Sure, I get that. But when a Cabinet member makes a claim you'd think someone could ask for evidence of said claim. Or fact check it and confront the person making the claim with the discrepancy.
Only stupid fucks believe this kind of nonsense. It's been very clearly the ineptitude of the trump administration, specifically musk, and trump for giving musk permission to do it in the first place. The correlation and causation are clear. Prior to these dipshits the last crash was in Feb 2009.
This is the problem. These idiots dont really know how to work, or know how to get shit done. They know how to place blame, rile up the base, tell stories, etc.
We hired an incompetent leader - who hired a bunch of followers.
So weird how their mismanagement went undetected right up until elon fired half the FAA, who was investigating him at the time for carpet bombing texas with exploded rocket debris.
This, of course, is not the problem and just another distraction from the laziest, know nothing “leadership” ever. However, I do think it’s really rich for anyone in this regime to criticize anyone spending any amount of time on renaming things. It’s hypocrisy to the highest level.
I seem to remember an overpass in Pennsylvania and a harbor bridge in Baltimore that were repaired quickly due to the competence of the previous transportation secretary and administration. But do go on about cockpits.
Whatever Biden and Buttigieg did, Sean, seemed to work because they had no crashes on their watch. With Trump and you at the helm, it's one disaster after another. Maybe if you guys spent less time on TV bragging and blaming, things would work better.
Ok so… cockpit and flight deck are two separate things aren’t they? It’s not like an interchangeable word for the same thing, yes? Or was that comment supposed to be some crack at Buttigieg being gay and cockpits?
A cockpit/flight deck are two different things, are they not? You fly the plane inside the cockpit and on a aircraft carrier (for example) you land on the flight deck.
"The flight deck of an aircraft carrier is the surface where aircraft launch and land, essentially a miniature airfield at sea."
"It was brought to the FAA’s notice that on several occasions [men] had wielded the term ‘cockpit’ to exclude or undermine [fe]male coworkers.”
Seems reason enough to retire the term. Wouldn't take long. If it ever happened.
They have no idea what they are doing or how to accomplish this enormous overhaul. Test systems are what professionals would use to work out the bugs BEFORE putting it into production, but they are fucking idiots!
News for Duffydumbfuck--guess who fired people at the FAA and cut the budget for radar maintenance and spare parts--
it sure as hell it wasn't Biden and Buttigieg
In the military, if it happens on your watch, you own it! Besides man baby voted against a 2019 infrastructure including upgrades in air traffic control equipment when he was in the House.
Pretty sure last time we checked there weren’t planes falling into the Red Sea; Or Newark telling people not to fly in/out, during the previous administration…
“Secretary Duffy has a tough job. But he needs to spend more time doing what the American people are paying him to do — fix problems — and less time blaming others," said Chris Meagher. 🛫
Such BS. They dismissed/offered buyouts to thousands of FAA employees, including air traffic controllers, indiscriminately and without a strategy. Thus, chaos.
I just saw Duffy's speech expediting fiber optics upgrade at LaGuardia to help fix issues. Pete B said 2 wks ago they were upgrading all airports to fiber optics when he left. Doge cancelled FAA contracts 2 months ago. Duffy voted against FAA upgrades in the "do nothing for tRump" Congress
t’s really important that we remember this was NOT a problem until January 20th. We had the largest Christmas season of travel without a hitch under Biden. 2024 summer travel was smooth - and enormous. Now we have had crashes, disruptions, and other aviation mishaps nearly weekly.
All these unqualified sycophants think that blaming Biden is going to carry them for four years of service. At some point, you noobs, you’re going to have to do the job!
What a cuck. Embarrassing, emasculated clowns, the whole lot of them. He asked for this job. If he can’t cut it, hand it over to the real Alpha who can handle the heat.
When I joined the US Air Force in 1979, the name for the control center of the aircraft was called a Flight Deck not a cockpit. This phrase is NOT an invention from the 21st Century.
A fighter has a cockpit, usually for one person. A larger aircraft has a flight deck for the Flight Crew.
He's crude enough to believe that cockpit refers to male genitalia. Therefore using the term is anti DEI. A cockpit is the ring they put roosters in for fights. So using the phrase actually promotes animal abuse. Also a flight deck is larger than a cockpit. What a maroon!
And how long have we been listening to your jackasses going on & on about 'Gulf of America' & now 'Gulf of Arabia'?
You've spent more time crying about how its not your fault than you have on just focusing on fixing the damn problems. Fix it first, bitch about how it should have been done later.
Wow! The hypocrisy is off the charts! When Biden was president, the Dems tried to push a bill through congress to upgrade our air traffic control system and to hire and train more air traffic controllers. EVERY Republican voted NO.
President Truman famously had a sign on his desk that read, 'The Buck Stops Here'.
This meant that the President is in charge and the responsibility rested with him.
#Trump needs a sign that reads: 'What Buck? I Know Nothing About a Buck. I Don't Take Responsibility. It's Someone Else's Fault."
Passing the blame as usual for his own failures. Biden would run laps around you when it comes to being a good President, your nothing but a lying con man!

