Let me hammer this in:

-I have endlessly reminded people that US commercial aviation is a *miracle* of cooperative, collaborative safety systems, studied and admired around the world.

-What could make me say: 'Start worrying about getting on an airliner'? Exactly this. Musk bros in the mix.

🛑🛑🛑 I cannot stress this enough:

Introducing Elon Musk into commercial aviation safety will be disastrous. Both Tesla & SpaceX have been cited by the US government for numerous safety failings.

Pair that with misleading advertising and you see a total disregard for the safety of the public.

I doubt poorly educated Elmo knows Sejanus' fate.

antiqueorunique.bsky.social•16 days ago

I worked with hundreds of professionals that maintained the NAS Airspace System. I cannot imagine how they are feeling right now.

mudsludge.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah I won't be flying anytime soon

airplaney.bsky.social•17 days ago

And this is the biggest issue in the short-term -- completely undermining the confidence of the travelling public in the safety of our air traffic systems.

I keep saying: Muskbros accidentally helping the environment by making people afraid to fly

edwoodk.bsky.social•15 days ago

The catastrophe of Boeing with their 737 MAX airliners already had be nervous about flying. I had overcome a fear of flying but guess what? It is back in full force and it's not an IRRATIONAL now. Thanks to Musk & his Incel Minions.

From a CFI and erstwhile airline pilot: hear hear.

jolly1766.bsky.social•17 days ago

We're going to have another major crash this year.

kevdog.bsky.social•17 days ago

I don't think it will take that long, sadly.

jolly1766.bsky.social•16 days ago

You may well be right.

catcan.bsky.social•17 days ago

Well the DC crash got swept under the rug fast enough.

sanelunatic.bsky.social•17 days ago

That was my immediate reaction, too. The same idiot who brought us exploding rocket ships is now in charge of our planes? TIME TO STAY OFF THE PLANES.
Go by boat. Drive your car. Just do NOT put your life in Elon Musk's hands.

raflw.bsky.social•17 days ago

If anyone cancels their plane tickets, I beg of you, and I'm 100% serious, here.
Print out the cancellation (blur the conf# if you want) and a copy of Duffy's tweet and mail them both to the airline with a short handwritten message saying "I've lost all confidence in the safety of flying".

kathleenweldon.bsky.social•17 days ago

I have never been afraid of flying, but Im flying in a week, and Im very nervous

Might be the last time in a long time

flyingpace.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yes! Feedback forms for the major airlines are below. Tell your elected reps you’re doing this, too, and that you won’t feel safe flying until Trump’s out of power. (See my pinned post for more.)

As someone who flies constantly for work, this makes me want to puke. Musk simply does not care about safety and the lives of others. People need to get with the idea that these people in control of the gov right now *want* a body count.

merz.bsky.social•17 days ago

If y'all think Boeing's malfeasance was bad, it was *NOTHING* compared to what happens if Musk's yahoos start messing with ATC systems.

mtnthc.bsky.social•17 days ago

And Tesla removed lidar from their cars, which is actually essential for any possibility of have safe self driving capabilities. Do note, you can blind Tesla's cameras with strobe type infrared lights. #fuckmusk #fucktrump

Elon, from within his private jet aircraft, says, "Well, to make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs."

This is painful.

Grok as ATC 😬

350agl.bsky.social•17 days ago

💯 it’s a great model a model that seeks defined any and all reasons for why something might happen and then immediately try and design that problem out of the possibilities that could occur. I can’t think of any enterprise that does this this well. I’m a pretty big fan of the NTSB.

greenrod7.bsky.social•10 days ago

Big news: get ready for a lot of plane crashes...

fredmckinlay.bsky.social•17 days ago

That would be a huge cluster fck, and aviation safety would work about as well as the shitty Tesla FSD...

nclud.bsky.social•17 days ago

Fuck. We have a flight scheduled for the entire family next weekend to scout a possible move. I'm not excited now

sarafoss.bsky.social•17 days ago

Honestly, I have never been afraid to fly but since Trump and Musk came on the scene, I have been wondering if it will still be safe

sarahmerch.bsky.social•17 days ago

Musk’s recklessness/arrogance/competence seems like the folkiest concern. But it’s hard to ignore the incentive he has to break the air traffic system so that he can get a noncompete to replace it.

darwinwoodka.bsky.social•17 days ago

I hope every ATC will commit to keeping his fucking plane in the air til it runs out of fuel

laurathorsett.bsky.social•17 days ago

Question: I know that pilots can say that they're not comfortable flying a plane even if mechanics etc. sign off, and then they don't fly that plane. Can that happen in this kind of situation as well?

dennisdoubleday.bsky.social•17 days ago

"Move fast and break things" is great for social apps.

scarfface.bsky.social•17 days ago

hiring the best candidates from broad backgrounds to create a collaborative and professional workforce: woke and corrupt

hiring the presidents biggest donor and his high school goon squad: meritocracy

mbomara.bsky.social•17 days ago

Plus the Boring tunnels in Las Vegas

all-a-mort.bsky.social•17 days ago

They'll make flying on a US airline or inside the US as dangerous as it is in Russia.

robhon.bsky.social•17 days ago

This one and NOAA really hit home.

There is no possible way Musk’s cadre of young’uns has the first clue about how complex either the aviation system or the climate system are. This is like handing a six year old the keys and saying, “You drive for a while, I’m going to take a nap in the back."

human333777.bsky.social•17 days ago

People already need to stop flying unless is a life or death necessity. After 67 dead, it is clearly not safe to fly in the us under the reign of trump

4legsrgood.bsky.social•17 days ago

I have been flying for literally my entire life. Took my first flight as a one month old infant.

I don’t think I want to get on a plane now.

mcslaven.bsky.social•17 days ago

"let's *disrupt* this system that is actually miraculously effective at having planes not crash"

squanner.bsky.social•17 days ago

And when that first bad thing happens, count on their saying that no one told them that commenting out that particular run of code was dangerous.

Changing systems without even a smidgeon of domain expertise is insane.

se7en-driver.bsky.social•17 days ago

It seems quite likely that if this gets traction you're going to see a massive walk-off by pilots.

pilotken.bsky.social•17 days ago

Cost of business we all need to sacrifice! Well for Leon he’ll hammer on Boeing and Blue Origin for everything but he’s being stifled by the FAA. I’d had hoped with the last FAA lead progress was being made. So much backsliding

alworiginal.bsky.social•17 days ago

We could boycott all airline travel for a day - a week to protest if this happens. Airline CEOs would freak the f out.

rds773.bsky.social•16 days ago

If you do this, be sure to TELL the airlines what you’re doing and why

Just ghosting them doesn’t work
