Sounded like a man was PIC, woman co-pilot, and at the controls for the landing.  She was inexperienced.  Whether DEI played any role in her being hired is unclear, but the PIC probably should have taken over before the impact was unavoidable.

American Airlines flight returns to gate over passenger hotspot name

Quote
The security issue occurred last Friday on American Airlines Flight 2863 scheduled to fly from Austin, Texas, to Charlotte, North Carolina.

According to a Reddit user who said they were on the plane, the hotspot was named "I have a bomb," or something similar. The Reddit user said the police claimed the issue was caused by a passenger playing a prank.

Quote
Austin police told Fox News Digital that following the alert, the plane returned to the gate, where police conducted a sweep of the plane and baggage, looking for explosives.

"All passengers were deplaned and re-screened by the Transportation Security Administration prior to being allowed to board again," a police spokesperson said.

Sounds like a frustrating prank but they got away with it.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

2025 is not looking like a good year for air travel. This was a very near miss -- kudos to the alertness of the Southwest flight crew.

I don't know when this happened.  Sounds like a memorable landing (without a crash at least).

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
