Seems unlikely. I would think that if it was a personnel problem, then Boeing would welcome the distraction from their issues.

I'd say a systemic flight control issue seems extremely unlikely on the 767 after so many hours of service |
Further, if the NTSB suspected an aircraft problem, they almost certainly would have said something publicly about it by now, Keeping quiet could put other aircraft at risk which is completely contrary to the NTSB's purpose.

Is it racist if it is true? Do you not see the irony in your statement that diversity hire policies have left many good hires on the outside looking in, e.g. on the street? If there were no hires based on diversity but simply on flight experience and competency, then it would not be an issue. You can blame racism all you want, but the facts are the facts.

Since this thread has run the gamut from pilot input issues to structural failure, I just thought I would pose the question. Thanks for your post. |
The F/O previously worked for TWA. As I understand it he left there in 1990.

You guys apparently know something about the ethnic background of the FO...why is it relevant? Where do you guys get this info? Is the HR dept applying affirmative action? Why doesn’t the ntsb publish something 35+ days after the accident? Is the fbi involved? Is that the reason? If the NTSB doesn‘t get facts and communication perfectly right, they will have the PC media tearing them apart. This is a minefield these days ... |

when he was 17 yrs old? |
If the FO was incompetent, then is it possible that he was hired not to meet a racial quota, but because US carriers at the moment are in a desperate shortage.
From what I understand regional airlines are taking pilots with 1500hrs and a pulse or otherwise are parking aircraft. Is Atlas in the same situation? I'm not sure but they don't strike me as being the most highly regarded carrier, and they are in a state of large expansion with the Amazon deal. If they were at the point of an applicant shortage then I don't think they would care what race or gender a pilot was. Maybe they got to the stage where they would take any pilot who met the legal minimums, regardless of competence? |

EDIT: The person who had been let go by TWA was the captain of UPS 1354. Sorry for the confusion. |
The FO was reportedly 45, as I previously posted (but my post was silently censored for reasons that are not clear to me)

where is report for atlas 767?
what has happened to this report ?
|
Apparently, something happended that is beyond anyone’s imagination. Right now, the ntsb does not consider the events as having any safety concern. Read about it in this thread. |
Because it’s cargo? |
They’ve got the FDR and CVR so what’s the delay on more info ? |
I'd be willing to bet Atlas has some lobbyist trying to delay the preliminary report as long as possible.
