This is what Elon Musk and Sean Duffy have made of the FAA: "MSNBC's Tom Costello claimed Friday that an air traffic controller who works at Newark airport said, ‘It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public. Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.’”
All of the people who were fired knew how to operate the equipment, regardless of its level of technology. Musk created a staffing issue which grew into a morale issue, that's culminating as a safety issue.
All for the purpose of weaseling his Starlink WTF ever grift for his own profit.
All approaching, incoming, landing, takeoffs and ground operations aircraft run by AI, what could possibly go wrong.
I’ll stick with grass runways and parachutes.
And I'll stick with four wheels and all the fantastic "points in between."
You let me know when you can drive to Europe or Asia.
I'm a domestic cat.
I believe the ATC guy.
Fixed. Nazi Elon Musk...
Don't fly into Newark
"Avoid Newark at all costs."? I've been told that that's good advice in general. 😆
don't think people get how serious it is for them to walk. THEY-ARE-NOT-GOING-TO-BE-FORCED-INTO-A-POSITION-THAT-KILLS-PEOPLE. They are accustomed to stress, but not going to be the fall guys for getting people killed. Meanwhile Musk is in hiding, drag his ass out, fucking idiot!!
The MuskEffect. Corporate raid, collapse of all functions, strip for parts, depart.
It won't be just Newark either. If Newark is compromised, the rest of the network will be, particularly as other airlines route around Newark.
Soon flying at all will be both unsafe and unaffordable
Musk and Duffy, bravo 👏 , you fuckin morons.
Yesterday two flights refused their landing orders at DCA (Ronald Reagan National Airport) because a blackhawk was circling the pentagon and Philly had issues too.
Here’s the source info for the DCA event bsky.app/profile/nyti...
probably because Elon got rid of some of the "red tape" that prevented military aircraft from flying in certain areas at certain times
So the Duffy vs Elon continues is your suggestion? abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireS...
It's Elon vs everyone. He's blowing gigantic holes in all the things that make the government function. Sometimes it's because he doesn't understand what those things do, sometimes it's because he's openly hostile to what those government departments do.
I don’t know your sex/gender but you’re mansplaining is very 🥱. We’ve been boycotting Musk for a long time (and so have many other Americans). He’s a privileged POS who trashes everything. That’s been Musk’s business legacy.
I was looking for somebody to reskeet the information about this situation and your post was a perfect encapsulation. I followed you and then discovered you were a contributing editor to one of our nation's premiere publications. That is no accident. Thank you.
