I wasn't going to say anything, because I know my bias, until reports were forthcoming about Endeavor's "unmanned crew" Delta flight wot landed bellyup in Toronto. 17 February.
Any "womens' opportunity network", or other "protected" resource-group which can do things just as well as any pale male, is going to be under a microscope when something goes wrong. I'm going to buck my usual bias and say that in this case, I'm not blaming the pilot or crew. Annoyingly longhouse as they were.
Some commenters suspect a midair stall. We are dealing here with the North American Great Lakes in midFebruary. This is lake-effect on the ground, and a higher latitude than even our own "Windy City" (Chicago). I do not believe that an all-male crew of peak performers could have landed this beast with ease.
So no: to paraphrase Good Will Hunting, it was not her fault. The decisions were made elsewhere than in the cabin.
Now: although the "unmanned crew" wasn't to blame, that they made such a Tiktok of it all before now, introduced a factor into the decisionmaking. Consider 9/11. Anyone in the decision tree had to think, "if I block this flight, is HR going to talk to me about blocking Opportunities". If he's liberal there's no way he's standing in the way. If she's alt-right, she of course has not revealed her power level, but... she's thinking: "they bought their ticket".
