But, here\u2019s more detail on the Delta flight crash.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Note: I AM NOT AN AVIATION EXPERT.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Sources name the pilot and co-pilot of the Delta Airlines fight (operated by regional airline Endeavor) that crashed in Canada.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The two pilots were Captain Jim Henneman and First Officer Kendall Swanson (who was allegedly piloting\/flying the plane.)<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Sources are reporting that Henneman had worked at Endeavor for years before, before moving up to Delta, but had trouble in training and was sent back to Endeavor.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Kendall Swanson, 26, had just received her airline transport pilot certificate six weeks prior to the accident.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201c Swanson&#8217;s type rating in the CRJ is subject to pilot in command limitations due to the restricted ATP. She was new to the job, but she was hired a year earlier.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s unclear why it took a year to get type rated in the crj. It could be just a matter of paperwork. One report says that the year discrepancy is due to a recent change of address that reset the clock on the certificate.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">So it&#8217;s unclear whether she had been flying for six weeks or flying for a year. And the confusing thing about that is that would mean she&#8217;s been a full year on the restricted ATP, that she hadn&#8217;t gotten to the 1500 hours.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">As far as the type rating, traditionally it takes a person two months to get type rated and then another two to four weeks of on the line training called IoE or initial operating experience. Some airlines just call it OE operating experience. An OE is usually conducted with a check airman or a training captain.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">If Swanson was just six weeks into it, she was either still in OE or just out of it. Now, if she&#8217;d been flying for a year, it does change things, but flying 500 hours in a year is easily done.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Source: Taking off news<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thelucyshow1\/status\/1893099255822459394?s=43&amp;t=NipKy21fekvPoZS5MA8-lQ\"><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"border:1px solid #ccd6dd; border-radius: 12px;\" width=\"500\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px;\" height=\"12\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"18\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px; min-width: 18px;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"464\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td width=\"48\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thelucyshow1?s=43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/1822517693846831104\/Wnx7Gh1j_normal.jpg\" style=\"border-radius: 50%; padding: 0px;\" height=\"48\" width=\"48\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"8\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px; min-width:8px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ea.twimg.com\/email\/self_serve\/media\/spacer.png\" width=\"8\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"middle\" width=\"388\" style=\"min-width: 388px;\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" width=\"388\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" width=\"388\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thelucyshow1?s=43\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; color: #292c2f; text-decoration: none;\">Lucy<\/a><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thelucyshow1?s=43\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; color: #7e8c98;\">\u2066\u202a@TheLucyShow1\u202c\u2069<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ea.twimg.com\/email\/self_serve\/media\/logo_twitter-1497383721365.png\" height=\"20\" width=\"24\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"9\" colspan=\"4\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height:0px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ea.twimg.com\/self_serve\/media\/spacer_464x1-1582829598167.png\" width=\"464\" height=\"1\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, san-serif;color: #292c2f; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; text-decoration: none;\">Okay this is a long one.
