VIDEO: Last moments of Delta 4819 - Who was flying?

Less than three weeks after the horrific mid-air collision at DCA (Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport), Delta Connection flight 4819 -- a Bombardier CRJ900 operated by Endeavor Air, a subsidiary of Delta Airlines -- crashed on landing at YYZ (Pearson International Airport in Toronto), overturning and winding up upside down on the runway. 

As we reported in the DCA story, there was a lot of speculation by people right up to President Trump that DEI -- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion -- was a contributing factor to the tragic accident. People said that either the air traffic controllers or the pilots of the military helicopter, or both, were (possibly) DEI hires, not competent to perform their assigned duties. 

The same conclusions were jumped to in the aftermath of the crash of 4819, with people demanding to know who the pilots were and their qualifications and experience. In this video, which has received over 2.8 million views since it was posted eight days ago, Taking Off analyst Dan Millican reveals the identities of the pilots and details their qualifications. And he offers his best guess as to which of them -- the male or the female -- had the controls as the plane crashed and burned.

Miraculously, everyone on board Delta 4819 survived. Mr Millican points out that this was by the grace of God, not the actions of the "heroic pilots", as the plane would have been uncontrollable a second or two after crashing. And his guess as to who was in control is just that, a guess. Suspicions will be confirmed... or not... once the relevant inquiries have been held and their reports released.

Still... one has to wonder about the safety of American skies when people with minimal qualifications, if any, are hired on the basis of race, gender or other politically-determined criteria. Don't be fooled, people. Wokeism can kill!
