#Learjet60
It takes nothing to feel a little empathy and to refrain from spewing hateful, misogynistic, sexist and racist (someone referred to her BF as "brown") comments.
I thank Mr. Isaacman for his take on the matter. I doubt true idiots would come to there senses, however... sad times
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 woman’s 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 aircraft’s 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.
X is one proof that in absence of real consequences, many people will spew absolutely disgusting stuff shamelessly. I am profoundly disturbed by the comments pouring in after #Learjet60 crashed in Florida.
May the impacted families find peace during these difficult times.
That kid is a monster in disguise. Behind this sweet angelic face and this kind heart hides a beast with still unkown skills, knowledge, and strengths. Once that beast is released, see the world championships pour in.

This is how it has felt to me for a long time.

Having recently got into F1, I'm horrified to find out that "shoeys" were a thing. WTF is wrong with people 🤢🤢... drinking off a stinky, hot foot-sweat-drenched shoe.. ugh.. I feel physically ill just thinking about it.

Last night I dreamed that I was at a F1 event where I randomly ran into Piastri, who actually just decided to chill with me while I was looking for my husband. Pretty cool dude. We're now good friends. So Oscar, if you see this, time to catch up! Been a while. #OscarPiastri #F1
Hey #Nightwish, Noora Louhimo.
Please and thank you.

Dear Max,
WFH avoids me 1h30m traffic both ways everyday, and that's THE biggest perk for me. I work from ~7am-5/7pm, making 0.06 % of your salary. I don't expect you and your out-of-touch brain to understand whatever us poors and peasants experience every day.
