Trump is such an idiot!!! Indiscriminately telling ALL Federal employees they can quit. Even when we have a shortage and their jobs are a matter of life and death. Fox employees cannot take everyone’s place 🙄[/quote]

Well, i would agree with you if this happened 1 month or even one week from today after a bunch of quits, but this is too recent to say it has anything to do with the OPM resignation; the other argument was that this is a leftover issue from the Biden administration but I don't think its either case so time to move off politics.[/quote]

Nope. It’s Trump’s fault.

He claims credit for good items leftover from Biden and blames Biden for anything that doesn’t go well.

Using Trump’s own “rules,” this is on Trump.

Plus he has been harassing federal employees for the last week. ATCs are federal employees and already in a stressful job. Having the president talk about firing you and your friends only adds to the stress.

Biden signed the bill that increase air traffic and this flight [/quote]

It’s going to be the helicopter’s fault, so let’s figure out why they were there.[/quote]

It’s because of the combination of increased helicopters and traffic in/out of DCA.

Having a training exercise by a major airport at night is insane. The pilot’s mind is going to be focused on the exercise, there is reduced visibility, it’s difficult to see airplane lights admits the city lights, and there are multiple planes to keep an eye on.

Also keep in mind that genetically, we are still apes designed for a slow pace on the ground. Not for travelling hundred of miles an hour in the air. If you look at birds, which are designed to fly in close contact at high speeds while making sharp turns, they have completely different adaptations, including much faster visual processing, better eyesight, 360 degree vision, and senses we don’t even have.

While it may be the helicopter’s “fault”, these accidents come down to bad engineering that didn’t take into account human limitations and human error. No matter what, people will always make mistakes and things need to be engineered to accommodate that. Not push the limits until a catastrophe happens.

We all have made massive mistakes at our own jobs. It’s human. We have limitations. [/quote]
