Reaves was apparently the pilot:

"Andrew was a kind, loving, fun-loving and patriotic man," Eaves' family said in a statement. "He loved his wife and kids fiercely and would have done anything to take care of them. He was a great son and loved his mom and brother dearly. He was an absolute joy to be around and would light up every room he entered, and was always the life of the party. He was a true all-American hero, and will be deeply missed by anyone lucky enough to have known him."

Deranged MAGAs on X were trying to claim the pilot was "a DEI hire" and "a transwoman" - yet the pilot was straight, white, male and married.
MAGAs are out of control with their incessant lying. MAGAs suck.
We still don’t know who the helicopter pilot was. We only have two names from the helicopter.

Both sides in this debate are engaging in political attacks instead of admitting and focussing on the true cause of the crash- a tragic accident that, was obscenely preventable, had Air Traffic controllers who have been turning whistleblower for YEARS about under staffing had been listened to.
This Front Page NYT article bringing Air Traffic Controller's concerns to front page for all Americans to READ was published about a YEAR before the accident: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/02/business/air-traffic-controllers-safety.html
DEI preferences is not the reason that the USA is short about 50,000 trained pilots as well as tens of thousands of Air Traffic controllers- we simply do not train , recruit and retain enough to meet demand.
Corporate GREED in the Airline industry is another factor: pay your pilots well and you retain the best and then the best train the new hires.
America has allowed itself, courtesy of our corrupt Congress, to short shift every aspect of our bridges, ports, and air traffic all the while caving to corporate demands. Just look at the disaster at Bowing- because they sidelined their Engineers.
Fix that and stop Bickering with each other

Yup. Not only straight, white, male and married but southern (Mississippi) and probably a Christian and Trump supporter too.

The odds are high that these guys voted for Trump.
But it was absolutely shameful for Trump to make the disparaging remarks he did when the news was breaking or at his press conference. This is the worst kind of crisis leadership imaginable and horrendously disrespectful to the families of the people who died.

He keeps going after Buttigieg. Like the crash happened on Trump’s watch. STFU. It’s your problem now, Mr I’m going to fire the federal workforce who include air traffic controllers.

Because it was. Like "defund the police" which once literally meant closing down police departments but eventually became moving a few dollars from police budgets to social services, DEI is going from from "equality of outcome" to "searching for talent in places where we usually don't look."

We do. He’s a MAGA reality tv nitwit, just like Trump.
Sean Duffy is not a nitwit. He's probably one of the most level-headed people in the new administration. His wife, however, I may feel differently.
While this may be a true statement, the bar is very, very low.
