Had one tell me it’s no big deal that they fire 400 employees because there are 45,000 and the ones let go were probationary. Blamed DEI for the lack of qualified Air Traffic Controllers.
I can attest that in the 90’s there was a quota for women and POC to be accepted into ATC training. However, the methods used back then were eliminated by the end of the 90’s.
I always thought the end of days would happen soon after I died, but apparently, I'll get to see it for myself...chaos, environmental destruction, wars over resources, etc. Here we go. We were warned. Greed wins.
Dear friends, I need your support! ❄️🛵
Getting around in the winter as a paraplegic is a daily struggle, but an enclosed mobility scooter would be life-changing—giving me the freedom and independence I desperately need. Please consider donating or sharing my GoFundMe🙏✨🔗 https://gofund.me/0af928df
Yes, that was my point. For every 1.5 hours of flying you're telling people to do a day-long drive/bus/train ride and then stay overnight in between legs. I wouldn't really call that viable. We already needed a high speed rail system but this system failure makes it more obvious.
I was merely suggesting your president has made it unsafe to fly. I personally don't give a shit how you get anywhere. Fly away. It won't kill me, so I guess I don't have to care.
Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin and Xi. He admires them as “ strong leaders” these leaders govern with iron fists. Trump wants to rule like them and with the help of Republican Party this is happening. Republicans want power.. period. Our democratic rights are diminishing by the day
Wasn't the point of the Electoral College to PREVENT people this unfit for office in so many ways from getting in office to destroy us?
It wasn't a secret, either. We all knew these were his plans.
That’s why I think the electoral
College is so antiquated now. There are so many ways to manipulate it. Elections should be basic popular vote but that takes an act of Congress
Good luck with that one 😡
I’m a former seat-of-the-pants pilot. Once had an overworked and undertrained ATC controller try to make me fly a Cessna into a thunderhead. Now I’m gonna save my money and stay on the ground.
This administration doesn't give a single fried flake of a fuck about protecting us. We need to be shouting that from the rooftops to anyone who will listen and do everything we can to reject their abject buttfucking of all systems of governance and protection for the citizens of the US.
I'm aware. I'm also not going to stop trying to educate people on that fact. I can't make everyone listen, but I will fight back against a fascist takeover to my dying breath to the best of my ability.
Never stop trying to educate the people. They make a choice with every election - even if that choice is to stay home. We have to wake them up to what is happening before their very eyes.
Yes, Mr. Webb. What could possibly be behind wanting us to be unaware of incoming cruise missiles outside of having such missiles and wanting them to be more effective? The fall of the Berlin Wall and the USSR did not stop “certain Russians” from actively seeking to weaken and dismantle the USA.
No let them fly on and even worse they want the African loser to replace FAA with his second greatest scam or is it the third scam I’m losing count here! Just how dumb can one block of voters be - oh wait they are this dumb!
What does it take to know that the devil has been unleashed in the White House at our expense and because of our votes plain and simple this means action either Americans care about their country and democracy or they don't then just sit back and relax and watch the destruction of our country
I do think we should be very concerned but I also think this is a evil tactic to keep people from leaving. If too many people leave they have no one to dictate.
Imagine if we all just up and left. The hate would have to hate it's own to survive.
The NTSB covers all transportation, not just air travel - I don't see that designation. I get extremely frustrated with forever googling & not finding the info I need - I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can you give me a link to this with direct reference to aircraft crashes?
I was just wondering about that earlier. A colleague and I were talking about a typically international conference that would require most attendees to fly to. Are companies going to risk sending employees? Will international airlines risk sending their planes?
Not meaning to pick on you personally; this usage has gotten incredibly widespread over the past few years, just when we need the word most in its unaltered meaning.
This is what happens when a MORON is put in charge. There's no do overs for the families of the victims. People in his party need to start taking a stand. 25th amendment seems pretty reasonable.
This is the point of the musk/trump admin. They want to make governmental programs so ineffective that people become disillusioned with the government in general and then will believe that what the musk/trump administration is doing is completely acceptable. Make government so awful people hate it.
