I know that you can train as an ATC as an Army enlisted MOS, and then go straight into that field as a civilian when you get out, making damn good money.
In this case, Iām not sure why else they would withhold it other than for the family. I donāt see what there is to gain.

The argument will be framed as a privacy vs public safety issue.
Letās think of it in terms of someone dying
from a new super ebola virus that is highly contagious. In that case, the victims name is not normally released right away by officials.
It will have to be released eventually.
Right, it will eventually be known. Iām okay with officially waiting until investigation is complete.

The helicopter was flying too high. It appears it was simple human error. Very unfortunate.
āGet up, Lieutenant.ā
āWhat is it, Captain?ā
āWeāre gonna go train.ā
āBack to central Virginia?ā
āNo. I wanna go fly in front of passenger aircraft at one of the countryās busiest airports.ā

Thereās only one flight path that crosses thereā¦ they confirmed it twiceā¦ Iām going to pull up flight tracker and look at the paths that crossed and we should be able to seeā¦
Hereās another angleā¦

Why release the two male soldiersā namesā¦?
Why break protocol for this one person?
Why were they flying too high, why did they request to maneuver around itā¦ that doesnāt make you question anythingā¦?

I tried to filter older flights from ICT to DCA on flight aware and nothing comes up Canadair Regionalā¦
Again, the plan was going 140mph. Youāre getting confused because almost all video angles have the plane coming towards them so it looks stationary. Include the speed of the helo and youāll see that the plane could be hard to spot from the helo pilotās point of view.

These are veteran combat pilotsā¦ you really believe they canāt see a plane with blinking lights coming right at themā¦ they never even tried to take evasive actionā¦ you must believe they were all staring at the capitol building or somethingā¦
And nothing looks stationaryā¦ the helo or the planeā¦

Why do we have a shortage for air traffic controllers?
Why is it that the air traffic tower at Reagan airport had/has 19 air traffic controllers when they should have 30?
This is asinine. Moreover it is happening in D.C. of all places.
How do you define insanity?
Are yāall familiar with the term ākeep your head on a swivelāā¦
The ATC did their jobā¦ thereās proof the helo pilot acknowledged they saw the CRJ not once, but twiceā¦
And said they were going to maneuver around itā¦

I guess their family approved it. Plus they are less likely to become some sort of political punching bag.
I donāt know enough here to answer you.
That is not the point. You should never have an air traffic controller shortage. It is about national security especially in D.C. and with military aircrafts flying non stop.
You can have a palm tree cleaning shortage but an air traffic controller shortage?
That indeed is inexcusable.
Dustin, the military follows protocolā¦ they donāt give a damn about what your family thinksā¦
For some reason theyāre not following it for the female soldier onboardā¦
