This is literally observation technique spy agencies use. The Soviets had their spies walk around D.C. during the Able Archer training exercises and count how many offices were lit at night and the prognosis was grim, most of them. This indicated to Andropov that the Americans were working 24/7 to invade the Soviet Union and that nuclear war was imminent. Sadly Andropov and the KGB forgot a very simple reason they would be on -- cleaners come through at night, take the trash out and sweep the floors. However its common knowledge that "warm food" is provided to the military just before they're given bad news such as a rotation to the front line or an assault is taking place.

steak, eggs, lobster.
Premium food has always been handed out prior to hot deployments.

That's been going on for half a decade.
"diversity hire" pajeets are responsible for the 737 max fiasco and that's now ancient history.

Also, thernobitch needs a lolcow thread here if he doesn't have one.
He's a preening egotist who has spent his entire adult life living off alimony from some heiress he boned right out of college and lectures everyone else on what "success" is.
He's basically the white male Kamala Harris.

Isn't he a kike and therefore (((white))) not white? I may be wrong.

I don't know if this is out of the ordinary, but the sheer number of stories I've heard of "two planes almost wrecked taking off / landing only missing by inches or because someone desperately screamed incoherently into the radio until things were averted" where the unspoken by undeniable cause was "because the pilot / tower control was a woman diversity hire" has been overwhelming this past year. It's literally only a matter of time before that particular roll of the dice goes poorly for everyone involved and gets a few hundred people killed.

But hey, those icky white male pilots retired, and more diversity is more gooder, right?

It's already happened... ok, not a few hundred, but 3, and not US pilots, but on US soil.

Pilots' names may be a joke, I'm not sure with those Korean names.

The thing that worries me is not diversity hires in general in aviation, that's been going on for a while and generally the US system is pretty good at weeding out the actual morons. But that those with a diagnosed mental illness(Transgenderism) are now allowed an FAA medical and to become commercial pilots.

Happy thoughts for your next flight.

Better avoid any flights with 41 in their numbers then...

Nope. If you're going to avoid any flights based on flight numbers, avoid any flight that's numbered '191.' Baaaaaad luck, the 191s.

1.) American Airlines Flight 191
Screenshot 2023-10-25 at 12.44.52 PM.png
>5/25/1979
>273 fatalities (remains deadliest aviation accident to occur in US)
>Cause: Crashed on takeoff at ORD due to separation of engine, resulting in hydraulic failure and loss of control- due to improper maintenance/cost-cutting at AA.

2.) Delta Airlines Flight 191

>8/2/1985
>137 fatalities, 27 survivors
>Cause: Control loss during approach to DFW due to microburst, leading to runway undershoot

3.) Comair Flight 191 (technically 5191, but callsign was 191)

>8/27/2006
>49 fatalities, 1 survivor
>Cause: Pilot error- crashed on takeoff from LEX due to incorrect runway selection

4.) JetBlue Flight 191
Screenshot 2023-10-25 at 12.31.25 PM.png
>3/27/2012
>0 fatalities
>Cause: Plane diverted by copilot after Captain suffered mental breakdown and was subsequently locked out of cockpit. Subdued by passengers after ranting about 9/11, Jesus, Al-Qaeda/terrorists, and a bomb on board.


That all being said, I would walk right off the plane if I saw a troon in the cockpit during boarding. I don't care how accomplished you are as an aviator. Hell, you could be a decorated flying ace with decades of military and civil service, sporting a pages-long list of ratings in both military and civil aircraft. I unequivocally refuse to put my life in the hands of an adult who seriously questions whether girls can have penises and boys can get periods. I don't see how such an individual can be trusted to remember the basic laws of aerodynamics, if they're disputing blunt facts given to us since we were young lads and lasses.

Voting has started. IIRC 36 people voted for McCarthy in the secret ballot so we'll see how many RINO cucks are left.

I can, when the only specific policy I heard out of it was "Pass a law to nationally recognize trans people, and enshrine in law that sex reassignment surgery is legal nationally at any age".

I can’t wait for a RINO to agree to something like this. There’s a very real chance they’ll be shot by their constituents.