People need to stop labeling Trump/Musk administration"
Call them the Republican administration. Because the R are completely content with what is happening. This is clear to everyone in the country, especially because of the upcoming elections. Voters can choose which party they will NOT vote for
Trumkt needed to create his electorate!! he needed them so ignorant than even basic evidence would be ignored. That’s why he was so active all that time behind the scene, and clearly absolutely it was done the day people panicked about tik tok ban, no other huge issues! those remain ignored 😔😤
And you don’t think that fucking CNN could have fucking done something better for the American people before this motherfucker got elected instead of talking shit about our fucking dope ass President Joe Biden, and then talking up this criminal motherfucker, motherfucker and fuck you Kaitlin and CNN
OK, I don’t think he was elected. Someone said that he wasn’t but they voted on some thing earlier and it was cash Patel. I don’t know because my senators voted no. I’m watching on YouTube though and
I’m watching PBS so I’m not sure if maybe they’re voting on something else but I’m not sure because they are talking about Kash Patel. So many different formalities with this stuff. It’s hard to watch and understand sometimes.
Trumkt needed to create his electorate!! he needed them so ignorant than even basic evidence would be ignored. That’s why he was so active all that time behind the scene, and clearly it was done the day people panicked about tik tok ban, no other huge issues! It took a few years! them musky came too
Yes, there are trials for remote towers.
And yes there is “privatized ATC”. I am one of these federal contract controllers. This has been a program since the 80’s. And is done worldwide. We all have previous FAA or military ATC experience.
Fantastic. If I was an airline I'd be hiring y'all like all our lives depend on it as back up to whatever USA is doing. What a cluster. Feels so unstable right now!
Meh, what do the people who've spent their entire careers doing that know? I fully trust BigBalls to make that assessment, whose sole point of contact with aviation since getting out of his diapers last year has been seeing planes cross the sky.
Long-time FAA contractor here. My top comment is: DO NOT let any of the Dodgy DOGE Dudes anywhere near air traffic control programs. They have no clue about air traffic control, & there is no way they will make anything better. Absolute top ATC concern is getting people to their destination safely.
Pushing a supposed agenda of reducing debt is disingenuous if it also includes reducing revenue. Republicans are merely financing a tax cut for billionaires.
All the FAA director did was ask Mr. Musk if he could possibly stop blowing up his rockets & spewing space junk in the flight path of airliners full of humans? And now he’s fired.
I feel like such an alarmist, yet my daughter is scheduled to go to Europe at the end of March, and I am having such issues with allowing her to go because of this!
What we have here is an administration that celebrates incompetence. Because 47 just can't stand being told he's wrong by ANYONE worst of all anyone who actually knows what they're talking about.
This will not end well for America. It started about the price of eggs. It ends with a weaker nation.
You are a monumental Liar.The FAA has 50 000 employees and and only 300 non critical employees were fired.Just look at the aircraft accident rate under Biden!
Did you even bother to listen to the story at all before you posted this? This has nothing to do with flying, at all. FFS, you're as bad as a lot of the idiot republicans that just blindly repost shit.
What can’t people just say "it’s a lie"? Why does he feel the need to say "it’s a ‘false’ statement". I’m not specifically mad at him, but in general, can we just call a spade a spade instead of using euphemisms that make these people seem less evil than they are?
I think he might be cautious about his words because the WH statement would be been more specific about commercial flights, which isn’t what he was doing. He’s saying he believes they have fired critical safety people, but it’s being conflated with commercial airline safety.
Imagine if we talked like that. "Don't you give me a false statement, I talked to your teacher!" "I saw you with her, save your false statements for someone who gives a 💩." "Don't trust them, they're a bunch of false statement makers" 🤪
Trump and his followers could be screaming that the grass is green and the sky is blue, and I wouldn’t believe them. They are liars and manipulators who put the people of this country at risk every single day. Is there a DCFS type organization for political figures harming their constituents? Gross.
