Donald Trump’s administration has begun indiscriminately culling scores of people who keep air travel safe, despite four deadly plane crashes during his first two months as president.

If any planes with people from other countries are killed, those countries should arrest him for murder. We can’t because 1) he won’t allow law enforcement to do it & 2) SCOTUS gave him presidential immunity. Americans would be forever grateful if that happens.
Let republicans fly on the planes daily, no matter how near or far they travel. They are so confident that this destruction saves billions, let them taxi to the runway, take off and land with untrained people in the towers or AI replacing all. This is insanity. WE THE PEOPLE, ONE NATION IS NO MORE‼️
THANK you. I just sat here staring into space trying to calculate how it could possibly be two months. Tho’ it certainly feels like it’s been several years.
I spent 36 years as an airline pilot and another 10 years as a Corporate pilot and another 5 years as an air transport instructor and designated FAA examiner.
The FAA is under funded, understaffed and stretched to the limit. This move will kill people.
This is one of the reasons ( there are many) we took U.S. travel off the vacation list this year. Air travel in the U.S. is going to be increasingly unsafe.
The only way he can manage is by putting out fires. Even if he sets those fires himself.
We see this all the time in big business. America is not a business, it’s a community. We need a community approach to governance not a capitalist approach.
All other nations should stall flying to the USA.
There must even be something in de FIAA-regulations *demanding* it, once air-control is proven to be understaffed, insecure.
Will DOGE demand cuts to the staff that maintains the Presidential plane? Will there be less staff in the cockpit, maintenance or those that serve him food? Would Trump fire a professional piolet and replace him/her with an unqualified loyalist? That is what he is doing to the rest of government!
PROTEST THE MAGA-DOGE COUP
Get in front of your Congressional representatives during recess. Here is a useful toolkit for presenting your concerns about the coup.

And we are actively talking with as many people (friends & family from Canada, Europe & Australia) as possible to cancel their trips to the US.

Fire the ATC, build Star Wars, reduce obsolete nukes, cut taxes
You just know he’s working on a stupid Iran/Contra thing

He’s over his head and uneducated on the 🌎 stage.
