"Based on everything we know so far, the fault for this lies squarely with the American pilots"
Do we? The discussion has VERY carefully avoided any discussion of what happened. Pinning the blame entirely on the pilots is what I'd do if I wanted to avoid pinning the blame on the controllers, or just wanted to write an anti-union screed.
I clicked on "about" and the author has absolutely no professional skills or qualifications related to the airline industry in any form at all, but his mind is certainly made up already about a "deep in the weeds" technical issue. I would rather hear the authors strongly held beliefs about K8S cluster design or ELK stack dashboards; its not like he's any less trained or qualified to hold those opinions.
- Analemma_ 4y agoThe problem with this theory is that just a couple weeks later there was another near-miss incident (the one in Austin with the landing FedEx), where this time it was pretty clear that the controller was at fault. The most parsimonious explanation is that people are in fact pretty good at assigning blame and anti-union sentiment has nothing to do with it.
