Retired Senior Enlisted

Good to hear a very senior retired Flag have some deference to the conditions under which the Flight Deck crews work as contributing factors to a mishap. Helps to think through effective mitigation. Very level headed - hope someone gives thought to bringing in a voice like Adm Stav to help maintain “course and speed” when it truly matters. His voice has the fides to speak to the center and would help reframe the thought process on the right.
Not so middle anymore

You weren’t just praising

You were not just celebrating the aviators. Why couldn’t you speak with the caller about level of military force and capabilities maintained by the USA? That would have been a five star.
