re: PoliBoard Scoop? Nope, I was wrong about pilot's identity.

Unless you think women shouldn't be pilots, this doesn't strike me as "bad" DEI.

Lil more left rudder and add a little power next time, Kendall

I would be surprised if she was the pilot in question, based on her hire date among other things.

her flying days are over she's cute but she's lucky she didn't kill herself.

sometimes an accident is just that.
now if it can be proven she was hired over others just for being a female that is another story.
all women driving jokes aside. training and merit count-male, female, black, white, brown, purple, orange.
maybe don't hire imbeciles that HATE America like a demon would .
weather and wind. women drivers aren't all bad.

Did she extend her flaps on approach ?

Second worst Auburn alum at their job behind Lloyd Austin

If this is her she doesn't seem to be a rookie.

Agreed. May have been the transgender helo pilot that erbody pre-blamed for the Potomac crash.

No, and someone remaining a First Officer for going on 4 years at a regional airline in this hiring climate is highly unusual to say the least. I am skeptical.

If you have time, please explain. Again, I think there's a chance that the crash was unavoidable (jet engines take a while to spool up...although I agree about left rudder....), so I hope she doesn't get hounded.
I would hate to be mistaken. I was just going on strong evidence that FO's first name was Kendal, then I expanded the photo that WizardSleeve had posted here...with a name tag.

Damn barners.

I’m not going to hate on the pilot. The last thing she wanted to do was crash the plane.
She’s a victim of the system which is trying to rush pilots through and even more so if you check certain boxes. This shite is happening everywhere.

Just Google her name plus pilot.

Thanks. Will check it. Proper spelling of first name. You might be right.
Posted on 2/19/25 at 3:38 pm to bhtigerfan
A quick Google search brings up a lot more for Swanson then Higdon in regards to social media. I’d think whoever it was would have deleted as much as they could, but if they didn’t do anything wrong maybe not?

It was avoidable. The engines don’t take that long to spool up. She fixated on aim point and controlling the aircraft in a crosswind that was close to the limits and just didn’t flare. When the wind is that strong and gusty you carry extra speed so the engines would have already been making power. If she recently switched to the 900 from the 200 that could be a factor. They land very differently because the 200 doesn’t have slats. The approach pitch attitude on the 200 is nose down because of the lack of slats and therefore the site picture is different in the round out and flare. I want to know why the captain didn’t intervene. She will likely be retrained and captain downgraded.
