More people are going to die in this chairs his creating. He’s doing it on purpose. It seems like incompetence but it’s strategic. Because he doesn’t give a shit about human lives. He wants us scared, he wants us desperate to follow his privatization plans. I say let’s not take flights.1/2
No worries. He wants autocracy, where chaos and pillaging will occur, then he will say that he has arrived to provide better, without including the disclaimer that he will take the resources and reward them to his billionaire inner circle.
All U.S. pilots and air traffic controllers should go on strike. Trump might replace controllers with “anti-DEI” hires (scabs), but they won’t have anything to do if there are no planes in the air.
These schmucks are daring the air traffic controllers to take the buyout deal. They don’t gaf they’ll fire them all. I was just a kid but I remember the air traffic controllers strike in the early 80s when Reagan fired all of them so they even have precedence.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a strike but much bigger. It would have to be a national strike. We need to bring the economy to a stand still making it exactly who’s to blame and the first stipulation would be to ban musk from all govt business
Yeah, it should be a full nationwide strike, modeled after the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike. Hold the line until Musk is fully out of government, ALL federal workers are brought back, funding restored, and all government websites and data are fully restored. And other stipulations I may not have thought of.
Found out later on but a national strike was being organized the last time this clown held office and was completely stunned how much infrastructure was in place to organize such a thing. I’m sure those connections still exist and it’s really not as insurmountable as it sounds
If Trump has the FAA bring in a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears college kids to scab the struck positions, then the pilots would need to strike for their own safety and the safety of their passengers.
He may not promise payments. Congress does that. You know he lies daily. Do not believe him. Everyone file lawsuits for being unlawfully fired. My apologies to the many working toward a pension.
This country is already short on air traffic controllers. This job takes years of training. You can't put a MAGAt gamer in the control tower. The death of expertise.
This, along with orders to remove all references to transgender issues from government websites, is the beginning of the erasure of an entire population of Americans from public life.
Unlike other federal agencies, the Justice Department, in its letter to its employees offering them the Trump buy-out plan, declined to state that the buy-out plan is legal. It said only that OPM assures Justice the plan is legal. Justice obviously is not so sure!
Is Trump cutting programs to give money back to the people or is he creating new programs to enact project 2025? More likely the latter. He doesn’t care about people.
1934 Germany, Adolf Hitler ordered a purge of the Nazi party to install loyalists. It was called The Night of the Long Knives. From there, the Nazi Party spread fear and intimidation through the marginalization of Jews, ethnic minorities, educators, and those with mental disabilities. Donald Trump.
Who TF do they think are going to do the jobs of air traffic controllers? There is no well stocked bench ready to go, as they are an already severely understaffed profession... Unless the plan is to completely halt air traffic.
All U.S. pilots and air traffic controllers should go on strike. Trump might replace controllers with “anti-DEI” hires (scabs), but they won’t have anything to do if there are no planes in the air.
They should all accept, or give notice of a mass walk out, ground every civilian airline in the country. Let the MAGA's see the consequences. Stay away till Trump resigns, a bloodless revolution.
What the Maga Klan fails to understand is the DEI doesn't mean only hiring minorities/women/disabled/seniors etc. It means that qualified people can't be denied employment because of those things. Selective ignorance will be the downfall of society.
It takes years to train a new controller, and Trump is trying to get rid of controllers now, when they are already understaffed. It doesn't look like he has thought this through, but that really isn't a surprise. Is this how he plans to cut federal spending by $2 trillion?
Like Hillary, the Republicans have done a number on AOC so a majority of Americans and middle of the road voters have a bad opinion of her. Character assassination works. It’s the Republicans tried and true go to strategy.
Resist like your life, your kids lives, your grandkids lives depended on it. Why? bc they don't. Boycott corporate America. Go MOM & Pop when you can.

