Ill also add that since I got into this business, the complaints about ATC funding, inadequate staffing, and lagging technology have never stopped.

---

Thankfully Trump has already frozen ATC hiring, disbanded the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee, offered buyouts/retirements to all existing, experienced ATCs (as well as the TSA, etc), and of course tried to freeze research grants for things like, say, better ATC technology. That should help.

Blatant lies from smapty. Not surprised the fake arbiters of truth have not corrected this due to their TDS. Federal air traffic controllers are exempt from the hiring freeze. More fake news/misinformation/gaslighting from the left.

This is why democrats are flailing in polls.

---

yeah none of this matters relative to this accident.

---

Yeah. I expected that to be when you'd police response, per usual. Feign outrage and judge, fake ass.

---

um, I'm agreeing with you.

Of course it doesn't matter relative to this incident.

Anyway, Trump's orders have tended to be poorly written and confusing, so there is a lot of conflicting info going around, but it does look like ATCs were exempt from the hiring freeze. It's not clear if they were offered buyouts, though, along with huge swaths of the government. The TSA apparently was. Trump did disband the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee, and of course tried to freeze all research grants.

The point is that this plane crash was a perfectly timed metaphor for what these guys are about to do to this country. "Dismantle the gubmint" makes a great bumper sticker for folks who aren't good at thinking about things for more than 30 seconds, but it's going to have wide-ranging unintended negative consequences.

Yesterday we lost so many bright talents, among them thirteen year old Jinna Han. Every testimony about Jinna regards her as a selfless, positive, and extremely hard working person. Jinna would’ve turned junior next season and we honour her and her immense talent today 🕊️ pic.twitter.com/PbUTyo2Ivt
