Matt Walsh gets footage of FAA meeting planning to reduce white pilots

[susano]

BREAKING: I've obtained internal footage of senior officials at the FAA's Flight Program Operations division — which is responsible for all aspects of aircraft operations — workshopping a plan to reduce the number of white males in aviation.

2/ The footage begins with FAA acting deputy chief operating officer Angela McCullough saying more workers need to go from "ramp to cockpit," meaning she wants to see more baggage handlers become airline pilots.

3/ As the meeting goes on, McCullough declares that it's important to "get a little uncomfortable." She complains that Flight Operations is "white-male dominated" and tells the managers they need to “talk about what the future could look like."

4/ In response, David ‘Wil’ Riggins [white guy], the FAA’s Vice President of Flight Program Operations, says, "That's great, honestly. Those are some words that we really need to spend some time digging through and thinking about."

Horrifying. Planes without essential parts and unqualified pilots chosen for DEI. Same going on with air traffic control. And in medical schools. Can't we file some class action suits and just start suing the shit out of these lunatics for endangering everyone?

They "diversified" trucking over the last ten to twenty years.

In 2021, 5,700 large trucks were involved in a fatal crash, an 18% increase from 2020 and a 49% increase in the last 10 years. The involvement rate per 100 million large-truck miles traveled is up 7% from 2020, and up 22% in the last 10 years. Large trucks are defined as any medium or heavy truck, not including buses and motor homes, with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds. Both commercial and non-commercial vehicles are included.

diversifying in aviation would be idiotic

I already hate driving near semis. I wouldn't be surprised if the questions on the CDL test are deemed too hard and scrapped to dumb it down.

Likely catastrophic.

Truck driving, along with flying, has become incredibly easier in the last decade or two.

Yet accidents are increasing per hundred million miles driven.

Scheduled airline service in the US is very very safe, there has not been a fatality since 2018. The reason for this is simple: airlines run a razor thin profit margin, one or two incidents can bankrupt them. Therefore they did everything in their power to implement safety systems, thought up and put in place by pilots, mostly white men. They are stultifying and rigid and result in other problems, like thousands of flights getting canceled at the hint of bad weather. But there have been almost no crashes.

Africa and Latin America, on the other hand:

The number of turboprop accidents declined in 2022 compared to 2021 but they accounted for four of the five fatal accidents last year with loss of life to passengers and crew onboard. Although sectors flown by turboprops represented just 10.6% of the total, turboprops were involved in 36% of all accidents, 80% of fatal accidents and 16% of fatalities in 2022.

Six regions showed improvement or no deterioration, in the turboprop hull loss rate in 2022 when compared to the five-year average. The two regions to see increases compared to the five-year average were Latin America/Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa.

“Both sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America saw increases in turboprop accidents last year. Introduction and adherence to global standards (including IOSA) are key to reversing this trend. The priority for Africa continues to be implementation of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) safety-related standards and recommended practices (SARPS),” said Walsh.

At year-end 2022, some 28 African countries (61%) had an Effective Implementation (EI) rate of ICAO SARPS of 60% or greater, unchanged from 2021. Increased attention is being placed to address the critical elements of the ICAO SARPS.

“Building a data rich environment across Africa is also essential to delivering regional improvements such as IATA’s Global Aviation Data Management program,” said Walsh.

“Turning to Latin America, the region took a step back in 2022 after registering steady safety improvements for several years. Working with government and industry stakeholders through bodies such as the Regional Aviation Safety Group Pan America, IATA is helping provide tools to enable state regulators and operators to support the adoption of safety best practices. At the local level, Collaborative Safety Teams and Runway Safety Teams are using IATA’s GADM safety database and other data sources to identify and mitigate risks,” said Walsh.

Oh hell no comrade.

They hate us on planes almost as much as they hate us in cars.

Numerous small fuckups leading to something massive.

Lets call it parking damage, but that happens from time to time, you'd be surprised. Runway incursions is what you should be scared of, just google the numbers, it might shock you how many times the accident that recently happened in Japan could have happened in the US in the past years.

It won't be massive. It'll be 5-10 crashes per year, that we haven't had one of since 2018 (which is a tremendous stretch of success in the history of commercial air flight), and those wrecks will be blamed on ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING besides the incompetence of the flight crew and ATC's, and most likely primarily on "the greed of the airline companies".

There will be no reckoning. There will be no come-to-Jesus. It will continue on, unabated, until there is practically nothing left. And if you want proof, just look in the rearview mirror.
