there was a shortage in 2020. Biden made it worse. Trump is fixing it. Also they didn’t fire air traffic controllers under Trump

@WhiskeyBiscut

A shortage of ATC was an issue when Biden took office 4 years ago. Mayor Pete was in charge of addressing the shortage. They had 4 years to address it and did nothing. Now your outraged? And somehow, Biden mentioned as he was leaving office that he wanted to hire 2000 ATC'ers

This is not the story you think it is. The education and standards for ATCs was severely degraded by the Biden administration. Air travel close calls have been increasing year over year. Nothing Trump did in a month impacted what was already in motion.

Did not fire controllers Other faa staff

You forgot the 1st act

Please take a logics course.

Why did Biden lower the standards?

I bet this hits hard if you don’t understand the difference

There's a difference between "top notch" employees and just hiring an air traffic controller because they're a black lesbian but have no merit or skills.

Yes, we're hiring Air Traffic Controllers because we need more of them. Brilliant. Oh, you were hoping we'd think that Trump has been firing them? No, sweetie. We're not nearly as stupid as you are.

Ignorance must be a hell of a drug

Look at this dumbass pretending he doesn’t know that no ATC were fired, including even the DEi hires that will inevitably cause disaster

You guys just continue to lie. Air traffic controller hiring was never frozen. That is a verifiable fact. Find a better attack line, it’s honestly pathetic.

"IDENT if you support Ukraine..."

Everything Musk does is to sell hardware/services to the USG that we already had in some other capacity. He'll claim FAA can't staff properly and that SpaceX has to now do air traffic control, and has to use StarLink. He might even have it all done offsite at SpaceX facilities.

Starlink poised to takeover $2.4 billion contract to overhaul air traffic control communication

For context, Air Traffic Controllers are forced to retire at age 56. Even if they want to come back, they can't

The next being close calls and crashes?

Hold out for a,50% wage increase

How come?

Isn’t ATC retirement mandatory?

Anyone want to tell Musk that there's a MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE for ATC's?

Mandatory retirement age.

Musk has the contract is now hiring. This is corruption!

It’s almost like they’re bad at governing.

The “pyromaniac-fireman syndrome”. Seeking to be a hero, the fireman sets a fire and the swoops in to save us all. That is what’s happening over and over here, all the while diminishing confidence in the system (by virtue of their fire-setting.) The extreme of irresponsibility.

8 US code 8335. Mandatory retirement for air traffic controllers at age 56, certain exceptions up to age 61. For safety Grandad is fine driving but really, his eyesight and reflexes aren’t what they used to be. He shouldn’t be making split second decisions on air traffic

Musk canceled Verizon contract at FAA to install Starlink. Research that one Sam.

ATC controllers retire early because it’s a very high stress job and they can’t afford mistakes. Elon is going to get people killed. And he will blame others for it.

You are so ignorant it’s painful to watch. The reason ATCs are in a shortage is because your political party hates white people. FAA people let go under Trump are a few probationary employees that are not controllers.
