How about you gather actual facts before rushing to demonize all trans people?

Genuinely curious. He's a good dude. Do you think he respects you? He thinks you're a piece of shit. I think you're a piece of shit. What do you think?
As humans we talk to ourselves about ourselves. We tell ourselves things about ourselves. We decide things about ourselves as best we can. We lay it all out before God. What do you make of yourself here?

I think you are taking the internet way too seriously, lol.

My 40% fact is pretty accurate.
You're on here all day long you sadsack. Still curious if you want to give an answer.

It is pretty irrelevant to your point too.

I'll leave that for the aviation medical examiners to figure out.

Plenty of pilots are trans.

You think GP ever sits back from his screen and thinks "Wow I'm a piece of shit human being?"
Probably not, that's why it's up to us to keep reminding him.

lol, you know there's no way I can take that seriously.
You can think about it later on tonight alone in your bed.

Only I am allowed to bully Greyparrot. I dont like it when other people bully him.

The military helicopter should not have been there on the same trajectory.
Here is an interview with a former Blackhawk pilot. In addition to what I have pointed out, she adds that the helicopter should ideally have had one more crewmember aboard for collision avoidance purposes. It appears that 3 is the minimum crew, so the flight was technically in compliance there. As for the training status of the flight, it appears that the purpose of the flight was to learn how to navigate DC’s busy airspace! Damn, that is aggravating and tragically ironic:

The plane had the right of way. It was cleared for landing.

Well that settles it then. Clearly this individual couldn't have been qualified.
That's not the point. Trannies I think are more likely to be skilled pilots, given that so many autists are brainwashed to become trannies.
Honestly a normal person is unable to gain the skills that a autist can.
The crash looks intentional, just after banning trannies. It would be weird for the media coverage to cover this and paint it as a ban the way they have and then for a tranny pilot to randomly kill 60 people right after and it be unintentional.
Yes DEI means less qualified people often, otherwise you wouldn't need to eliminate meritocracy for it, but that's not the point being made here.

Trump is making that point. Employment should not be based on DEI but on pure merit.

Well, we didn't elect a president based on pure merit. We elected a downright moron.

It is based on merit. Trump convinced over 70 million Americans that he will be a good president.
This was after he was found to be "very likely to be guilty of rape", after he was found guilty on many crimes.
It just shows that when you are rich and famous in USA, you can do anything, even be rapist and still become president twice.
Education isnt very strong in USA. This is why 70 million people are stupid enough to believe that Trump cannot be guilty of a crime even after being found guilty of a crime in a court.

The workers had all signed a sworn affidavit that they would not strike against the government. Reagan even agreed to a $40 million increase for the air traffic workers “in recognition of the difficulties inherent in the work these people perform,” an increase which, calculated proportionally, was twice the average income for most federal workers. The union agreed with Reagan, and then later demanded a whopping $681 million increase, 17 times what was originally negotiated. So naturally, Reagan said “no” and then they went on strike. The strike caused more harm than Reagan’s actions, because his threats to fire strikers if they didn’t return to work within 48 hours paid off (for the most part) in restoring airport flow. The workers who were fired would have still left work anyways, because there was no way that the federal government would support a $681 million increase with taxpayer dollars.

After ten years some of those controllers were rehired.
Not say Regans move caused accidents, only that --as presented in the quotes I presented--- it takes two years minimum to train these controllers.
That technicality was also mentioned on news today, in regards to what it takes to become an air traffic controller.
And again, Im just saying it was reminscent of out with the old in with the new in both cases involving airports in general.

Mind you, this is al-Jazeera. Not exactly a right-wing source. In any case, whatever the optics of Trump making that call right before this accident happened, it has no actual bearing on such.

I didn't say it directly caused the DC crash, but it is the kind of uninformed recklessness that will increase the likelihood of further aviation disasters. Trump jumped to politicize it while they were still pulling bodies out of the Potomac, blaming DEI, and hypocritically lying about his predecessors having done what he had just done to lay blame.

Any radical organizational shakeup will produce chaos and harm its efficiency in the short-term. This doesn't make them not worth doing.
For example, see the Air Traffic Controller Strike of 1981. Reagan fired more than 11,000 skilled employees whose job was to keep planes from crashing into each other. If there was ever a time for Democrats to scream bloody murder and accuse the Republican President of being a crypto-fascist who wanted to kill people, it would be then.
But in the long run, Reagan's firing vastly improved the efficiency of air travel by preventing disruptive strike actions which grounded much of the United States and created uncertainty as to whether the towers needed to help planes already in the air land safely would be manned at the pivotal minutes in question.
My point being, the long-term ramifications of Trump Administration's shakeup of the Federal workforce remain to be seen. Right now the media wants you to panic and suppose that only horrible outcomes will result from whatever Trump is doing, but you shouldn't.
