To be honest, since there were. No plane crashes, etc. Yes. If it was unskilled people, why no crashes like the this is 20 years? The bridge collapsed due to negligence of the ship crew.
I am second to none in critiquing the misdeeds or Presidents.
However, with respect to my fellow BlueSky-ers, I must calmly reject the notion that Donald Trump somehow caused a flight landing in Canada to crash absent extraordinary evidence.
Aircraft safety doesn't start just as the plane is landing. It doesn't even start when it takes off. It starts long before that, with mechanical checks, weather assessment, maintenance records and a properly staffed FAA.
However, aircraft safety has absolutely nothing to do with DEI.
He’s pretty much as responsible as anybody with respect to the mess that the US aviation system is in at the moment. He and the apartheid emerald boy are joint POTUS after all, laying waste to everything they touch, aren’t they?
It is highly unlikely that anything they did caused sever weather conditions, or affected pilot training in this specific instance.
We have many good and valid opportunities to criticize the President, but this is not a strong one - again, barring some unusual and significant evidence.
Accidents will keep happening if the US do not address the aircraft staff shortage we've been seeing since Trump started to go nuts on DEI! According to that article, it's also worth noting that Delta's subsidiaries,Endeavor Air, are not used to fly such plane.
…just as Trump and President Musk fire hundreds of air traffic controllers amid a shortfall of the positions…not long after several fatal incidents. Because, you know, THAT makes fucking sense…
Elon, the dude who is unelected and is currently dismantling our government — and doing grave damage to our country —who blows up his spaceships on a regular basis — whose Cybertruck is a disaster on wheels — wants to gain control of our airspace.
Every American should be concerned.
Is MAGA voters happy? Take a bow. MAGA voters are getting all they wished for. All wishes have consequences & trade offs. Strange why Canada suddenly happens when trump hates Canada. Dig deep on this one Canada. It could be america's fear tactics on Canada (not USA).
But what could go wrong with thousands of safety personnel for the FAA being let go so Musk can continue to break laws, endanger lives, pollute our air, and enrich himself and Trump without government oversight?
I am aware! I live amongst the morons. I don’t think we have anyone in charge. They are playing president. Not confident about my future at all. Sorry this shit has spilled over to your country. But at least you are all united.
Please enjoy your normal life!! 🫤
To Canada’s credit they apparently make tough airplanes. That’s a CRJ -900 (Canada’s Regional Jet) built by Bombardier. Hard to imagine how it could flip over and not break up in pieces.
I will be available for consultations starting tomorrow afternoon, after 2:00pm. I have a court date in Rochester for the civil suit against me. Don’t worry it’s a hoax. Those bastards don’t stand a chance against a Fulbright scholar like me.
Airline safety is woke! Fire all pilots! AI can do air traffic control so strap in you dumb poor piece of shit. Shut up & eat the 18 dollar eggs you wanted instead of a smart black woman. Get ready to lose what few rights you had because you're scared trans people exist.
Planes crashing like a screen out of a horror movie where the villan and cronies have access to computerized systems that can reek havoic. Imagination or ????
Scary stuff. I recognize how safe flying is, but I still get a little nervous when it gets bumpy. I'm always impressed with the people who seem to embrace turbulence. This one hits a little harder for me because of how much I fly with Delta. I'm relieved and thankful that everyone survived.
Trump blames everybody for everything—doesn’t need a shred of evidence just points at ppl like he’s Oprah handing out free cars. You’re the problem! But the second a plane goes down while he’s in charge? Whoa hey let’s not start pointing fingers! Really? That’s where we draw the line? Unbelievable.
Did anyone read the headline or lead-in? This happened at Toronto's Pearson airport. Nothing to do with Trump or FAA.
Most likely everything to do with the extreme weather 😟
Is it just a coincidence that there have been so many flight 'incidents' recently?
Does anyone with knowledge in the field have a theory of why this could be happening?

It’s exactly what happened.
Elon is taking control of our airspace.
Trump begins firings of FAA air traffic control staff just weeks after fatal DC plane crash

Just down the road from here.
Just sayin'
It started soon after the war in Ukraine started.
Did this flight originate in the u.s.?
Please enjoy your normal life!! 🫤
Diaper Donny got rid of "DEI" and fired the exact people we need to keep us safe while traveling by air...
