   Commercial aviation is facing a trifecta of impending disaster: covid, space debris, & anti-DEI. Jet pilots are getting covid every year of service with no safety net in place. Space debris is falling all the time now (& can hit airplanes). Anti-DEI targeting is removing & discouraging the best & brightest workers. I personally (as a pilot) will think very long & hard before getting on any commercial aircraft again.

     That said, I don’t think the Black Hawk down situation had a lot to do with this trifecta. It was a simple mistake. Air Traffic didn’t mention 2 jets or where the jets were. So Black Hawk apparently thought there was one jet. It all happens very fast. One, tiny error on both sides in a matter of seconds can lead to disaster and mass death in aerospace. That’s why with all the increasing pressures of today, I really think flights should be seen as luxury only and not the norm.
