Trump’s FAA Flop: Skies Crumble While He Cruises in Qatar’s Golden Jet

[Conservative from Georgia]

The skies are a dumpster fire and Trump’s FAA is pouring gasoline on it! Newark Liberty’s a chaos hub with delays, cancellations and a 90-second radar blackout that sent controllers into therapy. Understaffed towers, Stone Age tech and a hiring freeze have the Northeast corridor choking with JFK catching the same heat. Trump’s big fix? A flashy air traffic overhaul that’s DOA without Congress’s cash while his DOGE cuts bleed the agency dry. He’s dodging blame, pointing fingers at Biden and Buttigieg but the system’s been a mess since the 90s and his policies are just spiking the turbulence.


Meanwhile, Trump’s grinning over a $400M Boeing 747-8 “gifted” by Qatar for Air Force One, a bribery-scented flying palace that won’t even soar for years. Reagan National’s mourning 67 souls lost in a mid-air crash and he’s out here playing deflection instead of fixing the rot. It’s a transparent scam: he promises aviation glory but leaves us stuck in terminal hell. Got thoughts? Spill, anyone trapped in an airport or know other hubs getting slammed? Let’s roast this sky-high shitshow!

And they worried about the Biden Crime Family's 20 LLC's that made $20 lousy million dollars over 20 years. Republicans are so pathetic but it works because voters are stupid.

Just remember, Republicans defended and cheered on Bush just as much as they are Trump now. How did that work out? Today none of them will admit they liked Bush but he did win 2 terms.

And they liked him enough to go along with when he stole Florida in 2000

Republicans don't know how brainwashed they are. Cognitive Dissonance.

Ya dont make ATC's overnite and Trump didn't create the problem....do try some honesty

 

[ReinyDays]

The Biden Administration had FOUR YEARS to fix this ... but all they wanted was kickbacks from solar panel companies ...

 

[The Irish Ram]

system’s been a mess since the 90s

And Buttgig did nothing about it. Newark closed one of its runways for repair, but didn't reduce the number of flights taking off and landing.

If it’s been a problem since the 90’s why didn’t your white god Biden fix it?

This is a fair argument.

A literal "sky is falling!" Thread.

So fixing the national airspace system will cost so much they don't publish a number.
The good news is that they will fix the mess.

After Newark Meltdown, FAA Has Plan To Fix ‘1960s’ National Airspace System

"Today, we are seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a brand new, state-of-the-art air traffic control system," said the U.S. Transportation Secretary.

After Newark Meltdown, FAA Has Plan To Fix ‘1960s’ National Airspace System​

“Under President Trump, America is building again. Today, we are seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a brand new, state-of-the-art air traffic control system,” said Duffy. “Decades of neglect have left us with an outdated system that is showing its age. Building this new system is an economic and national security necessity, and the time to fix it is now. The unprecedented coalition of support we’ve assembled – from labor to industry – is indicative of just how important it is to this administration to get done what no one else could. The American people are counting on us, and we won’t let them down.”

Close second for Irony post of the day.

Nothing actually about the topic at hand.

FAA embroiled in lawsuit alleging it turned away 1,000 applicants based on race — that contributed to staffing woes

The crux of the lawsuit is that the FAA, under the Obama administration, dropped a skill-based system for hiring controllers and replaced it with a “biographical assessment” in an alleged bid to boost the number of minority job applicants.

That's awful!

When did he fly in that jet?

Someone needs to go to jail for this mess. We need air traffic controllers, and the Biden admin turned the most qualified ones away after finishing school? If not jail, then a civil suit.

You know, you almost have to hope for their sake, that the LEFTISTS on here are getting paid to post, no matter how paltry the pay is. Because it is 100% obvious, nobody is buying their propaganda anymore, so if they aren't making anything, they are just spitting into the wind and getting a spit shower back for their trouble.

The lawsuit goes back to the Obama admin, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Biden admin did the same thing.

the new SOT is taking steps to improve and fix the problems ... what did Mayor Peat do in the 4 yrs he was SOT ..

 

[The Irish Ram]

My brother-in-law is a pilot for United and the air national guard. Our pilots were told that from now on, instead of basing the hiring on ability, it would be based on DEI. For instance, the woman that flew the helicopter into the plane, should not have been flying that helicopter. And you can expect more of the same.
This has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with Obama, Biden, and Buttgig.

 

[Winston]

the new SOT is taking steps to improve and fix the problems ... what did Mayor Peat do in the 4 yrs he was SOT ..

Yes, with his vast experience in the transportation sector.

All of this existed before Trump took office.