As a former controller and nearly 40 years as an airline pilot, I still consider flying safe. ATC has tools to prevent more traffic than they can handle: ground stops, holding patterns, and release times for departures, and contingencies for irregularities. Airliners have equipment to avoid….
collision with other traffic and with the ground. There are minimum separation rules for enroute and terminal area traffic. Twice as many people die daily in auto accidents than did in the DC crash, the first U.S. airline crash in 16 years. Don’t succumb to sensationalism.
Exactly. Pilot here also. There are roughly 26,000 flights per day in the US. So in the roughly 30 days since Trump 2.0 there have been about 3/4 of a million flights. And 6 accidents. Worry about the right things. This ain't it.
A client of mine is a safety officer for the FAA. He assured me it is still very safe to fly. This need to scare the crap out of people who have to fly in order to score political points is bullshit and no better than what Trump does. Are we not better than this?
Would it make a difference? Franky, he doesn’t care if you fly. It’s not like FAA employees are paid on commission. However, for those of us who have to fly, it would be really fucking nice if the media reported the facts.
I have a family friend that is a retired controller, his daughter is controller in Miami. He assures me that US flight controllers are best in the world and they will get us home safe. Says Musk and Trump aren’t gonna ruin that! ( actually a few other curse words too)
This regime is a dictatorship. It is cosplaying that it is constitutional for the very short term. It intends to disregard “coequal” branches entirely. It is collapsing the union. It must be removed by any means necessary.
I am.. canceled our spring and fall fying vacations.. may drive up to Canada for our vacation now to support their economy... can't believe we are where we are.. when will this nightmare end!!!
You know, I don't get it. None of them in there are running on any brain power. Even Musk is not as smart as you all think. They're all going off Hitler's playbook, possibly Stalin's as well. Can't we outsmart them somehow? I know we can't use flattery, it's weak in their stupid eyes 🤔
Screw her, she failed at her job and helped elect the fat orange turd and CNN pretends to ask hard questions but ever notice the maga scum always get their talikng points in while the weak anchor makes feeble attempts to interrupt.
Interesting that Russian TV was discussing how they could carry out a nuclear attack on us on air this week. Almost like they know these positions are being terminated.
Nope. Not fake news. That's the real Russian channel that reflects the Putin regime's views and intentions. On the other hand, what they say there is often "fake news."
Russia was threatening to do this to America? After trumps been butt licking Putin for years? That would be hilarious. Give Trump taste of his own medicine. “Aw I’m sorry.. did you trust me? Did you think I actually liked you? That’s hilarious. ..”
I assume they are trying to make flying unsafe to either keep us in the country or as a reason to privatize. I still do know how to drive to Canada thankfully.
I wouldn't get on a plane for the next several years. Unfortunately, it's not going to be just planes. Everything in America is about to become less safe. EVERYTHING!
I refuse to watch/read anything from @cnn.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @wsj.com or any other reality "news" channel that helped Trump get elected for kicks and likes. Fk them all.
I think you missed the point, to be fair. Sheamus is saying all these news outlets covered Trump like this was normal vs. telling the American public the truth and doubling or even tripling down on those truths.
Essentially CNN and all the other outlets are complicit because they want money.
If they fire the FAA probationary people, who will be there to direct the traffic when the older people retire??? AI??? It takes years of training and education to become a top professional FAA controller. So this disaster will continue for years to come.
You are fortunate not to live here.
I would not fly either.
For all we know, this is being done on purpose to make it look like the FAA is incompetent so Musk can take over. So far the flights have been small planes or not full; minimize casualties will giving Americans the shock value.
I know I have! Immediately after the first crash - I knew trump’s gutting of the FAA was going to lead to un-safety! The pup and I are holding off flying anywhere probably for the next several years. Thanks for taking flying away. What other fun things will we lose?? 🤦🏻♀️
Take a democratic nation, run it like a failing business into the ground in short order so the wealthiest can obtain short term wealth because there is never enough of it for these vermin. That's a hell of a business model, to ruin the country, do real harm to most of the "customers"... epic fail.
I’m afraid I’d already decided not to spend a £ of my income in the US on the return of Trump, the cavalier way that aviation employees are being treated is just one more reason not to travel there. Sorry USA there is much I love about your country but this is all too much.
