But Trump DOES know that he cut the FAA safety commission and froze FAA hiring just days ago and caused the FAA administrator to resign because he pissed off Elon Musk last year.

None of those things contributed to this specific incident though. I hate the man but they should focus on him immediately blaming DEI with no information whatsoever and call it the racist sexist dog whistle that it is

stlcatfishmike.bsky.social•22 days ago

None of them huh

aitne.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes the workforce wouldn’t feel the effects of a hiring freeze until several years down the road

reply

stlcatfishmike.bsky.social•22 days ago

Not if they’re already understaffed and actively hiring. The first we know to be true and the second is likely. If you have 1 ATC doing the work of 2 someone should be in the interview process already

reply

aitne.bsky.social•22 days ago

Sure but it takes years to train a controller and NATCA has been yelling that we need more controllers since all the Reagan hires started retiring under Obama. ATC staffing levels are a failure across the political spectrum

reply

stlcatfishmike.bsky.social•21 days ago

That’s certainly the case. So take that baseline and add the chaos and out and out hostility of the last two weeks. There is no way you force out the director and email “buyout” offers to everyone and you’ve pulled out the last jenga piece

reply

stlcatfishmike.bsky.social•22 days ago

What makes you think none of those things contributed? He’ll simply “leading to frustration and a max attitude towards job duties”. “Creating a chaotic atmosphere” “minimizing accountability”. All of that shit. You know what can’t have any confusion and chaos? air traffic control

Also, remember that Trump's own statements and social media postings have opened the door for the Dems to be loud on this point.

Trump told the press the DC crash is a result of DEI hires. What? Asked how he knew this, his response was “ Common Sense”.

What??

No pushback.

Former head of FAA resigned 1/20 @ Musk’s badgering. No one filled the vacancy.

Rocheleau appointed Post crash.

0 from Dems/ MSM
What the fuck

eileennjflns.bsky.social•22 days ago

Actually a reporter did question the asinine assertion from the Felon that the crash was related to dei.. We need more.

Democrats have to learn how to do propaganda. Blaming Trump for the mid-air collision is a good start. You know the right would have done it if Biden were President. You have to be relentless because, when it comes to Republicans, the ends justify the means.

Trump literally signed an executive order saying A Woke Boi Did It And Ran Away, which is not how EOs work but that doesn’t matter! He’s spinning! Stomp on the fucker’s neck, you drips!

Completely agree. That would be to adapt to the fight and overcome the lawless aggressor/fascists who play by no laws/rules. Expose their incompetence LOUDLY. The losing game towards 2026-28 is to continue the passive game of defense with blind faith in institutions and divine belief in civility.

American public should stop trusting commercial flying as the President first announced that many air traffic controllers are incompetent DEI hires and they caused Collision over the Potomac. Per President Trump, flying is Russian roulette, until all DEI Air Traffic Controllers are replaced.

The FAA chief might have been fired at Musk's behest for putting a moratorium on SpaceX Starship launches because they've been exploding and causing property damage. Petulant children with learning disabilities are in charge and it's only going to get worse.
