So she was a Biden White House “social aide” and then became a pilot in record time. DEI written all over this tbh.
Political favors.

I’d love to know the timeline.
Social aide in the White House
ROTC
Pilot school

Both of these posts are yours, quoted in the order in which you posted them.
You reached a conclusion based on two untrue premises.
Then you post that you don't know the facts surrounding the very premises on which you based your previous conclusion.
I'm not even going to be nice about it anymore. Some of y'all are just plain ol' dumb motherfrickers.
She went through ROTC and commissioned during the Trump administration. She almost certainly completed rotary wing flight training by 2019 or early 2020 and has been serving in that role since.
She did not "become a pilot in record time," nor was she a WH aide prior to becoming a pilot.

Wasn't this a training flight? Wasn't her superior on comms and confirmed visuals of the aircraft they were supposed to avoid? Sounds like he was the DEI hire.

I like this post. It shows that you’re a troll.

yeah, blame someone else when the last seconds she made a 35 degree turn and changed altitude. I'm not even saying he wasn't a dei hire....it is what the Biden Admin believed in. The best didn't matter, it was all about DEI, regardless if public safety was impacted or not. It was worth the risk to them. What do you think Harris was?

I agree. This who modern day "men and women are the same" is the single worst thing that came with modernity.

2. Please provide documented evidence that a male helicopter pilot would not have had this type of accident because they are male.
This isn’t a valid challenge, because it cannot be proved even if it is true.

As a former Military guy I disagree with this, there is a place for women in the Military. It just isn't in combat roles, imo. Nurse, Admin, clerical, stress reliever, etc.

Almost certainly?
Correct. "Almost certainly" means "I'm not going to state it as fact, because I don't know with 100% certainty, but the information we have is that 'she served as an aviation officer from 2019-2025', which could mean she was fully qualified by 2019 OR they use the term 'aviation officer' while they're still in flight training."
Any other attempted gotchas?
Posted on 2/1/25 at 9:09 pm to Longhorn Actual
I don't care if it was 2018 when she qualified...she had 500 HOURS.....500

she had 500 HOURS.
Over a seven year period that's about 71 hours per year. That's not much flying time I'd think.

reviewing 18 pages of comments I offer the following
I was in rotc during the Viet nam war and it provided no useful skill
comment was made that helo flights were 2-3 hours logged
she had 450 hours flight time after 6 years
which means 150 flight in 6 years ,,, about 30 flights per year
ratio of daylite flights to night time could be 4-1
comes up to less than 1 night time flight every other month
that is not a lot of experience to be flying at 150 mph 200 feet above ground at night in the most congested air space in the US
I blame not the pilot , the management needs to be put in hell

I'm not a rotary wing pilot in the United States Army (and I'm guessing you aren't either), so I don't have an opinion on that. However...

The co-pilot had 500 flying hours, which is considered a "normal" amount of experience.

This is a fascinating rebuttal, given the context in which it was offered. I don't expect you to see it, but mercy...

From some of the stuff I have seen posted by military members, she was probably fairly experienced as far as an Army pilot goes. They don't fly nearly as much as commercial.
Not saying that's how it should be. That's just how it is currently.

1) you’re clearly not a veteran
2) your source is the fricking Atlantic
3) that bullshite story has been debunked over and over
But since you’re a vet, tell us how you feel about the withdrawal from Afghanistan?
Tell us how you feel about Benghazi?
