Who knows. This very well could be because of the long time air traffic controller shortage. Could be the tower at Reagan was understaffed.

I also believe that liberals pointing to actions that Trump has taken the two weeks he's been in has caused it are wrong. I don't think this has anything to do with Trump. There's evidence to suggest the Reagan tower was understaffed for years.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

hefe, got your wish. The helicopter pilot was a woman. - TigerMatt KC - 1/31 07:09:20

She was hot after getting blown up, was she hot before?(nm) - Eggs MU - 1/31 07:59:47

Well, she was a female pilot. So probably not. - AllThingsKC KC - 1/31 08:42:12

This is the question (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 1/31 08:25:56

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves (nm) - hefeweizen MU

Pete Hegseth right now - Bosalphus KC - 1/31 07:49:03

yep, it completely validates his point (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 07:49:51

not a surprise... when standards are lowered to check boxes - zounami MU - 1/31 07:37:30

That's quite the leap - Wildcat KSU - 1/31 08:49:22

your interpretation of what I wrote is certainly a leap (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 08:54:00

I applied your broad statement to the specific topic alluded - Wildcat KSU - 1/31 09:05:44

Careful, you going to be labeled a demlib if you keep - kmawv8 MU - 1/31 09:11:19

Do you have proof that this is an example of standards - kmawv8 MU - 1/31 08:56:58

it couldn't have been too long ago, given her relatively - zounami MU - 1/31 09:36:42

So you have no idea - meatiger MU - 1/31 10:00:10

wrong... I explained why she's most likely a Biden era - zounami MU - 1/31 10:03:54

RE: wrong... I explained why she's most likely a Biden era - meatiger MU - 1/31 10:08:27

she was recruited under DEI policies & standards, and now - zounami MU - 1/31 10:09:54

lol(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/31 10:14:20

Do you have proof that this female pilot went through - kmawv8 MU - 1/31 09:04:03

highlander made an excellent point about this... - zounami MU - 1/31 09:05:30

Neither you or Highlander know in this case - Wildcat KSU - 1/31 09:06:55

by "the normal ones" do you mean the merit-based, non-DEI - zounami MU - 1/31 09:14:55

She made about 249 previous flights - meatiger MU - 1/31 09:29:06

wrong, and highlander made an excellent point about this... - zounami MU - 1/31 13:48:29

You're only proving my point - Wildcat KSU - 1/31 09:16:49

we'll never know with absolute 100% certainty... - zounami MU - 1/31 09:18:12

Your deductive reasoning skills - meatiger MU - 1/31 09:30:40

I oppose racial discrimination in all forms. Period. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 09:36:01

I do as well - meatiger MU - 1/31 09:54:25

Then you should oppose DEI, as I do (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 09:56:32

Have I ever said I agree with it? - meatiger MU - 1/31 09:58:40

you defend and rationalize it... not a good look (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 10:04:49

I have not defended it - meatiger MU - 1/31 10:07:00

You can just say no. It was a pretty direct question. (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 1/31 09:06:51

Being a female does nothing to reduce the standards - StaleyTiger MU - 1/31 08:48:59

Again, that didn't answer the very direct question (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 1/31 09:10:06

it did actually... work on your reading comprehension (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 09:16:04

I agree. But quotas of any kind create doubt in the groups - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/31 09:03:21

There are all kinds of class-action lawsuits over this... - zounami MU - 1/31 09:17:19

correct, and justifiably so (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 09:05:51

I couldn’t do it obviously. As a male(nm) - FIJItiger MU

as a beta male, correct, you probably couldn't (nm) - zounami MU - 1/31 08:05:54
