do we have an update on the condition of all the passengers?


The update I saw yesterday said all injured passengers had been released from the hospital except one. None of the passengers had injuries considered to be life-threatening.

That's what they get for letting the stewardess fly the plane.

IF true, not looking great for male pilot who allegedly didn’t fly much anymore:

She should feel like shite. According to the article, there were 21 people on board that plane and it is just a matter of blind luck that nobody was killed.

She better stick to small prop planes and leave anything bigger than a 6 seat Cessna to more experienced pilots.

Over half are women lol. And most of them will get pregnant in a few years and give up the career.

Come on. You guys have become so predictable and boring. BFD. A female pilot. That means she’s incompetent?
You continue to fulfill the stereotype of
extreme MAGA…less credibility day by day


You mean the upside down airplane, on fire, with nearly 70 people on board says nothing about her competence? You really, really shouldn't be mentioning the credibility of others, since everyone here knows you have none at all.

Why the delay in releasing info?

She wasn't killed. No next of kin delay required.

What could possibly be the common denominator with her and the female VA ANG pilot of the Blackhawk?

Oh, right.

I'd prefer Kristy Swanson.

This article fills in some details. Suggests that her ATP was RENEWED last month, probably issued last year. Also cites possible fatigue for Swanson. Casts shade on male Captain ("failed his try to be FO" at Big Delta):

fully expected the pilot to be a heterosexual white male with 30 years of military experience flying a plane
I agree with the sentiment. With that said I know a guy who is now a Delta pilot who used to be in school to fly f15s and washed out cause he developed a mental block landing them. Did the rest of his 20 years flying transports. Even with all that experience it would give me pause having a pilot who I knew at one point couldn't mentally land a plane in the cockpit of something I was on.

The problem pretty much identifies itself in that pic. And also the reason why we limit driving to 16 years old and up

You have to be able to see over the dashboard, and reach the pedals at the same time
