Well, after a month of fatal mid-collisions and near misses the Trump Administration now wants to gut the FAA, the agency that regulates air safety.

Good move Trumpers.

Now that trump has your attention maybe a compromise can be worked out if FAA hiring standards are improved

I heard that next they are going after all those wasteful traffic lights and stop signs. Nobody needs to be told to look out for other cars at intersections. Some liberal is making a fortune on all those signs and lights.

The skies actually become safer when you fire DEI hires.

What an argument! Let Trump make flying dangerous so he can make a point. Lol

Perhaps not yet, but just wait till a few more planes crash. That will give him the leverage he wants.

Yeah, like flying is safer with fewer controllers and radar techs..only in the bizarro world known as Trumplandia.

We dont know that its more dangerous

These were trainees not experienced air traffic controllers

In order to train a new employee an experienced person had to split his attention from normal duties

First, how the hell do you know it is not more dangerous.

Second, wasn’t it just in the news that the FAA was tremendously understaffed and the workers were already stressed.

By design, DEI lowers standards. It has been proven. Attributes are placed at a higher premium above skills sets.

As per post #2 we can reform the FFA and actually increase staff with the money being wasted on lgbtq bullshit here and overseas

Are you telling me that "a month of fatal mid-collisions and near misses" is part of the FAA's accomplishments? If Trump fires them I will be waiting with glee to see their CV when they apply for their next job application.

Who is gonna replace that 10% who are quitting because of staffing shortages?

Trump has gotten rid of so many experienced and knowledgable people since becoming Emperor that we are left with empty desks or clueless toadies and loyalists.

It's a dark time in our history, but we have survived worse. Democracy is under duress like it has not been in well over a century.

Those accidents all occurred under Trump’s watch. It will only get worse.
