If you must continue personal beefs from the info thread , please do it here.

Probably should use this thread for the DEI blame game that has already erupted.
 
The only question could be is if the policy change in 2013 for more diverse traffic controller applicants and the disqualification of hundreds of trained applicants - did it end up caused a shortage of folks and overworked controllers. Other policy changes or economic issue could also be the primary result of shortages of staff. I don't know. I don't think anyone would be suggesting a controller or pilot is not qualified, I am sure they were.
ChatGPT

By 2015, reports showed the FAA was falling behind in hiring targets, and by the late 2010s and early 2020s, controller shortages led to staffing-related delays at major airports. The situation worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted hiring even further.

So, while the loss of those 1,000 applicants wasn’t the sole cause of the shortage, it was part of a broader pattern of hiring and training challenges that contributed to staffing shortfalls in the years that followed
 
Just a quick point of clarification - this does not appear, thus far, to be an air traffic controller issue. The helicopter pilot was informed about the plane.

DC plane crash air traffic control audio reveals moment controllers saw disaster: 'Tower did you see that?'

Air Traffic Control (ATC) audio from Wednesday’s collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet reveals the moments before and after controllers witnessed the disaster unfold.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

The AA pilot confirms he can take Runway 33 and is clear to land the aircraft, a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet, referred to as "CRJ."

The controller then instructs the helicopter, an Army UH-60 helicopter Sikorsky UH-60 helicopter, referred to as "PAT25," to pass behind the jet.

"PAT25, do you have the CRJ in sight? PAT 25 pass behind the CRJ," the controller says.

No response is heard on the ATC audio feed. Fox News has learned that the helicopter did respond, but on a different frequency, a frequency for helicopters.

I don’t know. I think I will pop to the other thread to find out.
 
I almost feel like you're better off making the new one the non-beefing thread and leaving the original the beefing thread. Seems like some folks just don't get it no matter how nicely you ask.

That you are telling folks that I have anger issues is incredibly ironic. Between the two us, only you have broken your hand punching a wall, after posting/reading this site. Whether knowingly or not, you are one of the bigger trolls on this site. Your needlessly long posts asserting things as facts, only to go back and shift the goal posts when folks point out the fallacies in your comments, so as to try to save face, are only topped by your subsequent "woe is me" threads where you try to play the victim of verbal abuse.

If folks care enough, they can read the thread where I, and others, were pointing out issues with the basketball team, HD, and staff, just like they can go read my response to you regarding your comments about Belichick. They will not see someone with anger issues. They can, also, find the numerous threads that you derail and create, forming their opinion of you. I have already. You are a troll.

(And yes, I do recognize the bait you've put down in your posts to me and Snoop. And, that is why, this will be my last response to you on this topic. I hope you enjoy your follow-up troll attempts.)
 


What evidence have you seen to support these claims?

Trump: “It just could have been. We have a high standard, we’ve had a much higher standard than anybody else, and there are things where you have to go by brain power, you have to go by psychological, uhh, quality and psychological quality of a very important element but uh these are various very powerful tests that we put to use and they were terminated by Biden and Biden went by a standard that’s the exact opposite.

So we don’t know but we do know that uh you had two planes at the same level a helicopter and a plane and that shouldn’t have happened. And we’ll see, we’re gonna look into that and we’ll see but uhh certainly for an air traffic controller we want the brightest the sharpest the smartest, we want somebody that’s psychologically uh superior and that’s what we’re going to have.”
