He’s already gotten rid of the inspectors that were investigating the problems he has with SpaceX. And now it looks like he thinks he can redirect all those finances into a private corporation so he can make money off air traffic. He will not improve safety. And yes, it would be disastrous.
This guy has absolutely no background in systems, much less the ATC system that has served us well for many years. Which is why he can be convinced it’s broken and can be replaced in 3-1/2 years. Why don’t we just tank the airline industry and everyone can ride bikes. At least we can fulfill MAHA
I doubt he knows anything at all about software development. I doubt anyone in this regime does. Developing requirements for a system that complex and factoring in safety will necessarily take years. Not 3-4 years.
"duffy", whoever the fuck that is, can hope for magic unicorns or whatever the fuck they want but the reality is you need human beings to do air traffic control, and they require wages to perform those roles.
there's no techno fix for this shit and anyone telling you otherwise is selling snakeoil.
Why can't Trump just slap his name on something that's working and then leave it alone? We'll call it Don-Air. He doesn't have to burn the system to the ground and build his own shoddy version.
He's mentally ill. That's why what he does makes no sense. He's a psychopath and a sociopath. We keep trying to make rational reasons out of his words and actions, and that's a fool's errand. Psychopaths are not rational. Sociopaths are not kind and do not have good intentions.
"Brand new" ....meaning all white far-right leaning men who voted for mr orange and lick his boots on a daily basis, in every role. That's literally all he's doing to every department.
Aw, don't be cynical. Hope is nice--hope is a good thing! And hope it's not really even necessary, everybody knows software is always delivered on-time and fully functional.
We’ve been actively building one for over a decade, exhaustively testing it and slowly implementing parts of it in a carefully-planned rollout schedule.
He’s gonna throw that out and build one himself in 3-5 years, I guess.
Oh and X was down all day yesterday I guess. No problem.
At the expense of airlines going bankrupt, airline crashes, and total employment disruption. Not including the illegal non-compete contract with Musk. I hope Duffy flies commercial flights during those “three and a half to four years”, with his family.
Oh, that's absolutely cute if they think such a complex system can be procured off-the-shelf and implemented in that time, much less a custom-written one.
Weird, because before Musk/Duffy, the new system was set to be delivered much earlier.
Now they want to restart the whole process with, surprise surprise, SpaceX. No procurement process or competing bids, of course. They'd probably call that woke.
Oh, but it 𝗶𝘀 about efficiency! Specifically, efficiency as it applies to looting. Getting rid of all those pesky competitors so they don't have to actually try, they can just shovel money into their own pockets

Well, gahdamn. That’s a hell of a plan, innit?
Had a trip planned for April to see my dad and am driving 18 hrs instead of flying.
Do not fly for at least 3 to 3 1/2 years
There's two types of people willing to work in this admin: corrupt and stupid (with some overlap).
The corrupt ones are just grifting. The stupid ones are convinced they're brilliant.
Neither will change even if you show them their plans won't actually work.)

Really?
Shiny objects.
'Concept of a plan' nonsense.

Of course with this group of nimrods they would hire Elon to do it and he would make a worse version of trains with RGB lights on the track.
Nevermind, wait until there's adults in charge to start the rail

Lara Barbie live on tv…
People should be kissing Mumps’ feet
Other than the fact that Co-president Musky fired all the people…

can you take parachutes on as hand luggage?
So many freedoms to choose how you will die in Trump's America. Fu**ing great, isn't it?

It’s a rough analogy, but you know the old cars in Havana? It’s similar to that.
Huge testament to the people in the FAA & specifically ATC that the system runs as well as it does.
Also: there is no organization I’d trust less with this than Elon’s.

Meanwhile…..we are supposed to feel safe with air travel?

Huh, maybe this isn't about efficiency and waste.
Well you'll be safe then.
