But she was the Official Navigator. No one is talking about this. Everyone knows 1 55 year old goy who is the "official pilot's" only job is to handle the controls while a 20 year old Hot Chick poasts on TikTok while looking Apple Maps on her phone at the time. The Chuck Yeager captain bears NO responsibility for the direction of the plane. This is common knowledge.

this is surprisingly more common than you think for middle aged professionals with decades of experience and their life on the line to rely on Hot Chicks for survival. it's Her Turn after all.

Yeah there's absolutely NO WAY the pilot could navigate around a massive storm on the radar with a half hour advanced notice because there's a WOMAN sitting next to him playing on her phone. Thanks for pointing this out.

Wait, WTF? Searching for this was difficult to confirm because all the news is about her being the pilot. The complete victims list I found listed her first and the pilot last.
This is like some sort of reverse Coulter rule. Seems like the media has identified gender war shit driving engagement. You've got Clancey, Cornell 7, and the coverage on this.

yeah there's also a bunch of pictures of the girl circulating and none of the actual pilot. I think this feeds into my theory that it's way more important to be the Navigator whose job is to avoid 47,000 foot tall storms shutting down Ft. Lauderdale airport than it is to be the actual pilot. TIL thanks, media.

I'm saying that the middle aged white guy pilot bears no responsibility for flying into a massive storm. It's the co-pilots job to tell him when to scoot around them. The whole reason the Hot Chick is front in center is she bears more responsibility than the guy with decades of experience with his hands physically on the controls flying the plane. She's the one whose actual job was the spot the storm from afar. She failed, he didn't.

It's funny every recap video about it has the girl's picture in the thumbnail. Even YouTubers are using her for advertising. Nothing about the pilot which is crazy.
yeah i think part of it is also to play up the culture wars thing, i forget who said that in a diff thread but MSM is probably doing that, but it's mostly because she was on the call everyone listened to and is pretty, imo in that order

Cr no doubt. Controversy sells. Like I said a dozen or so small planes crash every year in the US primarily due to bad weather that was 100% foreseeable. Good captains scrap the flight rather than risk it all. The risk isn't worth it but pilots are always tempting fate.
And then there was the captain of El Faro who had every opportunity to seek safety harbor in the Bahamas but this dude was like, you know what, I'm sailing into a Cat5 hurricane in a leaky rustbucket... Captains are very powerful. They can kill everyone they're responsible for with a little mental retardation.
Nothing sells a disaster story quite like a Hot Chick copilot.
