re: Definitive Video on Identity and Qualifications of Toronto Crash Pilots
Posted by General on 2/21/25 at 7:16 am
Delta information about the pilots
Plenty of wrong information in the video. No pilot is operating an aircraft for a 121 air carrier without being type rated. Having an R-ATP just means she hasn’t met the requirements for the full ATP and therefore can’t upgrade to Captain. You need 1000 hours of 121 time to upgrade anyway. She finished training last April according to Delta so she’s been on the line for around 10 months. She’s probably been on reserve and hasn’t flown enough to have the restriction removed or hasn’t taken the time to go to the FSDO to have it removed.
The captains name sounds familiar so I’m pretty sure I had him in training when I was there. There’s conflicting information about his time at Delta. The training at Delta isn’t any more difficult than it is at Endeavor. They’re both under AQP which is train to proficiency.
The guy in the video needs to stick to flying his 210. You don’t slip swept wing jets in a crosswind.

The issue will be would a man with such little experience have been advanced so quickly? IF a woman can meet the same standards as men to be a pilot, I don't have any problems with that. It's the lowering of standards to admit more women that exposes DEI as a dangerous policy.
We’re talking about a regional FO here. Nobody is getting hired at a regional unless they meet the qualifications codified by law after the Colgan crash in Buffalo. New hires at regionals today are way more qualified than they were 15 years ago when the mins were typically 500 hrs with 200 multi. The Captain had to use better judgement here and take the aircraft or call the go around if they were unstable below 500 feet. A new hire fo fresh off IOE is gonna have their hands full in those conditions.

Not true. The head of ALPA is a Delta pilot. Delta flight attendants are non-union.
re: PoliBoard Scoop? Nope, I was wrong about pilot's identity.

I think there's a chance that the crash was unavoidable
It was avoidable. The engines don’t take that long to spool up. She fixated on aim point and controlling the aircraft in a crosswind that was close to the limits and just didn’t flare. When the wind is that strong and gusty you carry extra speed so the engines would have already been making power. If she recently switched to the 900 from the 200 that could be a factor. They land very differently because the 200 doesn’t have slats. The approach pitch attitude on the 200 is nose down because of the lack of slats and therefore the site picture is different in the round out and flare. I want to know why the captain didn’t intervene. She will likely be retrained and captain downgraded.

The 159th still operates A-10s from Belle Chasse but you are correct the USAF did consolidate most of the Warthogs to Missouri (442nd Fighter Wing) but some are still based in Belle Chasse as part of the new AF strategy of spreading its assets across multiple bases for operational flexibility now.
The 159th has never had A-10’s.

Great game. Ruston hamstrung themselves with some penalties, but Neville led first downs 17 -12
Neville had more penalties than Ruston. The sophomore qb just keeps getting better and made some huge throws despite the early interception. He never blinked.

Fuel/air mixture isn’t set right. There’s likely a YouTube video that will show you how to set it for your model mower.

Legit question, has the LHSAA actually published anything stating that higher teams are home in the quarterfinals? I’ve looked in the LHSAA Handbook for this season and it has all of the previous text struck through regarding how to determine the home team for the quarters, but there’s nothing inserted in its place.
It’s in the playoff bulletin they sent out.

Holy Cross #1 overall seed and Karr #5 in Division I Select? Didn't Karr win the District and have a better record along with head to head win over Holy Cross? Haven't followed high school football too closely, this year, and been a really long time since I paid any attention to power rating scores.
Holy Cross’s non-district opponents had much better records than Karr’s non-district opponents. That’s the difference.

They should make districts based on the Divisions instead of global districts based on the Classification.
Absolutely, but they have to change the handbook for that to happen. Hopefully someone authors a proposal to do that at the convention in January.

Why does Neville keep playing 4A and moved up to 5A for playoffs.
They changed the playoff format last year in the middle of the season. Belle Chasse and Westgate were also forced up.
