  1. Tell you what, do a little experiment starting tomorrow where you whip out your dick and use it to touch every woman you see out and about. Report back on how that goes for you.
  2. The point was exactly what I wrote. I made zero commentary except to say that Trump disbanded the committee and that there are other key positions charged with oversight of the aviation community that are open. That’s all. That’s the point.
  3. We should be increasing funding on transportation. Our infrastructure is awful compared to our peers. We desperately need to be investing in it.
  4. The point(s): 1. Federal employees, including federally employed ATC (some towers are staffed with private controllers) received a letter this week offering deferred resignation. ATC is already woefully understaffed and overworked nationwide. Some have questioned the wisdom of offering deferred resignation to a highly specialized workgroup with a critical safety mission that is already overworked and understaffed. The DCA tower was understaffed at the time of the accident. There is supposed to be one controller talking to helos and one talking to fixed wing aircraft. At the time of the collision, one controller was talking to both. 2. Trump disbanded all advisory committees within DHS, including the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee. In addition, he fired the head of TSA and the head of the FAA resigned prior to Trump’s inauguration so there are a lot of vacancies in the areas that have oversight of safety in aviation at the moment.
  5. Again, not a buyout, and I don’t understand the point that you’re trying to make here. We already know what the cause of the accident was. Our president told us earlier today and subsequently signed an EO this afternoon that assigned blame.
  6. I’ve had this happen to me off and on all day. It seems to go away if you wait a couple of seconds and refresh.
  7. The tower at DCA is currently staffed with a headcount of 19 when the staffing model calls for 30. They’re already understaffed by more than a third.
  8. It’s not a buyout. Also, your 6% number is bullshit. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/how-many-federal-workers-are-in-the-office-full-time-why-its-not-6/3828825/
  9. What does Tom’s brother have to do with any of this?
  10. You’re not ever going to put that genie back in the bottle. There’s way too many dollars flowing to senators from out of perimeter states. On top of that, IAD is a dump and it’s 30 miles outside of DC proper.
  11. Clown show of an administration that is wholly unprepared and unqualified to respond to a disaster.
  12. It has to be a kick to the nuts of the ATC community to have POTUS hold a press conference and throw their entire profession under the bus. I can’t imagine that will be good for morale or safety.
  13. Welp, you told me you could give 2 fucks if I subscribed so I listened.
  14. Might as well just shut it down.
  15. Well, fuck us all for having opinions and thoughts on a, checks notes, message board. I guess we all forgot that once the oracle has spoken we’re supposed to just shut the fuck up and not post a response. Seems like a great way to encourage content.
  16. Excellent job fostering a healthy discussion.
  17. I think that’s a reflection of the current environment in politics and our society. The last vestiges of decorum are hanging on for dear life. We’ve become a society that not only tolerates hostility, but encourages it with who we vote for and how we interact with each other.
  18. Beard? On his home court?
  19. “They are either lying to us or critically incompetent.”
  20. Spirit is in bankruptcy. Throw them some government cheese with deportation charters and help save some American jobs.
