Meaning that there are planes in the air and nobody on the ground knows their exact height/ position.
Presumably only TCAS (which only a percentage of planes have) preventing collisions.
The only thing that is new at Newark Liberty International Airport (and the surrounding airspace managed by Philadelphia TRACON) is the testing of Starlink by Elon Musk’s SpaceX under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is a newly established agency under the Trump administration.
There is no way a human should be made to endure the stress of this. ATCs get paid pennies and have thousands of lives in their hands. All while working with an infrastructure held together by bubblegum.
They are going to eff around, and we are going to experience another horrific crash. The entire gop will be to blame for letting that feeble-minded mutherfuxxker in the white-house along with elon musk to dismantle systems they have been working for many decades.
He didn’t! He asked for $$ for upgrades to FAA and the REPUBLICANS shot him down! it 100% on them! And they are targeting an airport that supports 3 Blue states and an airline that supports DEI
Yep. And when I try to cross into Canada now, I have to pass through US border patrol’s new one lane 5h inspection linr where they search your car and check your docs BEFORE you approach Canadian customs to LEAVE the US. They’re trying to trap us here.

Don’t.
Outdated copper wires, floppy disks, and chronic understaffing are endangering travelers and controllers
Trump, Duffy & FAA’s fix is too slow
Demand action now
Shutdown EWR?
