Huh? The FAA hasn't identified a trend? Really? Hint: Think SVB
Buttigieg, an appointee with minimal technical skills, selected as a payoff to special interest groups wielding influence in the 2024 election, is the poster child for "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" which has replaced "The Best and the Brightest" as the criterion in the country today.
The Government policy of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has brought this situation to the forefront. The Government has taken these policies way too far putting folks who may not be the most qualified in positions of great talent and skill.
What are you talking about? What does DEI have to do with a white pilot and white ATC doing stupid things.
And let's finalize the argument about whether it's a “near miss” or a “near hit!”
A miss is as good as a mile, they say.
I'm not so sure about that, myself.

Do we go by the mind or do we go by the feelings?
Skies over the United States are the busiest in the world and sorting out take offs and landing is rather complicated at times .
It’s not a predictive measure that will come from a magic lamp or a fortune teller.
Let’s not vilify pilots or jump to conclusions.
No pilots have a desire or willingness to experience or be in those situations.
How can one predict the unpredictable?
What we can do Mr. Secretary is to reach out to pilots and ATC personnels and/ or leaders to see How we can take precautions , preventive measure and case studies to learn how such “ close calls can be prevented “ one should brainstorm, new and fresh ideas by coordinating case studies between the ATC , pilots and other experts in the airline industry.
It’s not luck . Each day(s) that has gone without a “ disaster “is a credit and an honor to our men and women in the cockpit.
