Not only do not visit the US warnings but do not fly to the US.

Best to boycott Tesla, & take ships, cars or rail. Of course, those little boys like chaos so they will probably mess up more infrastructure-time will tell.
3 weeks ago I cancelled a November trip to Germany, Austria and other places for a friends trip to experience the European holiday markets. It’s been a year in the making.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The richest man in the world is still rich. Meanwhile, people are struggling to afford groceries. Maybe, just maybe, we should be helping those who actually need help? Just a thought. 🤔
Only it’s not one man. It’s the entire Republican Party. If just a handful of Republicans would stand up to this. It would end this national nightmare, but there isn’t a spine to be found among any of them.
Again? Wasn’t this what caused the crash that killed that team earlier this year. It’s got to be the morons in the alleged Admin playing war he-man and commandeering actual military planes for use as commuter flights.
These jets were never near airports before. Goddamn Muskrats
That's the point. It's called Disaster Capitalism.
First they create a problem, so they get people's reaction to it. Then they find a solution to the problem (e.g. privatizing everything). Then they profit from it for generations to come.
I suspect that's the basis of Signalgate. They've intentionally handed over the reigns to those guaranteed to fuck things up, knowing it's only a matter of time before a foreign entity takes advantage of the chaos. When that happens they'll swoop in as America’s saviors, and avengers of democracy.
Trump & the Republicans want you to applaud their decision to fire people of color and LBGTQ ATCs at 35,000 ft. Trump & the Republican Party are going to kill Americans on airplanes.
Was Whiskey TwatTrot Hegseth taking a military jet out for a post-happy hour spin or was this another Sissy Space-X "lets cut air traffic controllers & 'update' the AC systems" special?
doubt anyone in the US will do anything because they had enough of the deaths that could have been avoided. It will have to impact them directly before they do anything and by then it might be too late.
These things haven't happened for like almost 15 years but now that they're happening they're because of the people who were hired before? Have I got that right? Somehow that don't make a goddamn lick of sense and maybe they shouldn't have f***** with it
Please share this as so few talk about the 2006 DOJ memo on convicted felons holding public office at the DC level (hint - they said it is against the impeachment clause & thus unconstitutional)
The corporate welfare queen Kelon is damaging air travel and no way in hell would I get on a Jet aircraft these days. It’s not safe to travel because of all this DOGE nonsense he is just causing chaos and self dealing to himself. Enjoy while you can while you are still breathing Kelon
I would rather have Pete Buttigieg as a President and NOT Anndy Besher! What the fuck is wrong with this Country. MSNBC seems to be stuck on Amy McGrath! 🤮🤮🤮
Widely praised response, bringing in the industry, regulators, others. Transportation reporters were talking on-air about this effort by Buttigieg's DOT and all that had been done after Trump's unhinged comments when there was a Potomac River crash on Trump's watch.
Non-military ATC it seems now has to essentially act as a CENTCOM against our poorly organized military planes. It's like first world colliding with third world.
Sometimes it's helpful to use a Venn diagram to better define what's going on with the changes the president has imposed on our government which leads to consequences like these.
That is just great-I am due to fly into Reagan on Thursday. I swear never in my life have I been afraid of flying (over 30 years) until now. I won't let it stop me but dear God this is insane.
This has nothing to do with the orange criminal, either. According to the NTSB’s preliminary report on the January 29 collision, between October 2021 and December 2024, over 15,200 close calls were documented between commercial airplanes and helicopters operating near DCA.
I swear, until we get some competent leadership back at the FAA who know the value of a strong workforce, I am not going to be flying. Too many close calls and collisions since this administration took over.
I agree, Musk is responsible for firing all the wrong people, people that are actually needed for safety reasons, but Trump gave him that power, and Congress abdicated their authority so Trump could do this. There is plenty of blame on this one. I am still not flying until something changes.
We need some republicans in congress to wake the F up and start motions to remove people to stop this ticking bomb. It’s been 70 days of pure chaos that’s only going to get worse.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U HIRE A KETAMINE ADDICT IN CHARGE OF DOGE A HEROIN ADDICT AS SECRETARY of HEALTH AN ALCOHOLIC IN CHARGE OF OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE, AN ANTI IMMIGRATION WHITE CHRISTIAN NOTZI EXTREMIST IS DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF & A RUSSIAN SYMPATHIZER IN CHARGE of NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE 🤡s
