A culture of incompetence

The entire CoC that signed off on this training mission should be held accountable and face some measure of impactful repercussions.

Whatever the case, there certainly was a coordinated DoD/MSM coverup about this pilot’s social media history. The Lobach Effect, similar to the Streisand Effect, is now at play here.
The Army’s seemingly preferential treatment in “protecting” the privacy of Lobach has not only brought more attention to Lobach’s background, it has fostered suspicions that the investigation may be tainted because the Army is trying to hide something in Lobach’s background. It is the Army — NOT online speculation — that has politicized Lobach’s background.
The Army’s Special Treatment of Capt. Rebecca Lobach | Favoritism Inevitably Draws Scrutiny: The Army’s Special Treatment of Capt. Rebecca Lobach Fuels Speculation and Dishonors all Who Perished in the Recent DC Air Collision
…
On Saturday the U.S. Army released the name of the second pilot—reported to have been pilot in command — of the Blackhawk helicopter that collided with American Airlines flight 5342 over the Potomac River, killing 67 people. This was a marked departure from Army policy that states “Names, city, and state of deceased will be withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification.”
This was the standard process used to identify the other two members of the Army’s flight crew, Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, and Staff Sgt. Ryan O'Hara. It is the same process used to identify soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan — a process I followed as a military public affairs officer for over 20 years. Army public affairs officials followed the same procedures to publicly identify soldiers who died in not-too-distant helicopter crashes in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alaska.
Yet, in an unusual deviation, the Army selectively withheld Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach’s identity for an additional two days. When her name was finally released over the weekend, the Army included a family statement of eulogy that praised Lobach and requested privacy. Army officials claim that violating its own rules was done to respect Lobach’s family’s wishes, but that decision casts an unnecessary shadow over her service and memory.
If the Army wanted to lessen the grief suffered by Capt. Lobach’s family, it used the worst tactics possible. Those who deliberately hid, and are hiding, information from public view activated the Streisand Effect, drawing further attention to what they want to hide. Unfortunately, such malpractice is characteristic of the Army’s public affairs apparatus at top levels.
The Army’s public affairs code of "Maximum Disclosure, Minimum Delay" is often cited but never enforced. This is a well-known problem that refuses to self-correct. It will demand attention from the Pentagon’s new leadership to force a solution.
This sets a precedent that will make the jobs of commanders, public affairs officers, and casualty notification officers more difficult going forward. Regulations lose legitimacy when selectively enforced.

If so, she took care of that situation permanently for herself. Unfortunately, a lot of additional souls got to be included.

I found this tidbit intresting as well . I had not heard this before today. Possibly explains the delay in releasing her name. Optics damage control in action.

I'm confused how that works. He gives her multiple commands that went unfollowed. Why didn't he act? Doesn't he have controls as well?
Posted on 4/27/25 at 2:28 pm to Crimson Wraith
I guessing this was a suicide.

If true, that's 100% on the male instructor. WTF was he thinking?

Correct. At the end of the day it’s hard to blame the female 100% here when there was an instructor that could have taken over if he felt it was truly needed
