Default The FAA sinks deeper into crap over Kentucky accident

"Did the controller make any error that contributed to this crash"?
Probably not

Did the FAA make any errors that contributed to this crash? Yes

The FAA violated their own staffing orders for LEX

The FAA orders clearly state you must have two controllers on duty if you
are working the field and Radar approach

End of subject


Would this crash have been prevented if two controllers had been on duty?



By the way, the controller just came off a shift with very little sleep.
He WAS worked like a dog sir.


No he wasn't. The traffic as reported at LEX during the night hours doesn't
by itself justify having the ATC facility open at all. I have to conclude
it's open only to provide radar coverage to the area.



You see this is common practice now in the FAA as the diversity hiring and
politically correct house of cards the FAA has built since the Clinton
Administration starts to crumble.

As experienced controllers and technicians(Mostly White Males) work double
shifts, back to back shifts and endure pathetic unqualified
management(Mostly Minority and Female)the old and tired rubber band
sometimes stretchs and snaps. ALL this as the FAA rams more and more
incompetent women and minorities down the workforces throat under the
guise of politically correct tyranny.

The rubber band snapped at LEX Sunday

Soon many more will snap unless the FAA starts a numbered bid system and
goes with aviation related qualifications rather than social engineering
SCAMS and diversity within a super sophisticated operational environment
that requires the brightest and best.

Call the FAA some time and ask how many experienced white heterosexual
males have retired or quit in the last year??

You will be surprised

Many more rubber bands will continue to snap unless the FAA radically
changes it's priorities back to aviation safety rather than social
engineering and "Kissing the Black Ass"

You will see


There's nothing you can tell me about the FAA.
