BREAKING: Two planes nearly collided on the runway at Chicago’s Midway Airport thanks to King MuskTrump gutting the FAA & freezing flight control hiring. You are not safe to travel under Trump. And TODAY the House is voting to strip healthcare from 82M Americans!!! #DontCutOurMedicaid - ThreadSky

The next SpaceX Elon Musk rocket extravaganza is this Friday, a little sooner than expected now that Musk controls the FAA.

@aoc.bsky.social can we get an FAA-wide strike in the works, leading up to when the government shuts down in 3 weeks… with conditions such as hands-off-Medicaid? Maybe a nationwide strike? People would listen to you. Can’t say the same for much of anyone else right now.

I doubt this is due to manpower shortage or lack of training for controllers, but it could be related to falling moral related to gutting at the FAA and elsewhere.

Yes, but Category A and B runway incursions were reduced dramatically in 2024 compared to 2023. Just 7 in 2024 compared to 22 in 2023. IMO today's incursion appears to be Category A because it required the landing aircraft to abort landing at the last second.
