Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers that threatened to strike, tax. Pre DEI. Were you outraged then?

Got a Ph.D in air traffic control? Fuck off you privileged white boy, we dont need you, we need more black gay cripples with mental health problems and an IQ of minus 10.


My neice is in HR, works for a big company in the city of London. Easy gig, work from home mostly, good pay and benefits. The things she tells me are frightening. She is forced to reject brilliantly qualified applicants

You’re comparing your niece’s “ frightening” experience of hiring practices at her “ big company in London” to the FAA’s requirements for air traffic controllers?
One of my best friends was an air traffic controller at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport, for 28 years, the last 15 were as an operations supervisor. According to him, while DEI plays a role in hiring, the applicant still has to meet the requirements.

While we’re on the subject of hiring practices, you seem like an ideal applicant for the new Trump administration.

I pray trump can destroy these verminous parasites. The tide is turning.

That sounds like sour grapes. With character like that ​no wonder he didn’t get the job!

The woke media won't tell you this, but the pilot's identity and background has been leaked online to alternative news sources.





Turns out the helo pilot was actually a bulldog, hired on a DEI mandate, with insufficient hours and a history of ruff landings.

Woof woof!

Comments like this prove you to be an idiot.

Wise words matebollocks tax. Fook off

So, a DEI hire with no merit for the job = bad.

Someone hired on merit, but overworked and underpaid in a highly stressful job = good.

You're a weirdo.

I wonder if he'll go with Sean Hannity or Judge Jeanine.

Female Pilot in Crash Trump Blamed on DEI Was Top 20% Army Cadet

The brilliant Army career of the female helicopter pilot killed in the Washington D.C. plane crash—which Donald Trump blamed on “DEI”—has been revealed.


Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, a native of Durham, North Carolina, was identified late Saturday by the U.S. Army’s Public Affairs office despite a previous request from her family to withhold her identity.

She had been in the top 20 per cent of Army ROTC cadets nationwide and picked for a prestigious role as a White House social aide. Her awards include the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal and Army Service Ribbon.

Her distinguished career was at apparent odds with President Donald Trump suggesting that DEI hiring practices could have been to blame for the mid-air collision. He was backed up by his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who had railed against “women in combat roles” before a sudden conversion to praising their service ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing.


Her family said in a statement that she had planned to pursue a career as a physician. Both her parents are doctors.


Lobach, who began her career as an aviation officer with the Army in July 2019, was one of the 67 people who died earlier this week when the Black Hawk helicopter she was co-piloting collided with an American Airlines jet coming in to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, causing both aircraft to plummet into the Potomac River.


Despite an earlier request for anonymity, the Army reported that they were sharing Lobach’s name “at the request of and in coordination with the family,” who also provided an official statement. It read, in part: “Rebecca began her career in the United States Army as a distinguished military graduate in ROTC at the University of North Carolina, and was in the top 20 percent of cadets nationwide.

“She achieved the rank of Captain, having twice served as a Platoon Leader and as a Company Executive Officer… With more than 450 hours of flight time, she earned certification as a pilot-in-command after extensive testing by the most senior and experienced pilots in her battalion.”


Lobach also served as a White House social aide during the Biden administration.

Military news site Task & Purpose spoke with several of Lobach’s friends and colleagues, who described her as a uniquely talented pilot.


“She was passionate about leadership, passionate about mentorship, and passionate about being a master of her skill craft,” 2nd Lt. Lexi Freas said. “Everything she did, she put 100 percent of her heart and effort into. No task was too big or too little for her to handle for her soldiers and the people that she mentored and loved.”


“It just rips my heart out that she is gone, violently and publicly,” 1st Lt. Samantha Brown said. “It is a colossal loss of human life. My heart goes to everyone impacted. It is absolutely terrible.”

When it was later discovered that one of the helicopter pilots was female, MAGA activists and online agitators began pointing the finger specifically in Lobach’s direction—even before she was identified, and even though the investigation is ongoing and no official cause has been determined.


The president has made no public comment since Lobach’s name was released.


The other two members of the helicopter crew had been named by the Army as Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, 39, of Great Mills, Maryland and Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Georgia.

Female Pilot in Crash Trump Blames on DEI Was in Top 20% of Army

what an amazing woman. Rip

^Indeed RIP to all those that perished, many were quite young and had promising futures.

No one yet knows the cause of the accident, but I was listening to a youtube video of pilots analyzing the crash and they said that there were four other planes lined up behind the one coming into the airport not far apart, and air traffic controllers said to the black hawk, "do you have visual on the plane? And they said yes, three times that they saw the plane and were going to distance from it, but the pilots analyzing the crash said that they may have been looking at the wrong plane and totally missed seeing the plane they crashed into. It may be a bit of pilot error and the air traffic controllers fault that kept saying do you have eyes on the plane.

Take that back!

In Trump's press conference he made a fool of himself, blaming DEI and dwarfs. He has no empathy and it is very sad for the families.

Anyone see Jimmy Kimmel's sketch on it. Hard not to laugh the way he puts it.

Yet the majority of a supposed civilised nation voted for him and his ilk.

These rednecks are anything but civilised and it's high time the rest of the world took a stance and ostracised them.

No they didn't. 77 Million morons voted for him, 75 million voted against him. Since the US populations is estimated to be 340 million, 140 million Americans did not vote at all.

Very doubtful that that will happen. Japan and South Korea need the US and will stay very close, the EU and NATO are dependent on the US for defense. Shit, I mean ruzzia invaded a European country for the first time since WW2 and most of the EU still spends less than 2% of GDP on Defense. You lot are like deer in headlights.

snubbly - how many are of actual voting age and were not disenfranchised

I understand the feeling , but unlike the bigly fcuktards , you could go for accuracy

To be accurate, less than a third of eligible US voters voted for the orange turd.

Over half of voters voted for him. Thats how it works.
