If Connor pulls this off I’ll give away two tickets to an #LetsGoOilers game to whoever likes and reposts this 👀
They know what they did here
Beckett Sennecke can be an absolute weapon; he'll be one to watch against the Oilers tonight.

Seriously #shrinkthegame
Once again, another dude who ran out of an argument so he turned to SA comments.
Guess what? If you ACTUALLY supported SA victims in this, you’d be even more against @minnesotawild using stars colours than I am.

Air traffic controllers warned the pilots of the Learjet that crashed in Florida full uncut video:

If it had been a 20yo frat bro saying "like" 20 times in a news interview boasting about getting his pilot license before his driver's license and making TikToks in the cockpit, no one would have defended him

It literally just get worse and worse.
Female pilot from FL crash, struggling on the radio from a flight 3 months prior. There were signs. There are always signs…

Six months before it crashed in Florida, the same Learjet was fighting severe turbulence on its way into Teterboro.
Listen to their voices and tell me if that sounds like the same pilots to you!
They acted arrogant and tried to argue with the controller, who then embarrassed them with a scolding.
On May 6, Learjet 60 N722BD climbed above its assigned 4,000 feet on approach. The controller ordered it back down immediately and told the crew that if they couldn't hold altitude, it wasn't moderate turbulence, it was severe.
ATC then warned other traffic that the jet was unable to maintain altitude and was showing 3,600 feet. By sheer luck, it landed safely at Teterboro.
On November 1, they weren't so lucky and we know what unfortunately happened next.
This replay was built from public flight tracking data and amateur air traffic control audio.

“Uhhh actually she was the co-pilot.”
I’m learning that a lot of people think the co-pilot is just there to vibe. Take-your-girl-to-work day… she just gets to hang out in the cockpit and snapchat?
This is not making the case you think it is, and now 9 people are dead because you’re afraid to be a little mean to women.
Because you are a manipulative piece of shit heathen.

The pilot doesn’t navigate
The co pilot does
And she’s got a shit history

I know a bunch of stuffs
Like how if you point out a co pilots job was to navigate, you have a bunch of women crash out, because they can’t grasp agency.
Secondly yes, a male copilot would have been fired multiple times
Women’s dei treatment is exactly the topic at hand.
You just can’t participate because why exactly?

"She was just the Co-Pilot!"
"She wasn't flying the plane!"
Meanwhile, she was running a girlboss learjet_girl TikTok channel and often flew with long nails that could impede instrument operation.
She called herself a Lion and bragged about being a young pilot... clearly someone who is just too cocky for her own good, and that overconfidence and complacency killed 9 people.
Co-pilots, assuming she wasn't flying at the time, are responsible for monitoring the instruments, the radar, and making course corrections when needed after obtaining permission from air traffic control. Depending on the investigation, it might have been her responsibility to obtain permission to change course to avoid that storm cell that doomed the jet. That permission arrived, but it was too late.
Whoever was flying the plane should have made the call to move laterally to avoid the storm cell... they should have recognized how dangerous it was, and were probably too inexperienced to notice the danger.
Learjets are also notoriously ice-sensitive, and they should have avoided that entire storm system, or turned back and cancelled the flight.
The manual is explicit... "even small accumulations of ice on the wing leading edge can cause an aerodynamic stall prior"
She could have been alive today, along with the 8 other people... but everyone has to pretend that the obvious pattern that is in front of them doesn't exist.