His purge of government employees that are responsible for public safety should make everyone afraid. Delta, American, United, Southwest should be concerned about Trump’s reckless behavior. Public perception of safety is EVERYTHING to them.
All U.S. pilots and air traffic controllers should go on strike. Trump might replace controllers with “anti-DEI” hires (scabs), but they won’t have anything to do if there are no planes in the air.
The U.S. is a big ship. Usually even the worst policies take time to have an impact. But air safety seems a good example of bad policies having immediate deadly effect.
Dems should hold DAILY press events like during COVID detailing what this admin is doing and what the consequences will be.
Listen, my daughters and grandchildren out on flights this weekend to a cruise and coming back in a week if anything happens to them……… I’ll take care of it.
Fascist Coalition (don’t call em magas that gives them power) added an even higher stress levels on a high stress job!
And being a guy short adds more stress! Surprised there weren’t several catastrophes!
Another Friday night coup. The highest-ranking Treasury official resigned Friday over DOG/Musk access to payment systems, including Social Security and Medicare.
The payment systems disburse trillions of $ for govt services.
I guarantee that the people who leave under this offer will NOT receive their full benefits nor pay. Since when have any of the kings promises been fulfilled?
I might want to park my private jet and travel by unmarked recreational vehicle for a while if I had either of them. It seems the skies are a great way to hide a deliberate act as an act of incompetence at the moment. Maybe only the groundwork is being laid for that defense.
Remember those planes are now under this administration. I’m sure he will not require a billionaire to keep this form of transportation safe. And these planes fly out of your country.
Demand that you be kept safe. Maybe American planes should be grounded until they can prove it is safe.
jeeeezus, ya ongoing bs&drama to disrupt/disturb anything with in greedy hateful little hands.whatever/whenever comes back full force on them,hope does,nt effect every1 else!!JustThemAlone!!
At this point our country comes before any president, look how much damage trump’s already done and Elon is actively raiding government’s assets, btw can trump say no to Elon…hmmm
Don't blame Trump or Musk. This is the REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION. All of them own it. If the MuskMelons disappeared it would still be this bad. This is what they & their oligarch friends have planned for since the 1960s.
Yep. I know several federal worker, none in air traffic control but they all got that fake buyout letter Tuesday night. And they were all shocked, upset, worried distracted... hard to imagine much good work got done by those workers on Wednesday. Even those whose jobs aren't life or death.
The new Sec of Transported, Sean Duffy, unequivocally told Jake Taper this morning on State of the Union that air traffic controllers are NOT being offered early retirement because they are "essential employees."
I want pilots, flight attendants and ground crews to /collaborate/plan a strike... One day a week until safety air traffic controller numbers are back up and safety regulations are restored.
Arrest Musk. He doesn’t get an Impeachment. He’s a private citizen that nobody ELECTED. Nobody likes Musk. Nobody trusts him. He needs to get his NOSE out of the Federal Government’s Business!
That can’t happen soon enough. I would think Trump would already be annoyed with Musk for taking so much of his limelight AWAY! We KNOW Trump doesn’t LIKE to SHARE ANYTHING. Maybe it will end once Trump realizes the amount of attention Musk is getting. Trump doesn’t care if it’s good or bad.
And got 67 people killed. One FFA attendant in a flight Tower doing a job two people supposed to be doing. Then blaming women black people disabled people and intellectual people. For working in the towers. Hide by Joe Biden. Trump got to go!
Maybe Musk has a business venture where he contracts out air traffic controllers. Maybe this company is primarily staffed by H-1B visa holders trained as air traffic controllers who'll work for the same wage as the lowest paid employe in the company that also happens to be an air traffic controller.
In 1672, Dutch PM Johan de Witt was killed and eaten by a mob of his own people which was a result of public anger over de Witt’s perceived failures. Not sure what made me think of that story… 🤔
Tell people to rip the offer up and mail it back to Donald Trump ! Pour a little syrup in it so he gets his fingers sticky when trying to make sense of it🤗🤗

In just one week
Sound like a terror crime to me?
How many exstreme MAGA worked near that fligth before take off?
I do too
Are they just trying to bring the whole country to a stand still with ALL these new regulations?
They are happy to let as many of us die and to have the economy crash as hard as possible.
This is their goal.

This info will be used for voter suppression.
Don’t pay taxes
The original is from 2014 (timely, eh?) and claims that high-scoring white men are passed by, resulting in a GAP OF 10000 controllers!!!
Reprehensible lawyering.

They must be working on it.
That’s the blueprint.
You try protesting against one thing, there’s another one destroyed elsewhere.
It’s unbearable tyranny.
Time to get out on the streets. Shut down DC. Occupy every street.
Protest.
Good! Hope he can't make it to his Florida White House and gets stuck in Washington.
things have to be for you to
make such a statement and
for me to be unable to refute it.
