@VikingWays @sickburnbro no, the captain is in control of the vessel and the pilot is a local expert for the harbor. You take on a pilot to navigate the local waters and then they gtfo when you’re out of the danger zone
I highly doubt this chubby woman is a harbor pilot mostly because they have to regularly climb exposed 10m ladders

@VikingWays @sickburnbro pilot is not the captain, they are not in control of the vessel

@sapphire @sickburnbro The Captain is the 'manager' of the vessel and the pilot controls it, correct?

@sickburnbro So we had a wahmen captain of a bunch of pajeets, this story is humorous in that dark way where people plunged into icy waters and died.

@VikingWays @sapphire @sickburnbro I spent some time living on the Mississippi on a towboat. If I had been single at the time, I might still be on the river. I was a first mate on the William F. Plattner when I left. They wanted to train me to be a pilot, but that life is shit for a married man.

@VikingWays @sapphire @sickburnbro A harbor pilot controls the boat in dangerous local waters. The captain takes control when the harbor pilot exits the boat. There will also be a pilot on the boat to take the captain's place while he is sleeping. Every large vessel has a captain and pilot from towboats on up.

@Thorny935 @sapphire @sickburnbro My Great Uncle ran barges in the Mississippi River, but obviously I was young and didn't listen to him.

@sapphire @Thorny935 @VikingWays @sickburnbro Any job that involves making a lot of money has already fallen to the DIE protocols. Every job that requires competence combined with detailed knowledge and experience.... those have been upgraded to FUCK YOU RACIST. You cannot claim that White Men are better able to do these jobs, therefore they were only hired in the first place because of "systemic racism".
We all know this. This is why the collapse has already started. The people capable of doing things, like piloting a heavy cargo ship through a narrow channel in a busy harbor, are being replaced by incompetent diversity who cannot comprehend why the job exists in the first place, other than to pay White Men lots of money for being White.
These problems will happen much more often, now.

@bobbala @NoDoxGregBrady @Thorny935 @VikingWays @sickburnbro If you live rural, your local college is a good place to go for emergency dental work. I got my last wisdom tooth pulled at WVU by a white kid and I was in and out in an hour

Pro tip: Find a White dentist now! Not just for routine stuff but for when you need a real dentist.

@NoDoxGregBrady @sapphire @Thorny935 @VikingWays @sickburnbro The river pilots that make the runs from the Port of New Orleans to the gulf are virtually all family. With all that tonnage of vessels there been virtually no accidents due to bad piloting skills. There have a few mechanical reasons like loss of power, etc.

@Eleutheria2 @EvilMonkeys @Jewpacabra @NoDoxGregBrady @Thorny935 @VikingWays @sickburnbro railroad crossings are safe for a few more decades, they're all fully automatic and designed for resiliency and fail-safety
You'll have a rail crossing that never shuts off at every intersection before you have a single one that fails deadly

💯
Complex systems are breaking down. As the White men who designed, built, and run these complex systems are pushed out for diversity, the breakdown will accelerate. Stay out of planes at a minimum.
