Some items on this guy without any context from heavy

Most tweets are about airline labor issues especially in 20-21
quote:

“The future of air travel remains highly depressed. Immediate relief for the #airline industry is critical @SpeakerPelosi, @SenateMajLdr, @RepDeSaulnier, and @WhiteHouse to support our economic rebuilding. Don’t let our voices go unheard!” he tweeted in December 2020.

He also tweeted that month, “My fellow @WeAreALPA pilots and I need @SpeakerPelosi, @SenateMajLdr, @SenKamalaHarris, and the @WhiteHouse to provide relief for the #aviation industry. The livelihoods of tens of thousands of hardworking Americans are in your hands. #ExtendPSP now!”

Emerson wrote, “The U.S. #airline industry and its pilots are essential to the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine. Congress and government leaders must #ExtendPSP now to ensure critical infrastructure is in place to distribute a vaccine—American lives depend on it @SenKamalaHarris.”


FB - context is needed for below
quote:

“Incitement to riot is when a person encourages others to commit a breach of the peace without necessarily acting themselves. This may involve statements, signs, or conduct intended to lead others to riot. I have been silent for too long. This is wrong!” he wrote in 2021.

Emerson also shared a Sports Illustrated story titled, “Mr. President: You Represent All of Us. Don’t Divide Us. Bring Us Together,” about the Warriors’ White House invite being rescinded by President Trump

My guess is because the crew needs access to them in case the engines are on fire, but I'm no pilot.

You guessed well, though.

What ever came from the investigation of Atlas Air 3591?


Here is a good read on the crash:

Legacy of a Lie

The most disturbing part is when he failed his 767 type rating they included the following comment:

"When confronted with something unexpected, he would panic and start pushing the wrong buttons."

Previous airline employer confirmed:

"When faced with an unexpected event, he would start pressing random buttons in order to feel like he was doing something."

He should have been permanently banned from flying any aircraft.

What does attempted pilot suicide of a white male pilot that’s 44 years old have to do with the woke movement?


He was bald. Bald people only have jobs because of woke politics. If you can’t even grow hair, how can you be expected to be a productive member of society.

I just came here to laugh at all the people early in this thread who posted that the attempted murderer/hijacker’s name must be ‘Abdul Allah Something’ and instead it’s Dave Emerson .

What's crazy and lucky about this incident is this dude decided to pull this move while he was a passenger instead of the pilot at the controls. A German pilot recently nosedived a commercial airliner while the Captain took a bathroom break. And that's not suicide, it's mass murder. These people want to take out a plane full of innocents with them.


That Germanwings Flight 9525 crash scares the shite out of me everytime I think about it. Imagine sitting upfront and having a pilot knocking on the cockpit door desperately trying to get in. That slow and agonizing realization before the crash must have been excruciating. Just the panic setting in is horrifying.

Beheaded pilot is usually the effect, not the cause

Same here. I thought about that crash often as I was flying a lot through Europe when it happened. It had to be terrible for the passengers as they would have known what was happening.
