Nathan Fielder's season 2 of The Rehearsal is about how pilots intimidate their copilots and it causes crashes. He does actual in depth studies to figure out how to mitigate this problem. You should give it a watch. There is a problem outside of DEI (real or imagined).
"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.

This is actually kind of wild because once you hear it laid out like this you can’t unhear it. The 90s “wow… yeah” sarcasm and the early 2000s vocal fry on conference calls hit way too close to home. Armisen’s ear is disgusting in the best way.
Fred Armisen breaks down the fascinating evolution of conversational accents and speech patterns decade by decade on The Tonight Show.
"I've been working on some impressions of accents through the decades"
1900s: "the manufacturer and the farmer, people thought it was very British, but it's actually very Dutch and German"
1920s: "They start getting very aware of the microphone"
1950s: "It starts to flatten out a little bit. I'd like to on a Friday night, I'd like to read a book on a Friday night"
1960s: "Diverges a little bit where there's an official sort of news hour... and then the sort of people in interviews looked like they were in shock"
1970s: "There's a whisper to it. There's a sort of confusion as to what's going on, there's a whisper"
1990s: "Very kind of laid back, wow, the nineties laid back, yeah, very sarcastic and ironic, wow"
2000s: "You start to hear the vocal fry... guys are in a meeting and they can sort of hear that throughout when they're talking on a conference call"
