Once more unto the breach

Someone has to say it.  There's no way the 74 Pilot Kelsey is a racist or misogynist if you look at all his other videos, nor is he anti air traffic control as a matter of course - he's maybe too evenhanded.  Yet there've been a few incidents along the way of him running into a certain type - I reserve for myself the right to speak out on that type if lives are in danger, to hell with PCness.

And that type is always a woman, always of a certain type - you hear it instantly in her voice and manner.

Firstly, the airport is LAX, which I know well from the 90s, I also know of the mountains which form a half ring or chord a short distance from the spread out city [not unlike Vancouver] and I also know they are much higher than many people suppose - in short, a takeoff where the plane heads east inland is always going to be fraught - they usually first fly out over the water.  The two airlines involved are Canadian and EVA [Taiwan].

A core issue is that there are areas where women on the whole [some exceptions obviously] are not competent - e.g. front line fighting, flying planes, anything where sudden calls need to be made based on the vast experience of a lifetime.

Part of it is that they have not been in that job all their lives, they've therefore had to fight prejudice, e.g. mine right now in these specific fields and so their minds cannot be free to just do the job as second nature.  

On top of that, there is feminism - 'I can do anything a man can but better', yet self-doubt gnaws, and anxiety manifests in often belligerent special pleading and victimhood. Those things might not result in death or mayhem in day to day life but in a life and death situation, outside her natural metier, they are plain deadly.  Women prefer certain professions, not others, unless cajoled into them or else they have to prove themselves to themselves.

Compounding this is that the Narrative demands that she’s just as capable as any of the other 97 genders and so has no special support there for when she messes up.

The worst is when such a woman is caught out. It's an old adage that a woman defends by attacking and attacks by sudden, sweet surrenders.  It's so true.  That ATC knew she was beyond her limits and so snapped at seasoned pilots in the air, as if she were automatically right [woman can never officially be wrong, remember].  

There is no place for that guff in the air.

One of the issues in her case is spatial awareness.

In Russia, I did an exercise with the girls of groups 401 and 402 which was interesting. I'd drawn a large map of a town, river, bridge, industrial estate and a few other features - the idea was giving directions in English as if she, in each case, were on the phone to the driver [pre-GPS].

The 01 and 02 groups, as you might suppose, were the top language groups.  Don’t think I need go any further into the results.  There was much laughter on their part, but their English was good and so I praised that instead. The following week, I ran a short oral test on pointing left and right - quite revealing.  

Let's get the caveats out of the way - of course we can find many males also incapable of ATC, plus incapable of the things females are good at - style and movement, detail, nuances, fabric, languages - things boys just blunder through and either don’t notice or forget.

Incompetent males do not get those jobs, they’re not promoted.  But under diversity, females do get those jobs and are heavily supported.  I'd take a guess that in LAX, this would have been a black woman of little experience.  Deadly.

Now before anyone goes apoplectic, think of it from the pilots' point of view.  For a start, they're being directed into a mountain, they’re getting conflicting advice, at which she takes umbrage. And that is the killer thing with women of this age and type - they get rattled and auto-attack.  When did you last hear one say 'mea culpa'?

If we're going to be evenhanded for this crazy political  reason of equality in all things, what's the N1 fault of the male?  Overconfidence, arrogance, e.g. gunning that car past its limit, tending to gross motor coordination solutions rather than finesse:

Now a confession about myself and I'm not the only one - poor on detail which happens not to be interesting to the average male.  If a lady says to me, "Well, have you thought about what I said four days ago?" I usually start the fishing expedition, to her sigh of annoyance. “Er, give me a hint.” “I’ll give you more than a hint, you *&£#£&*.” And woe be unto any man who says, breezily, "You say so many things, dear, it’s hard to know that to which you refer."

What I'm saying in this post is that people really should be in jobs they are naturally suited to, and that applies far more crucially the more the job involves life or death calls.  If I’m a passenger in a plane or, let’s say, dependent on those on the bridge deck of a ship or perhaps crossing a bridge in Florida designed by raving feminists, the last thing I need is perma-anxiety about who’s flying the thing or whom the ATC is, who’s sailing, who’s designing, where political considerations govern recruitment.

And there are also ethnic temperaments. An Italian is going to react differently to a situation to a dry, phlegmatic Anglo.  Can you imagine a blunt Anglo like Bear Grills painting the Sistine Chapel?  Have you been on a train in Spain or in India?  Over here, the killer is jobsworthism.

Horses for courses inspires confidence.  Politically enforced artificial constructs do not.  Apart from Biden, who’s the worst very public incompetent on the American stage right now?  Heels Up, yes?
