This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning systems on airplanes, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future
Tap for spoiler

...should we hire more tower administators, and look into the epstein files?....
Remind us who cut funding to FAA?
This is Joe Biden s fault. I don't mean he cut funding or anything like that, I mean he was literally flying the other plane. It was full of woke trans immigrants headed to Texas so Democrats can get more votes while simultaneously rigging the election.
Obama was copilot? Smoking crack in the back in his tan suit? With Dijon mustard?

Fuck Jimmy Dore, he turned against the queers. Last I saw a video of him interviewing with some bad-faith transmedicalist harassing people at pride acting all innocent like "I'm just asking questions" - his loud mouth was good as 2016 was going down but of course loudmouths don't always know when to shut it.
Yeah Jimmy Dore fucks around with Alex Jones. They can both go to hell

This ain't no shitpost.
You have to admit it'd be pretty shitty to run into another airplane in the sky though?

stuff like this is why i'm lowkey terrified of flying also this isn't a shitpost
So you'd rather stick to the ground, where you can't dive to avoid an oncoming vehicle?
Yeah, shitpost needs some better moderation. Shitpost has literally just become post whatever you want. And if that's what it is, I guess that's what it is, but the term "shitpost" to me had always been someone coming and derailing serious threads with nonsense opinions, unrelated pics, etc. So silly trolling.
This post is a picture of a tweet about a near mid-air collision. Unless the second plane was just fucking around, shitflying as they say, I don't know that it qualifies for the low, low bar that is shitposting.

Put your fking seatbelts on. All the time.
TCAS is working overtime to make up for the years of neglecting the FAA.
TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.
Once the flight smoothed out, Ulasewicz, who was traveling to Las Vegas, said the pilot made an announcement indicating the plane used software to avoid a midair collision.
Apparently it was right before catering service and well into AP flight. As a europoor I only master Airbus so I don’t know how a 737 is supposed to respond to a TA/RA.
Let’s wait for better sources than twitter and nbc.

Sitting in an airport right now. Great.
And this is why I don't fly anymore. It was never an enjoyable experience (except takeoff. Wee!!) and now it's even less worth it.
Now I find myself having a depressed opinion on the lack of train options.
