@buzorszn but why is the 20s so full of disappointment? not like the remaining years on earth would be bed of roses. ?when person wan really get am clear? no be say person no de get am clear before oo but something go sha make everything blurr. OMO!SMH.
@Vekydinho227@officialABAT@grok@grok drop proofs and evidence that are verifiable. Facts only. Deep research donโt be biased. I want names, extensive knowledge.
Today has really fucked me off.
People think all pilots look like me, old, grey, half bald with a beer in hand. They forget that we all have to start somewhere. As a 20 year old copilot getting a job on a Lear (after passing the ATP, and the aircraft type rating), getting shit thrown at you every day by experienced Captains (who only want you to learn) until the point at which you get selected for Captaincy. Youโve worked so hard, youโve dedicate your entire life to that moment and what it means beyond.
To have that cut short is absolutely devastating, itโs a brutal, one chance only world, get it wrong once and there are no second chances.
So before you post about a 20 year old female pilot being in such a position ask yourself what youโd done by 20? Ask yourself how your friends and family would feel tonight.
Above all, leave it to the investigators to work it out.
Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor womanโs final radio calls.
That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.
I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraftโs maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.
Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.