Buttigieg Calls For FAA Computer Upgrades
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has joined the chorus of industry leaders calling on Congress for more money for the FAA. Buttigieg told Reuters legislators need to “pick up the pace”.
Fix it? He looks like the guy in a dive bar whose aim is so bad he hits patrons with the darts. The public that uses air travel is being held hostage here.
Will he ever answer why felon Trump didn't fix it between the years 2017-2020 or was he just too busy running for re-election in 2020 and planning the side dish of sedition?
he is full of shit that’s the republican party that’s trump and this administration he needs to know what the hell he’s talking about before posting and telling the truth be nice though the republican party ain’t capable of doing that!
Who in the world would go and work for these freaks after Musk and his chainsaw and the juvenile DOGE boys levied threats and made this mess? Good luck, you morons.
Where I come from, someone is a real horse's ass who spends more time trying to shift blame for his own faults than he does in actually showing what he's doing to fix those faults
Only adults should be put in charge of tough jobs & work and NOT MAGAs
The media keeps covering their lies as if it's credible info, shitler keeps suing them, while faux news could e.g. "walk out on to 5th Avenue and 🔫 someone w/o any repercussion." And @1/2 the country couldn't see facts if spelled out in their alphabet cereal, if they could afford the cereal. Sicknng
There is more ridiculous name calling in this administration than the collective action of 3rd graders in America.
They need to look up the definition of accountability on Google & turn into respectable adults.
Yeah, well, planes weren’t crashing and airports weren’t basically shut down due to staffing-because you fired a bunch of ATCs-when PB was running transportation.
Does this really work on people? We didn’t have our first commercial airplane crash in decades until Trump was President. We didn’t have reported outages of critical FAA systems until Trump was President! No other president let an unelected South African fire air traffic controllers!
Yes, it does. This weekend I read social media comments saying he was doing a "marvelous job" and others talking about the "big mess he has to clean up."
Comments
Gonna need some citations there, Real World. Hand em over.
You'd think 🤦♂️
Let's just saying that this might be true,I don't remember this many aircraft incidents while they had the reins.
Why is that?
Oh...the deep state.
We hired an incompetent leader - who hired a bunch of followers.
You get what you pay for, and we are fucked.
And now they’re gonna fix it? Psshhh.
We all know It’s the same damn story for every stupid thing they do. They wreck it & it’s Bidens fault & now they’re gonna fix it.
Morons 🙄

This is a science fact!
Things weren't so significantly broken when we had the old administration in place, but you would think it was catastrophic according to them.

Don't worry, we know it's cause you're lying your ass off and it's 💯 your problem.

It works

It works
Trump is President- clearly it works
Fuck what maga thinks. we're not winning their votes anyway.
If I was a betting man, I would place ANY money on you or the Orange Turd to helping or even improving what existed when you took the job.