The fact that BOTH aircraft arrived at their destinations, THE MOST SAFELY of any aircraft because we have a strong POTUS, is reason enough to say Thank You, sir.
Now, let's just call it a day.
Or else we yell...
WITCH HUNT! 🧹
We are not just losing everything but are in obvious danger not just from flying but also from drunks texting our military secrets without checking who's on the list!
Does anyone know how this compares historically? Don't misunderstand me, this is of concern, but if it's also fairly routine then aren't we guilty of the same thing we accuse MAGA of?
That’s what they are asking… is it just getting reported on more because of Doge, when previously it wouldn’t have been front page news, or is it really happening more.
Airline crashes and near misses have always been front page news. And again, you have the history of existence at your fingertips. Find it. THEN post what you find. Open questions like this aren't very helpful to a discussion.
According to the article there were about 15,000 close proximity cases between 2022band 2024. If those numbers are accurate then things don't seem to be as bad, air traffic-wise, than what we're being led to believe!
Ok, how so? I'm referring to the general lack of research and context that MAGA demonstrates daily. If there's detail left it seems like we're doing what they do. Or do I misunderstand "no"?
According to the article there were about 15,000 incidents of close proxemity from 2021 to 2024. That would suggest that what we're seeing now is simply because it's being reported more, not because it's happening more
Me either. It was the long game for Republicans. The dumbing down of America was their plan for over 50 years. People with lower education are easier to control. Look at the magats.
The #50501 is a culmination of all the groups protesting together. I joined the protest with #handsoffnow. But we were all the groups together yesterday. April 19th is the next one. Unless you live in Maine. We're having and have been protesting every weekend since March.
It's Biden or Obama's fault. Or is the DEI and woke ideology making this a weekly occurance. I know what we should do. Have Elon Musk place all the equipment and staff with his own. We can save hundreds of paychecks by giving him billions now.
Is this the same airport where the jet and helicopter collided? I thought they said they were banning military flights and operations around that airport? What the actual hell!?
I REPEAT! DEMOCRATS MUST GIVE AMERICANS A WAY TO EXPRESS THEIR ANGER! NOW! I have suggested a "Dollar for Democracy" nationwide campaign. Our leaders have failed & our allies think we don't care. GIVE US A WAY TO SAY "NO MORE." WE NEED MORE. We can't wait for the next election. WE NEED A WAY NOW!
I love all this winning. Good election choice folks. Sometimes, it counts to consider other reliable sources for your vote. PROJECT 2025 IS EVERYWHERE ONLINE.
I am flying from chicago to Mexico City next month with my entire family including t toddler. I am terrified for the first time in my life. Not only to fly but to come back into this country.
I was there when this happened, at the Washington Monument! The park was very crowded too. Already looks like the jets fly so close over the city.
And about 45 min before this flew by. I wonder if airspace was disrupted for this?
This would massively disrupt air travel, BUT we noticed the flights seemed to still be going, meaning maybe nobody notified the FAA of a VIP movement like the president! And about 10 min before or so there was a DC Police helicopter doing what looked like odd maneuvers around the monument area.
Pretty much, but you know what I mean. Just because the Trump administration is incredibly incompetent doesn't mean that our air traffic controllers and pilots aren't still great. Flying is safe, the administration is not.
Just flew to Hawaii. It was fine. Guessing the odds are still higher for a car accident. Despite this. I agree, going forward, driving instead of flying within continental US..

I have zero regrets now.

You know they're going to try to "pass the buck".
*Because Don previously said the buck stopped with him.
Seriously. Wtf are we doing?
2. Dulles is a nightmare in every respect.

I am so extremely happy that no one suffered a loss due to incompetent management and firings.

NTSB found it happened 15,000 times from 2021 - 2024, when Pete Buttigieg was in charge…

Diversity in flight routes
Equality in airspace
Inclusion of Military flights in civilian air traffic
I think I'll keep that meme, I will probably be using it a lot in the future.
..and I'm in JD's contact list!!!!!
Congress is not blame free either.
Now, let's just call it a day.

The issue is the airspace around National Airport being too damned congested and restricted for safe operations.
Plus, google is a thing. Search it up and post it.
Try, then ask for clarification or corrections.
I'm very aware of what you're doing here, fyi.
This is not the country I loved all my life anymore.
Ukraine support is April 6
Who is going to take responsivity for this and fucking fix it?
And about 45 min before this flew by. I wonder if airspace was disrupted for this?
I used to never be afraid, but now I am.
Fear
