Amtrak’s looking better and better but they’ll probably find a way to fuck with that, too. SMH

This is a massive danger in every sector. International relations, agriculture, city planning, nuclear facilities, you name it.

A student of mine suggested that this is at least somewhat a deliberate attempt to discourage people from taking air travel out of the country. I hate that that seems plausible.

Also for air travel inside the country. Less travel = more isolation. Also excuses to build more roads.

Plans for 2026 starting to look premature...

Fifty shades of just bad. I'm so sad this is direction it's going.

5th. One went down in Alaska last week, too, though weather may have been a factor.

Pretty accurate description of the whole Trump administration tbh.

It's been, what, three weeks? Good lord, there's gotta be a way to stop this.

This is why I am DREADING having to fly next month from Seattle to San Jose (and back) for work. :(

The sycophants won’t make it better, but General Aviation has always had more crashes than you’d think. They are just getting more attention after the commercial DC crash.

We’re screwed and scared. I’ll likely be out of the job in the coming months. As a woman over a certain age, working remotely due to medical issues, I’ll likely be erased from the planet in the coming year. I started with “they’ll never let him do that” Now it’s ”We’re f^cked” 😭

The news broke for this as I was getting to Sky Harbor (PHX.). Made it home ok, but it's my last flight until shit gets fixed.

freezing hires for an occupation (air traffic control) that is already overworked and understaffed is turning out brilliantly
