[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think it’s odd all of the female pilot’s social media was completely scrubbed. But also her siblings and her parents. [/quote]

Why? It’s the first thing I would do. [/quote]

Because the other pilots and crew involved were released immediately, either willingly or not, I don’t know.  They didn’t take extreme time and measures to erase all traces of them the public could potentially judge.  And when you are involved in killing a bunch of people, the public will judge. By them not allowing military to release her name and then scrubbing all traces of narrative about her except what they explicitly publish, it seems like something is being hidden she would be judged harshly for- beyond her gender alone [/quote]

Rebecca as a Captain outranked the copilot, how does that factor in to decision making?[/quote]

It may have.

NVGs likely were a factor.

That the plane saw the BH at the last second and tried to evade is sad.

ATC could have been more explicit.[/quote]

NVGs have been used for decades without this ever happening before now. Helicopters and planes don’t crash into each other weekly, monthly, daily. Stop making up excuses. ATC has been using the same commands and language for decade, as have pilots - this wasn’t invented yesterday.

The issue lies with the three in that helicopter. Full stop. The combination of those three individuals is the variable. That plane route was regular and common and the runways were not new.

Were they paying attention? Were they jacking around? ATC was directing dozens of planes all night without issue.

Helicopter behavior on the night in question is the issue here. [/quote]

You don't know that.

You don't have all of the informaton. 
[/quote]

We know the helicopter flew outside their route and well above their allowed altitude. We know that to them into the path of a landing airplane, when they were told by ATC to wait until it passed before proceeding.

We know the helicopter's behavior caused this. [b]We just don't know [/b]why they did it.[/quote]

You just don't know, period. 
[/quote]

There's a lot we do know. Why are you ignoring that?[/quote]

That PP wants to argue that ATC is full of DEI hires [/quote]

FAA is more than 70% male and 70% white.  [/quote]

What are the names, CV, races and genders of the 3 on duty that night at Reagan? You had a supervisor, an ATC, and an ATC who the supe let go home early.[/quote]

what were the names races and genders of the people who decided that it is appropriate to have training flights there at all?
[/quote]

Because if we just know the names, races and genders of everyone involved we can get this entire investigation wrapped up. [/quote]
