petty fights are not worth having.

In my experience in school and working 25 years, it’s the poor performers who cut processes and corners. Sometimes they get caught, many times not.

The processes already accounted for that.

The helo rammed the jet after multiple failsafes. [/quote]

you’re thinking too small. There are many more processes surrounding this - flight paths, pilot training and review guidelines, air traffic control, etc etc.[/quote]

We know.

And guess what?!

Despite all that thought, planning, work, comms, technology, teamwork, decades of it working out, processes and systems at the military, ATC, American Airlines and DCA….   ….on game day if someone at the flight controls goes rogue for whatever reason, it doesn’t matter.

Going from 200 ft altitude to 350 ft whilst turning right at the same speed will hit the damn jet that’s 5 seconds from landing.

No matter what systems and processes there were. Or do we want hacked AI flying Blackhawk’s now? [/quote]
