Austin and JFK incidents show woke hiring will cause the next big aviation disaster... - Revolver News

Woke hiring practices put us all in danger. Nowhere is this more clear than in aviation, as shown by these extremely close calls.

Within the last month, we have seen two extremely close calls involving passenger jets at American airports. Human error is directly to blame for both, and we can’t help but notice a pattern in the humans in question. A female pilot made a wrong turn into the path of a jet taking off at JFK, and in Austin a black controller ordered a flight to take off while another was about to land.


Obviously, there’s nothing inherently wrong with black controllers or female pilots, as long as they are hired solely on merit, and we certainly cannot be confident of that under the woke judicial civil rights regime currently ruling over America.


Pilot with the right stuff averts disaster at Austin

Here’s how the Austin near-miss went down on February 4th:

Two days ago I wrote about the latest airline “close call.” It happened before dawn this past Saturday, in near zero-visibility conditions, at the Bergstrom Airport in Austin.

—A Boeing 767 flown by FedEx was cleared to land, on a “Cat III” approach that allows an airliner to touch down safely even if the pilots cannot see the runway. Meanwhile a Boeing 737 flown by Southwest was cleared to take off from that same runway, directly in the descending airplane’s path.

—It appears that quick action and situational awareness by the FedEx crew prevented a mass-casualty disaster…
Here is a viewer’s guide to what you’re seeing and hearing. The three voices you’ll hear are:
Austin Tower, the controller clearing the planes to land and take off.

FedEx 1432 Heavy, the Boeing 767 getting ready to land.

Southwest 708, the Boeing 737 getting ready to take off.

This video plays the exchange in real-time:



Immediately after the harrowing moment, the controller tells the American crew, “I have a number for you to call.”

A few weeks have gone by now, and the pilots have refused three requests to be interviewed by the National Transportation Safety Board.

As of yesterday, they were finally given subpoenas.

“NTSB has determined that this investigation requires that the flight crew interviews be audio recorded and transcribed by a court reporter to ensure the highest degree of accuracy, completeness, and efficiency,” the agency said in a preliminary report. “As a result of the flight crew’s repeated unwillingness to proceed with a recorded interview, subpoenas for their testimony have been issued.”
The three pilots have seven days to respond to the subpoenas, which direct them to appear for interviews at NTSB headquarters in Washington. American said they are not currently flying for the airline.

We all know the NTSB is not going to get to the heart of the matter. That is a job for the Supreme Court.
