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]

I hope this is not the case, if so, air travel will be in question for a very long time in the future. I had a very unfortunate incident on a recent flight into BNA that left me with great pause in my mind about our current ATC and its’s standards. Prayers for the victims and their families, and for the country [/quote]

We are short 1,000 ATC. It is one, if not, the most stressful jobs in the world with high burnout, suicide rates, etc.  And then we pile on them this month and threaten them and send them emails that we are going to can them.

Do you know how many training hours are required for the job and we have not had a SINGLE crash in over two decades..but lets blame this on the Feds, the ATC.  Stupid Fs[/quote]

Trust in govt is at an all-time low.  We can see the helicopter slam directly into the side of the aircraft. We can hear the ATC communication.  We can see AA and safety board saying plane was on correct path, correct altitude, etc.  Yet----we already can see the cover-up beginning...[/quote]
