re: Trump EVISCERATED the FAA, and blamed their incompetence on their DEI practices

Is that what caused the crash?
ATC told the helo a plane was in their flight path
The helo (while training the pilot) requested permission to use their own visual clearance to avoid the aircraft
ATC granted it. Later ATC noticed they continued toward the aircraft. They once again asked if they were in visual contact, and also told them to fly behind the aircraft. The helo confirmed, and again requested their own visual guidance. It was granted a 2nd time
13 sec later the helo flew into the plane

While I hate DEI policies, he shouldn't have gone on that rant without the investigation being complete. This very well could have been the helicopter pilot's fault or the ATC running that might have been a white dude with 20 years of experience that just fricked up. Placing the blame on BootyJuice was a little premature.

This is what people don't understand. Even if it was a 20yr white dude that screwed up DEI could have a hand in it.
Every $ and hour spent on DEI could have been used to improve training or reviewing that 20yr white dude's performance. Instead of having DEI seminars and job fairs the leadership could have been reviewing policies or see if that 20 yr white dude was being overworked and needed help.
Just being preoccupied with DEI is the problem. When you focus on DEI you lose track of what is truly important. DEI lowers the organization's performance.

Well said indeed.

There have now been numerous close calls at airports. One in Austin a couple of years ago when a Southwest 737 was cleared for takeoff when a FedeX plane was on final. Listen to that audio and try to figure out who the incompetent controller was. There have been other incidents at Austin. That's in part what Trump alluded to today. He wants the best and brightest and most capable as controllers. It takes a certain type of mind to do that job.

The investigation is complete (data has been analyzed. ATC has been questioned, videos have been reviewed, orders have been tracked, personnel have been identified)
All they are doing now is fighting to see who gets thrown under the bus. And with Trump as prez, they know he will call them out of they are shading the truth
And it looks like Trump knows the tower was undermanned. He knows the tower likely should not have released the helo a 2nd time to do their own visual guidance, and that the trainee helo pilot wasnt following known protocol in staying to one side of the river, and below 400 ft. Which obviously ATC didnt enforce to them either

Isn't that the same thing that was posted last year by Musk, and then it was revealed it's the same job posting the FAA has used since 2013?

He is being presidential, just not in the way that you like. He's being presidential by speaking truth. He's not going to accept the blame for idiotic policies enacted by the former regime, and he shouldn't. It's not his issue to own, but he will fix it. Just like the water situation in California. Just like the border/immigration crisis. Just like the pointless wars.

Captain Marvin was a notorious failure. No reason to blame a chick for that one.

You already got props for this statement... but wanted to give you more as this is a PERFECT summation of the problem of DEI no matter the sex, race or disability of the responsible parties involved.

I’m not sure how DEI came up in conversation. If it was organic, that might be more understandable. If it’s simply to blame the crash on it, it’s not a good look.

Yes. At a minimum it was a strong influence. Even if no DEI hire was directly involved in this incident the DEI policies are to blame. Instead of focusing on performance, safety and reviewing policy and procedures to improve safety they were focused on DEI at any cost. The cost was the poor souls on those aircraft.
How so? Has the id of the ATC involved been revealed? The identity of the military training pilot is not under the purview of the FAA.
Not wanting to confuse Pete B. with military leadership.

Was the tower understaffed?
Did ATC turn down qualified applicants because they were white? Are current controllers overworked due to staffing issues? Are the number of near misses up or down? Did the ATC change their recruiting and qualifications to meet diversity targets?
How many more questions would you like to get on this?
