"Chanin did point out that there are more than 600 police officers in Oakland, and most of them do a good job." When we talk about bad apples, it's because there is data. I bet you a lot more of them knew about it but kept quiet.

Seems bad in many ways.

Oh I 100% believe you and it is deeply horrific to contemplate!!! good work on this though now I’m going to sleep more poorly lol

I have always found it weird that even military pilots do not have to have FAA licenses. That is less of a concern given the rigor of the military training pipeline. But it’s not zero concern. Military aircraft still fly in civilian airspace and interact with civilian aircraft and controllers.

like if you are a gov't operator, you technically don't have to have an FAA pilot certificate of any kind even if in practice no agency (that I know of) actually allows that

Do you think this sort of corruption may have been behind some fatal helicopter crashes these past few years?

INSTRUCTORS?!

Were the officers ex-military pilots or something (“I did that in Army bro trust me”), or did they not have that kind of training at all ever?

it's also worth noting that ADS-B data played an important role in proving this fraud this is a good reminder of how ADS-B data and transparency in government aviation operations is critical for oversight and accountability