Makes absolute sense & I plan the same tactic.I have been mortified that people from other countries may forget so many of us voted AGAINST him & now are horrified: can’t sleep, etc (I cried 3 different times Wednesday). It’s a huge swath of Americans who disagree vehemently with what is happening.
We have American relations and our hearts go out to them and all like them; I feel positively sick at how his words and deeds are taking the world from scary to positively terrifying.
Thank you. Please light a candle, say a prayer, whatever you feel comfortable. Obviously there are so many people suffering all over the world but we were able to do SOME good to help that. This guy is a cancer for the planet (as we witness all of these copycats pop up).
I truly hope we prevail.
As long as nobody stands up against your mafia/nazi government I don’t trust anyone from the US. Why are people and the Democratic Party are not fighting against these tyrants?
I’m flying tomorrow to Hawaii. It’s my 40th wedding anniversary trip & I’m not going to cancel the flight. If I die while celebrating life then so be it. I’m not saying the issue shouldn’t be addressed, but wondering: Wouldn’t pilots be in revolt if it so dangerous to fly? Honest question.
Well if you’re going to choose the way to go… I can think of better. That said Hawaii isn’t so easy to call off last minute.
I’ve knocked on wood for you. Have a beautiful trip.
Maybe they want it to be dangerous to fly. Maybe they want Americans to stay in America.
Maybe they are trying to isolate Americans to control Americans.
Maybe I've been watching too much TV.
We're angry about Trump & his supporters,
disappointed in those who didn't vote or who voted for Trump denying their racism & misogyny or disguising it with He-Tells-It-Like-It-Is-Isms.
Most importantly, 2/3 of us are frightened it'll happen here too.
Two BIG elections coming this year
#CdnPoli
You know, I don't want to think it is true, it's easier to accept incompetence over maliciousness, but eventually one has to consider that the killing of your citizens - it could be intentional.
I just posted a letter from a terminated ATC employee from Fairbanks International, 2nd largest and busiest airport in Alaska. These folk were very good at their jobs and I was very confident working with them as a pilot, daily!
This interview in no way shape or form contains FAA employees telling anyone it's not safe to fly.
This is a misleading post & should be reported as misinformation. Shit like this causes fear, panic & you should be ashamed for the lack of reporting ethics you're displaying here.
This is exactly how they wanted it by firing the employees. Elon will get a big contract to redesign the whole flight operating systems in less than a month! I’ll take my chances now.
What he said was that the area he worked in had nothing to do with flight safety and he didn't know anybody who worked there, but he worked in defense research and ending his job might have repercussions for national security. Which is bad, but not the same as what you're saying.
He actually said he was not involved in the air traffic control part of things but WAS involved in the second part, the flight safety part, and that reports from the government that flight safety concerns were unjustified were a flat out false statement.
Current administration exposing vulnerabilities for foreign entities to attack the US. Congressional Dems and Repubs: This is crossing a RED line. DO SOMETHING!
I’m worried sick. My g/daughter is flying end of month. Her and her high school friends are being sponsored by DECA. They raised money for it. MORE anxiety and sleepless nights
Hawaii doesn't have trains or boats. Only cruise ships, round trip from mainland. Besides, is they miraculously did, how many people can spend a leisurely two weeks at sea for every trip.
Sure is. We just can't use them unless we circle the islands. I tried cargo ships but nope. Stick with plane unless you're wealthy and have private boat.
Whoever said that your run of the mill MAGAts are capable of doing these jobs? Seen any good oleboys in the tower lately? This is why MAGAts are low class. They never aspired to be anymore more than followers, never leaders.
The underfunding, dysfunction of the FAA has been a conversation since Reagan endangered everyone to end the Air Traffic Controllers union.
Republicans can fire every government worker, it is not going to solve the endless republican debt problem.
It matters not, republicans have endangered the flying public, abused air traffic controllers, ignored out of date systems for forty fucking years.
No one is to blame but us for allowing this dysfunction.
We should have ended the republican party after the Reagan crime spree.
