Slug can take his FAA conspiracy theories elsewhere. The FAA probably

Conspiracy?


1. Are you sure the tower was not closed due to
FAA budget cutbacks so the FAA could fund diversity
conferences in Vegas or their controller staffing
cutbacks or their management staff expansions(desk jobs in
DC)or their big contractor contracts or their Gay Pride
celebrations?


There is not now nor has there ever been in the last 40 years a tower
at Corona. Before that I don't know but would bet money there has
never been a tower at Corona.

2. Are you sure the radios were operational in that
airspace? Did you know that more and more FAA systems
including Air Traffic communications stay broke as the FAA
cuts back on staffing of critical technical positions but
expands their civil rights and diversity staff and funds Gay
Pride celebrations?


Irrelevant; no tower at Corona and the airspace they were in is
uncontrolled.

Moreover, a lot of aircraft that use Corona don't even have radios.

3. Are you sure the controllers in that airspace were
adequately staffed if the pilots were under FAA control and
properly trained and experienced(Most of the FAA seasoned
controllers are bailing due to pathetic FAA management and
cutbacks)


Irrelevant; no tower at Corona and the airspace they were in is
uncontrolled.

4. Are you sure one or both of the pilots were adequately
checked out by FAA flight inspectors?(The FAA has cut back
inspector positions under the Bush Administration but kisses
big contractors asses)


Irrelevant; checkouts are normally done by the pilot's CFI of
choice.

5. Are you sure one or both of the aircraft were adequately
inspected mechanically?(The FAA has cut back inspector
positions under the Bush Administration but kisses big
contractors asses redux)


Irrelevant; inspections are normally done by the owner's mechanic
of choice.

Conspiracy?


Why don't you open your eyes to the possibility that direct
or indirect FAA decisions and/or incompetence and/or budget
staffing cutbacks contributed to this incident.


Because that's a raving fantasy.

Or is it easier to blame it ALL on the two pilots and
bury your head in the sand?


The area they were in is see and avoid.

They didn't see and they didn't avoid.

Dig deep. You may be surprised to find you can't blow off
all the air accidents in America calling it a "Conspiracy
against the FAA" DIG a little. If one or more of the above
five scenarios are not in play I will electronically kiss
your ass.


Looks like you can kiss my ass.

Wake up. The FAA could care less about Air Safety. They are
only worried about their Loser management empires and Gay
Pride celebrations.


This may or may not be true, but it is obvious to the most casual
observer that it isn't relevant to the Corona incident.
