The hiring shortages and DEI focus on actual hires made and training are still from Biden and his budget.

Critical FAA positions were not laid off under DOGE, but again in December 2024 the FAA had a staffing shortage of 3,000.

Biden left it and offers down the toilet by focusing on DEI.

Hi folks, so I don’t work for Senator Landrieu directly but I am a longtime employee of the state party. Based on our numbers, she has a chance at winning this thing. She is maintaining winning margins in Baton Rouge and New Orleans and is doing well enough as well in some of the closer suburbs. Stay tuned.



Leave it to a filthy piece of shite Democrat to take something like a plane crash and try to use it for political gain. “Never let a crisis go to waste”, right?

I don’t know range of plane or amount of fuel it had, but unless this isn’t as difficult as it seems to a non-pilot like myself I guess flying from MN to Toronto they didn’t have enough fuel once flap issue was discovered to make it anywhere else with better weather conditions.


They would be required to carry 45 minutes reserve fuel or enough reserve fuel to make an alternate airport plus the 45 minute reserve if an alternate was required.

An alternate would be required if the destination airport weather is marginal an hour before or after scheduled arrival.

LINK

I found this video of the actual touchdown, my apologies in advance for it being a TMZ link. It looks like they didn’t flare at all, just slammed into the ground. Not good

Do you normally rush to judgement when you "have no clue"?

Just wait until you see the videos from inside.


For a very brief moment some of these videos might actually be in landscape mode…

Why would you apologize for posting a TMZ link? They always seem to find the footage and break tons of stories. It’s totally relevant to the topic if this thread. If somebody has a problem with it, tell them they can frick right the hell off.

then why did none of this happen under Biden? Mayor Pete is making the fox news idiot Duffy look like a full blown retard in comparison.

DEI was full blown under the Biden years and this shite didn't happen.

I've seen you say this a few times now...I'm not sure you want to talk about what DID happen on Mayor Pete's watch.

What step do you think were taken by Duffy to cause these plane crashes? I have to know.

Do you realize that it’s still operating under Biden’s DEI hires and its employees DEI training?

You really have to be trolling

They were so focused on DEI they could not fill 3,000 positions to fill shortages even with a huge budget increase. Instead of being best available they were looking for identities and certain races to hire and promote first and foremost.


Also, there was at least 154 airplane accidents inside the US during Biden’s presidency.

There was 177 accident involving airplanes registered in the US during same time frame (a lot of cross over between these two so 177 is not in addition to the 154 or vice-versa).

That’s not counting near misses landing or taking off.

Yikes. The CRJ is not a Hornet.

Airline buddy is saying wind shear likely screwed up the flare. Either way this will go down as pilot error and I’m glad nobody died today

They had multiple bad train crashes, maybe Biden and Pete were too busy fricking up train travel?

Blaming any of this on either administration is absurd. This was a private airline landing in Canada

Do you think they clean house of every employee with a new President?

The FAA didn’t go full into DEI until 2023 fiscal year and budget. It went over a year without an official director as Dems could not make time for confirmation process for one.

Guess who was doing the hiring the 4 years prior to Biden??? Also, Trump’s FAA director actual stayed on for around a year or so under Biden unlike Biden’s who announced he would resign in December even with a 3,000 employee shortage.

And there were 154 plane accidents inside the US under Biden along with FAA system crash and a lot near misses including ones at Reagan involving helicopters, but you ignored that number of accidents part of my comment. Why is that?

Pilots identified yet? Didnt flare. Snow probably fricked their depth perception and didnt trust their instruments.

Long runway like they have there and a little plane shouldnt be a huge issue with no flaps