Absolute rubbish!Look at the figures of plane crashes throughout the years involving Democrat and Republican Governments.This is a systemic problem, and Trump will fix it!
Dear gods child, Trump cannot pay off a hooker without getting caught.
I cannot name one thing that Boy has accomplished in his life except for luring in the most gullible in society.
Has anyone followed up with our new secretary of transportation? I would love to hear his take. I know nothing is his fault and these firings had no impact on these disasters🙄🙄 But it seems like this guy has actually been working with the FAA not at the racetrack.
Yeah, I would certainly like to know that cruise missile detection is ongoing, including research into making it more accurate. Safety has more than one component.
You don’t care to change minds…cuz as you say…facts are facts…it’s hard to change minds when doing so requires facts for critical thinking people. You’d be better off on Twitter where they don’t use much in the way of critical thinking skills…your invalidated statements may have more impact there.
I stopped flying the beginning COVID in 2020. So far, I haven’t missed flying.
It’s bad enough we got a deal chaotic airports, the price of tickets, the customers that have no sense of decency or manners…now we gotta worry about if we’re gonna live in the air?
HA! Same! Kid & I have done road trips, where we can manage so many COVID precautions. We were finally going to take our first flight this year, as we're missing California (we're in Chicago), as many COVID conscious people have reported tricks to stay safe.
I am not sure the story is about the safety of air travel.
It was about the firing of an FAA employee whose job was missile defense (specifically detecting incoming cruise missiles) under a DOD funded programme. He specifically said he had no knowledge of air traffic control impacts.
You’re really going to believe a pathologically lying sociopathic administration, particularly a transportation secretary that was on an MTV reality show?lol
And to be clear… I am not saying anything about the safety of air travel. The reason I commented at all was my concern that this post amounted to fear-mongering, which (in my opinion) is not helpful when things are already so scary and destabilising for so many of us.
I don’t understand your reply. I am just describing what the fired FAA employee said about the threat posed by his firing - he felt it was a threat to national security - the story was not about air travel safety, contrary to the headline.
Right but is it safer to fly when we're less capable of detecting incoming missiles before they knock your plane out of the sky? I think that's the point. (Not to mention many other news stories indicating plane safety focused engineers and inspectors were fired as well.)
Well, of course, I don’t think trimming the FAA workforce makes air travel safer. And yes, that includes limiting the ability to detect a missile aimed at a plane. So, good point.
But you get my underlying point, right ?
Do sensationalistic or misleading headlines really help us fight back ?
At this point, using such tactics to really drive the point the US entire infrastructure is being torn apart, and that it should be worrisome is perfectly valid to me.
Its purpose is not give tools to people. It's to wake up.
What was sensationalistic or misleading though? I'm all for critical media literacy but I don't see any issues with this. They directly quoted this guy if that's what you're referring to.
If you run the government like a business expect a lot of deaths in the name of efficiency and cost-saving. Everyone hates their company and their boss so I never understood this belief that government should be more like that!
All Airlines and airports should refuse to fly! Get their lawyers on suing the American govt for violating their codes of ethics and safety, making air flight dangerous, forcing them to cease operations and loose money.
Yes, absolutely. They are completely understaffed and hemorrhaging experienced workers. The remaining employees just don’t have enough hands and eyes to do the work of 10 people. However, we should still consider all of the reasons they don’t want us to fly…🤔
They also want to eliminate the pipeline of new hires (probationary employees) who will fill the roles when federal employees retire. Hence, government will cease to exist.
Not safe to fly, not safe to eat, not safe to become pregnant, not safe being a federal employee, not safe to be different to their christo fascist selfs. This is the world the orange felon has created.
The thing that drives me nuts about this is that they're just showing that death threats will be effective on them. I'm sorry that they're getting death threats but this is also why you don't try to ride the snake! The snake is going to turn around and bite your ass!
FAFO-that’s what you get for being spineless in your party, for putting yourself ahead of what’s best for America. Good luck. I don’t feel one bit sorry for you.
