I encourage the moderators to MODERATE this thread. It has digressed into a very dark space. The legacies of those killed deserve so much better than this. There of course will be litigation over this accident and some of these comments are fodder.

Everything is possible, few things are plausible.
We should stick to what is plausible.
* copy and paste from an anonymous forum without context or source verification can hardly be considered evidence in a courtroom.

So. Much. This.
Although I don’t know anyone involved, I do know some that have died and the few that have lived through devastating aviation mishaps.
While I think it’s completely healthy to talk about aviation accidents ( they may keep the rest of us alive), let’s not MF this crew.

To be clear, I believe there is fault on more than one side in that scenario. As well as external factors which are becoming too significant.

It happens, let’s not kid ourselves. Regardless of race, gender, whatever, it happens. This is not the profession for the thin skinned.

Some of these pilots are good. Some aren't but will become good with experience. Some will never develop. Companies with better contracts will pick over the good ones and the ones who develop...

Facts are on thing....speculation and conjecture is something totally different... now we have digressed into HR retaining a pilot based on fear of being sued for racial discrimination.... SMH. Moderators please moderate!!

Now you are alleging gross negligence. This will be hard to prosecute. Hope the family finds an attorney to take the case pro bono.

If what is being talked about is found to be true, the repercussions are pretty significant. Atlas is fortunate this didn't hit a crowded suburban or urban area and kill a lot of people on the ground too.
