So they sabotaged it?  I doubt that very much.  I have a higher opinion of FAA employees than you do.[/quote]

Not sabotage. Stress.

Remember that one of Trump’s people said their goal was to “traumatize federal employees.”  [/quote]

Was this actually an ATC error? I thought it was mainly the helicopter error.[/quote]

No one knows yet. [/quote]

To me, it does look like some element of ATC error.  It clearly was not communicating to both the helicopter and the airplane that they were headed straight for each other and need to take action.  [/quote]

How do they normally communicate and ID which plane is which to the military pilots?

Doesn’t everyone have radar? It’s not like. None knew where approaching planes were trying to go. They were going to one of two landing strips to land. One is N/S other is slight angle NW/SE. 
This wasn’t some mid-air military exercise where you don’t know what the other guy is doing. They’re landing the damn passenger jet on the damn runway at the damn airport, the one you’re flying right by! [/quote]
