Aviation Safety and Systemic Failures

This chapter addresses the consequences of staff cuts at the FAA, analyzing their connection to recent air traffic safety concerns highlighted by a Delta Endeavor Air crash. The speaker presents skepticism towards official explanations for the incident, particularly regarding pilot error and the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in aviation safety. A broader discussion is undertaken on the potential long-term impacts of prioritizing DEI over meritocracy in the industry and the historical systemic issues affecting aviation infrastructure.