He did't create a thing. It was created way before him. Reagan started it, and the decline began from that point going forward. The orangegutan is a manifestation of the cancer. It's in the terminal stage 4 now. There will be no miracles, no cure. America as we knew it is on its death bed.
The world that We the People voted for. We have to take responsibility for this. We trusted Trump when we already knew what he was. We got side-tracked by trans and DEI and Haitians eating pets. Many of us couldn’t be bothered to vote or even pay attention. This is our fault.
Same. And yet we too will suffer. And the impact of those people’s votes will make hundreds of thousands around the world suffer. Most all will come to regret it, undoubtedly.
Speak for yourself. I didn't vote for this shit, sure as hell didn't trust any of them with anything. Precisely why I didn't vote for him. I sure get to deal with the consequences though 🙄
They totally are. Even if most western leaders act like it's an outrage at the moment (at least their words suggest it is), who knows how this will infect their positions in the future. Give it a few months when the dust settle. I am in Canada and I am very concerned.
Retired Federal worker... why don't ALL federal workers file "hostile work environment" complaints. They are definitely feeling scared, intimidated, abused by a superior, etc... and should have protection under law... would this slow down or stop them from being fired? Any lawyers out there??
Yeah... and they are going to keep doing it unless there is some type of opposition... are they going to fire all Veterans Administration medical center employees at once?? Or, I guess, we could all just roll over.
It's my speculation is that they're going to use these crashes as an excuse to privatize the FAA... Which means the new entity will only help the highest bidders, and "poor people planes" will crash.
Still short sighted for "highest bidder" morons who think they'll escape the chaos.
Sounds likely... but if you don't have to fly, don't...drive, postpone, boycott, resist anyway you can... we have to be willing to be, at the very least inconvenienced... They will only care if it affects their pockets...
This is exactly what they will do. They have wanted to do this since Reagan fired the air traffic controllers (and then got an airport named after him.). Quality will go down and workers will be paid less. What can go wrong?
When they first started dismantling the FAA they were talking about outdated systems.
They lied.
The already stressed for funding (for the safety of ALL, 💯 Americans) FAA has been stressed to the max, and we've had what, 6 or 7 more commercial crashes in a month than we did in the last 16 years?
Toooo many lawyers out there. Too many of them eager for clients. If there is no law, they have no job. Should be aware of a "leader' who is bent on dissolving the laws of the land.
Fuck you Washington. Miss Magpie won’t be deterred by your show of utter incompetence. It’s worth the risk to be there to scream at your stupid faces. See you losers soon. 🖕
I have committed to my knitting group friends to fly to Portland for a weekend in early April (from Los Angeles). I haven't booked my flight and now I'm struggling b/t my sense of obligation to them and my dread. Note, I've never liked flying but that fear felt a bit unreasonable-but now it doesn't.
I feel the same! But, I don't want my fear to keep me from living my life. They say it's still the safest way to travel, but that doesn't ease my anxiety.

Wow. No trump fluff piece to spend the day on??
We won’t be able to leave, ya’ll.
Airlines do care very much if people don’t fly. Big business is Trump’s real constituency.
Airlines have Trump’s ear, so only boycotting will make a difference.
Journalism is failing us.
Only the airlines can pressure Trump to bring the FAA back to previous standards.
I also have to fly a lot in 2025, so I appreciate the boycotters.
The press benefits from the accidents, far more clicks than safety concerns.
We build an unstoppable force for good.

I cannot name one thing that Boy has accomplished in his life except for luring in the most gullible in society.

It’s bad enough we got a deal chaotic airports, the price of tickets, the customers that have no sense of decency or manners…now we gotta worry about if we’re gonna live in the air?
Yeah, no thanks.

It was about the firing of an FAA employee whose job was missile defense (specifically detecting incoming cruise missiles) under a DOD funded programme. He specifically said he had no knowledge of air traffic control impacts.
But you get my underlying point, right ?
Do sensationalistic or misleading headlines really help us fight back ?
Misleading...? No... Not quite.

Shameless plug for the economic blackout next weekend.
They lied.

That will make a huge statement.
