The first officer of Delta Plane who crashed in Toronto, was hired in 2024, revealed by new details – The Times of India

Between the allegations Delta Airlines On Monday, the details of the delta aircraft pilots crashed on the snow -covered Termac at the Toronto Pearson Airport are hiding the details. Airlines revealed new information about pilots, Fox News dismissed speculation that they were not trained adequately or they failed in training events – claims that are viral on social media. Delta, however, did not reveal the names of the pilots, although it did not compete with social media claims that the captain was James and the first officer was Kendal Swanson,
The airline said the captain was hired by Mesaba Airlines in October 2007 and an active duty captain and pilot was worked in training and safety capabilities. In 2012, Mesaba Airlines was merged with Pinnacle Airlines and Endeavor Air. The delta aircraft that crashed and turned upside down was operated by Delta’s subsidiary Endeavor Air. Endeavor is known for its push for gender diversity and after the accident, social media users claimed that the accident occurred as it was an all -woman crew.
Without addressing the rumors of the gender directly, Delta proved it wrong because it was claimed that the captain was a male. The airline said in a statement about the captain, “It claims that he has failed in training events. It claims that he failed to flow into a pilot position in delta air lines due to training failures.”
Regarding the first officer, Delta said that she claims that the training program has failed. Endeavor Air hired the first officer in January 2024 and has been flying with the airline since completing her training in April. His flight experience exceeded the time minimum federal requirements, the airline said without disclosing the name, but it was probably about Kendall Swansan.
The airline said that both the captain and the first officer are “qualified and FAA certified for their positions.”
No confusion was reported, but Delta announced that it would offer $ 30,000 to each of the victims.
