The only reason this goofball has any such position is he's an out-of-the-closet homosexual with a husband (or is it a wife?), whatever.
That he was a crappy mayor of a small city was, I guess, never really considered by the blithering idiots in the United States Senate who overwhelmingly approved his nomination.
As the head of a Cabinet Department, he previously disappeared last year for several months when he and his whatever adopted a child or two and he took leave, and the MSM nor basically anyone called a Cabinet Department head out for that.
He's a clown and incompetent. No wonder people talk of him as a potential Democratic Party Presidential nominee.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was warned months ago about the worsening airline chaos, and is now coming under fire for failing to address the issue, the Daily Mail reports.
New York attorney general Letitia James first informed Buttigieg of the potential for airline chaos on August 2, warning the Transportation Secretary of an "escalating pattern of airlines delaying and canceling flights."
The Christmas period saw tens of thousands of passengers stranded at airports, the vast majority of them due to canceled or delayed Southwest Airlines flights.
Even in July, 29 percent of Southwest's flights were delayed. "Airlines knowingly advertising and booking flights they do not have adequate staff to operate are flying in the face of the law," James said at the time.
A month later, a bipartisan group of 38 state attorneys wrote to Congress that Buttigieg's department had "failed to respond and to provide appropriate recourse" for the numerous cancellations and "systematic failures to provide required credits to those who lost travel opportunities."
The letter, dated August 31, points out that "state attorneys general have little to no authority to hold airline companies accountable for unacceptable behavior towards consumers," and that without adequate oversight from the Department of Transportation, major airlines have ben allowed to "mistreat consumers."
"Americans are justifiably frustrated that federal government agencies charged with overseeing airline consumer protection are unable or unwilling to hold the airline industry accountable and to swiftly investigate complaints submitted to the Department of Transportation," the letter says.
James presented Buttigieg with a series of recommendations, such as imposing stiff fines for domestic flight delays of more than two hours.
In September, Buttigieg said, "I think it's going to get better by the holidays. We're really pressing the airlines to deliver better service."
