ITS ILLEGAL BAN IT AND TAKE AWAY 25 POINTS FROM BOTH MERCS!!!

Posted this days ago. Now the FIA is looking at it.

Important note regarding the accident at LaGuardia Airport. United 2384 wanted to return to gate. Odor in back of plane. Pilot couldn’t raise anyone at United to help get him a gate. Air traffic controller tried to help. There were no gates. Pilot asked for fire truck. 1/2

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

@MMAdamMartin Let's worry about him being pissed .....??

Dana White is at the #UFCLondon post-fight press conference and looks super pissed. Can't blame him. The card tonight was bad.

@brent_giauque @RaidersBeat Enjoy the drink

@RaidersBeat They were trying to pair them 2gether ya douche. Just ask Trey 👍

Report: Maxx Crosby and his family were in the Ravens’ building while the Baltimore GM was trying to sign Trey Hendrickson… “Things just seemed really off in the building all day. Something wasn’t right.” raidersbeat.com/ravens-called-…

Ellis then Chenal back to back hurts… From being “in” on Lloyd to missing on all the top LB’s is brutal for the Bengals

@pauldehnerjr What is their problem, just feels like self-sabotage sometimes, good day yesterday and now this. This contract was digestible

Well, the #Bengals linebacker quest just got more interesting. Certainly not a crazy contract. We'll see on the pivot, but we'll be looking back on this moment. Seemed an ideal fit for what they were seeking.

@DevinLloyd_ Let’s Make A Deal🐅

Devin Lloyd next?! #Bengals

@LndsPatterson Devin Lloyd

Bengals LB news tonight?

@SleeperBengals Absolutely love his game, would change our defense

Imagine if the Bengals sign this guy too…

@DuBoseDefense 💯

What's the Statute of Limitations on stardom? Justin Thomas has to be pushing it.
