You’re just reflexively posting bullshite. You have been for about a year. Good luck.

We were forced to provide OJT to trainees who had no business making it through the screening process during the Obama years. There was a fair amount of DEI stuff going on, as federal jobs were seen as a jobs program. It wasted valuable training hours that could’ve been used on trainees with real potential.

Not defending the copter because they cleary screwed up. But didn't the black box from the Helicopter show they were at 201' and not as high as the ATC (less accurate) instruments said?

Putting aside the qualifications of the helicopter pilot, Trump was absolutely correct in his comments about DEI playing a part in this accident.
At the very minimum, the understaffed ATC Tower that night at Reagan National Airport contributed to this collision:

I'm one of the few on this board posting any solid evidence (elevation readings) from the crash so you lie.
Youre extremely defensive.

I wonder if they had altimeter barometric pressure set incorrectly? I guess in a few months we will know.

You identified all the contributing factors? No you haven't.
The most glaring omission is the ATC tower was understaffed.
And this is a direct result of the FAA’s myopic focus on diversity instead of merit.
Critics have indeed long warned that the FAA was opening itself up to catastrophic failure by pursuing this agenda:

You’re just posting against the DEi talking point because Trump said it.
Who’s defensive?

I listened and initially agreed with you but now wonder why the ATV didn’t tell Heli pilot to drop altitude?
ATC wasn't specific enough about the air traffic which may have cause the helo pilot to ignore the landing jet.

Yeah, I figure its going to be a combination of human errors. Most are.

You’re in a thread about DEI.
Has anyone close to you spoken to you about your fading mental clarity?

Yeah. I saw it from the beginning.
Do you think they’ll find staffing of the ATCT will have any contribution to the accident? I’m betting they do.
What talking point will you enjoin to avoid that assessment ?
