Trump blames DC air crash on workers with "severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions"
President Donald Trump is suggesting that the Federal Aviation Administration’s diversity efforts has made air travel less safe.
You're viewing a single thread.
Timeline:
Jan 20 - Federal Aviation Administration Director fired.
Jan. 21 - Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
Jan. 22 - Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
Jan. 28 - Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
Jan. 29 - first American mid-air collision in 16 years
By golly, Trump is actually correct. Someone with severe intellectual disabilities did fuck us over.
It's mind boggling anyone would even try to dismantle the FAA- they're one of the most boring organizations out there and their #1 concern is safety. There's even tons of money to be made while worrying about safety, so it is so odd to do this. Trying to reduce air traffic controllers is an insane idea in general- without them everyone's flying blind. It's gonna take decades to figure out all the damage this moron has done just like with Reagan
And it's one of the most useful government offices if you're a billionaire who travels by plane everywhere. Plebs who have to drive everywhere are a lot less affected by overworked, overstressed, underpaid ATCs than guys like him.
Well thanks to the ElonJet guy they know where all the important planes are.... Who needs flight control when you have xcom /s
