They were understaffed before the big dump

seized the People’s House.

The FAA has been complaining for decades about a lack of candidates. How does this help keep our skies safe?

artisticmurals.bsky.social•74 days ago

FDT! With the exception of medical emergencies, all airline, air cargo and airport employees need to strike nationwide! Not one more life should be lost due to Trump’s stupidity! When all air traffic control operations are fully staffed w US certified AT controllers, return 2 work! End the madness!

iahflier.bsky.social•75 days ago

I would NOT fly, if I were you!
And.. if I were an air traffic controller, I would walk off the job and let Trump direct air traffic… he wants to do everything else.

littlepricklypear.bsky.social•75 days ago

I agree and think it’s a great strategy. Certainly better than anything coming from the dems. F em. They think they can shut it down? Let’s get in front of it and do it for real. Maybe CEOs of airlines, shareholders, union leaders etc would all get off their ass and do something.

righttostand.bsky.social•74 days ago

Alright airline company CEOs, do your job and file a lawsuit to the Trump Administration to stop this madness. Keep our airways safe for everyone's sake. #getfedup

sp3cial.bsky.social•75 days ago

WTF!

bruingirldata.bsky.social•75 days ago

Does not seem wise with multiple recent crashes but I’m sure they’ve got a plan 🙄

Including secret service.

ve5iv.bsky.social•75 days ago

All or nothing yup.

novamatters.bsky.social•74 days ago

Why aren’t you showing the protests around the country?

chicago-girl.bsky.social•75 days ago

He would like replace with computers with AI replacing humans. This will not go well

globalsecuritysme.bsky.social•75 days ago

I am 100% certain he is the Antichrist. Read Revelations. He matches it perfectly! No wonder the Christian White Nationalists love him. They think he’ll usher in Tribulations and they’ll be raptured. Fucking nutjobs!

peacelovegaga.bsky.social•74 days ago

Can my husband decline business travel by plane? I don’t want him flying anymore!

amandasorcerer.bsky.social•74 days ago

Like I said, ZERO common sense. They are fucking idiots.

belllena52.bsky.social•74 days ago

Their ignorance takes my breath away

shytiger6.bsky.social•74 days ago

There has already been a huge increase in aircraft incidents just in the last few weeks since Trump fired the head of the FAA, now he is firing the FAA workers...

lefwin.bsky.social•75 days ago

That'll show them to not investigate Musk.

ebonette5.bsky.social•75 days ago

Fly at your own risk.

coconutlizard.bsky.social•74 days ago

Can we fly safely at all? Maybe drive to Canada for vacation? 🇨🇦

daveo9000.bsky.social•75 days ago

And we’re up to what, five airplane crashes under that rapist in chiefs administration so far?

saneman.bsky.social•75 days ago

Wake up and smell the disaster America!

hwobserves.bsky.social•75 days ago

How about a plane trip. Anybody? Anybody?

yoursinegritude.bsky.social•74 days ago

Republican mass layoffs, not Trump. Remember he is a GOP President.

uumarymt.bsky.social•75 days ago

I've been cutting back on air travel for carbon reasons, but I think I'll be staying out of the air entirely now for awhile.

trixie3400.bsky.social•75 days ago

Airlines should strike

roxannebluesky.bsky.social•75 days ago

As a way to limit international flights.

End goal: only the 1% will be allowed to travel freely.

sccharlston716.bsky.social•74 days ago

Many of the laid off are tower techs who manage software, tech issues, IT and work with towers radar. It is not an if, it is a when that they will be needed.

Ask any Air traffic controller and they will say, this is absolutely insanity.

myfiona.bsky.social•74 days ago

Do any of them assist Air Force One and Two flights?

wen321.bsky.social•74 days ago

That made me gigglesnort. Thank you.

myfiona.bsky.social•74 days ago

Seriously, this is one of the most critical groups in government. The other is the nuclear power plant employees.

world999.bsky.social•75 days ago

Americans STOP flying. Sure it’s going to be inconvenient but our ancestors did it and arrived at their destination SAFELY!

musedri.bsky.social•75 days ago

Making it more unsafe to fly than ever.

musk-family-ftms.bsky.social•74 days ago

Sue Musk over any crashes.

jbl80.bsky.social•75 days ago

The airlines and pilots need to refuse to fly until this is explained and safety is confirmed. I say ground everything.

littlepricklypear.bsky.social•75 days ago

Hey Dems - “People will die” is a powerful message.

dachsy.bsky.social•75 days ago

Guess I’ll keep to the roads but not in a pile of junk like a Tesla.

5dj.bsky.social•75 days ago

They are under staffed as it is. How much more danger can he put us in?

sumgirl.bsky.social•75 days ago

Glad I’m not traveling for work anymore 😬

mdavey10.bsky.social•75 days ago

They're trying to manufacture a crisis in order to privatize. A crisis that will cost lives. We haven't had a major crash for decades and #Trump wants to sacrifice lives to make money and follow the project 2025 playbook.

sunshine3031.bsky.social•74 days ago

The govt. Job is to keep us safe! Between this & firing the FBI & people who oversee our nuc stockpile, they are making sure we are vulnerable!

pettirosso.me•75 days ago

A horrible scenario for anyone who needs to get on a plane. I’ve already been feeling like now is not the time for plane travel or travel outside of the US. Not sure how much safer it will be to lay low but I’ll stick to local recreational voyage for the foreseeable future.

ashbow.bsky.social•74 days ago

Where is MSNBC and other news outlets? Why aren’t you covering the protests around the country?! Do not act as if everything is fine. The country is in crisis . Cover the ongoing protests in DC and around the country!

caseybteague.bsky.social•74 days ago

You’re clearly not watching. Rachel has covered all those topics several times along with other pundits.

ashbow.bsky.social•74 days ago

But not reporting about it live as it was happening like ABC7 did on their Facebook page

mrf911.bsky.social•74 days ago

I see them on MSNBC

vegascookies.bsky.social•74 days ago

Soo...
If we have a death wish or want to play Russian Roulette: book a flight somewhere??

Feb 28: begins the economic blackout for 4 years?
