Well shit! Sitting on a Delta plane now
Diversity. Inclusion. Equity. You can hear it in the pilot's voice.
I don’t think you guys realize how easy it is to drag a wing on those things on the ground in Strong Crosswinds. I think with the split Schimitar winglets on a 737. It’s like 6-8° of roll on landing could strike the winglet on the CRJ, It’s probably pretty similar. They are extremely low to the ground and 30 kt crosswind is no joke.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the CRJ. I have 3400 hours in that airplane and I’ve lived to tell about it

On the contrary, most here do realize the complexity of flying and the awful consequence that failure brings which is precisly why we believe DEI has absolutely no place whatsoever in pilot selection. They need to be the best at flying. Period. End of discussion.
My wife and youngest daughter went to Idaho today so my wife could visit her Mom.
Two DELTA flights. I was pretty uneasy until they made it there.
It just sucks that we are in this position. This should be priority one.

Main line Delta, or CRJ Regional? Big difference in experience in the cockpit. I agree a 30 kt crosswind with a wing that low is no joke and this probably happens more than you would guess. I use to fly DC8’s and it didn’t take much to hit an inboard engine on the ground in a strong gusty crosswind; you had to really stay on top of it. It never happened to me, but it probably happened once a year at that company. The real question is, what kind of wing spar and integrity inspection happens after such an event?
At least the didn’t fly into a commuter plane and all the doors were still in place.
Because “planes and shit…”
Sirhr

The DC8 was an unforgiving plane but it was awesome none the less
Well, there’s no evidence in this case that DEI was involved and yes, I am absolutely against DEI. I have been a victim of it. I fly with people who are benefiting from it, but not every female or every black kid or every minority whatever is a DEI higher some of them are actually really good at what they do and deserve to be where they are Now we’ve all gotten a leg up in different ways from different people at different times so you don’t discount that but the ones that do deserve it are well recognized and the ones that are lacking in are clearly just there because of their sex race color creed whatever it’s very obvious I fly with a form of former female Thunderbird pilot all the time and she is probably the best pilot I have ever flown with
The plural of anecdote is not data. “I knew a someone that…..” is a intellectually challenged argument.
DEI is a compounding error.
It’s not that women can’t be good at what they do. It’s not that there aren’t women out there who are exceptional at what they do and do it better than most men. But those are “anecdotes” in a lot of these DEI cases.
With DEI you take a group of people who are marginally qualified, and you blow smoke up their ass telling them that they shit butterflies
and fart rainbows 
. You promote them instead of other man who are much more qualified, and you fast track them into positions to meet quotas.
For a lot of these male dominated positions there is an exceedingly small pool of women applying for these jobs. So you are pulling talent from a very small pool as opposed to a much larger pool of men. Mathematically that’s problematic. Mathematically, you’re going to get lower qualified candidates with DEI.
All of these things compound the error of choosing and promoting candidates -> because they have a vagina.
We see time and time again, where women have infiltrated men male dominated jobs and standards have had to be lowered for them.
Then there is the problem of them shirking accountability, and responsibility and men around them, white-knighting/covering for them.
This lady was the Colorado cop that put the prisoner in the cop car on the railroad tracks that was subsequently hit by the train. She failed two psyche evals. at least two different agencies. She was hired by two agencies in spite of this. One age agency wisely refused to hire her because she failed theirs.

How many anecdotes does one have to have before it becomes data??
Should have unweighted the landing gear to satisfy the squat switches, raised the gear and pancaked that bitch......yeeeeehhhaaahhhh!!!!
(Do not do this)
Delta is the worst air carrier on the planet.
I'd rather fly on some third world dc3 with chickens and goats in the passenger compartment then fly delta.
It took them 36 hours to get me from Panama city Florida to corpus christi texas.
I filed a complaint about that flight, they sent me a voucher for a complimentary flight. I threw that worthless piece of shit in the trash.
If you fly delta from LAX to Tokyo, you end up with a layover in Atlanta.
No leg room for anyone over 4' 8".

No. Once you start a go around by pushing the power up and raising the nose, you are committed to that manuver. I have not seen a video as of yet and don’t know exactly when they hit the wing, before or during the go around, but it’s almost always safer to go around than try to force a botched landing.
