Sources Claim Delta Crash Pilot Was a Woman Who Only Got Certified a Month Ago

   This is what I also hear from friends inside the company. I’m told that she was the F/O who landed it. My question would be why did the Captain allow her to land on a challenging runway which appeared covered with snow. I would have allowed her to watch me and add it to her experience bucket.

   But I have to say that seeing these cheeky TikTok videos of all woman crews and making PA’s telling the passengers they are on an “unmanned” flight strikes me as extremely unprofessional and distressingly prideful. Of course this is a prescription for a safety incident or worse an all out accident which did occur. For these videos to have been posted tells me that Endeavor Air (not Delta) has a broken safety culture.

   The pilot behind the dramatic Delta crash that flipped a plane upside down at Toronto Pearson Airport has been identified as 26-year-old First Officer Kendal Swanson.

   A Minnesota beauty pageant winner who completed her training just last April with under 1,500 flight hours.

   The more experienced captain, James Henneman, was handling communications as Swanson piloted during the crash.
