You can probably construct a realistic chain of failure that goes all the way back to political tomfoolery and bad air traffic control leadership/staffing decisions, but that makes the wrong people look bad, so they'll probably blame individuals further down the totem pole like the controller or pilot and call it a day.
- renewiltord 8mo agoAh so you think it is Brigida. I get what you mean. I had to obscure that in order to ask the question.
- ryandrake 8mo agoNo, absolutely not. This has nothing to do with Brigida. I'm not being vague here. When I say political tomfoolery and leadership decisions, I'm not alluding to race or discrimination. I am talking about more plausible and straightforward causes: their decisions to not modernize ATC, and to keep ATC staffed at a skeleton level for decades.
- renewiltord 8mo agoI see. Who are the “wrong people” then? Pointing fingers at politicians over lack of funding is so routine I doubt any of them would be more than mildly inconvenienced by that. Certainly not to the degree where they’d conspire to hide it.
- ryandrake 8mo agoThe wrong people would be the class that never seems to take the fall: Director+ decisionmakers and policymakers.
