Seriously, this utterly deranged “air traffic control is wokeness” trash is breaking containment.
*blinks*
Once you've decided deregulation is the way forward, hard to set any parameters about where maybe it's still needed.
They did do something really dumb with the tests for ATC a while back in the name of diversity and equity, but that's not the goddamn problem here in the slightest, and the ATCs who came out of that round are still damn competent.
Lifted trucks of the sky.
I don’t think this particular angle is about the “wokism” nonsense. At least it’s not what I’m hearing. Every time there’s a major disaster, there are hundreds of people sincerely trying to “help” in really dangerous ways, and coordination difficulties that lead to stories like these.
If you've ever become a pilot or even trained to be a pilot you would understand why this is completely insane and why these people are stupid. I swear to God people just don't understand the complexities of the world around us and why regulations are in place.
"We should have the freedom to kill ourselves" has been a weirdly consistent, and utterly insane statement the last few years.
It is easier to believe in conspiracy theories when you do not understand how things work (whether unintentional or willful ignorance)
The first rule of first aid is to make sure you don’t go from one rescue to two. An air disaster is exactly what no one in a disaster zone needs.
