What are they? High pressure piloting black hawks?[/quote]

You probably shouldn't bother looking up her credentials because you'll just get jealous of how smart she was and all the awards she won from the miliary.

Just stay in your little bubble where it's safe.

Yes, who wouldn't be jealous of a woman pilot who died in a highly suspicious fatal accident in which her helicopter navigated directly into a clearly visible jet plane for 25 seconds until crashing into it and killing 64 innocent people?  We don't know her role yet versus the male pilot until we get the cockpit voice recorder of course.  This is crazy, she piloted a helicopter that at best negligently killed 64 people including a bunch of 13 yr old figure skaters, there's no hero here ladies and gents.[/quote]

It was a terrible accident that was waiting to happen. A similar crash almost occurred less than 24 hours before. Who was piloting that helicopter? Sounds like this could have happened to any pilot and this one just happened to be a woman. [/quote]

The pilot forum I was reading was not at all surprised that this happened. They were more suprised that it hadn't happened sooner, felt that everyone knew this was an accident waiting to happen, and were mostly grateful it wasn't them as it could have been any flight. The ones who fly DCA often were not angry at the helicopter or ATC but at so much traffic being allowed to use DCA and the amount of helicopter traffic in the area over the last few years. They place all the blame on the decision makers who they feel created a very unsafe air space. They all accept human error can happen and does happen and it is the job of decision makers to create safe air spaces so that minor human errors don't lead to catastrophic failures. [/quote]

Seems logical. I’m very skeptical the government will make a lasting course-correction here though.

Easy one is no path intersections when route 33 has an imminent landing. Hold back or circle Hains point, if night go after 11pm when DCA is less busy, only managing delayed flights landing. [/quote]
