I truly hate this whole situation and there are only 2 options... 1. He is cleared of any wrong doing and continues to be our senator. Which I hate. 2. He is just as guilty as his BFF and there are more victims out there that have been run through hell so this guy can be in power.

@Mrmosman66 @whatsuptucson F16s returning to Davis Monthan. Just a very late (or early return). Nothing invidious about it.

@MCCCANM Air travel is about to slow way down! Yes SFO is big news, but smaller airports are changing the way they do some things also!

🚨 BREAKING: Potomac TRACON, the key radar facility handling D.C. airspace, has been evacuated to “ATC ZERO” according to FAA alerts. The FAA is now implementing ground stops for flights to Reagan National, Dulles, BWI, Charlottesville and Richmond airports.

F-86, F-84F, F-4E, and F-15B at the Luke AFB Airpark. This F-15 was the first operational Eagle delivered to the Air Force in November 1974, and the F-4 shot down a MiG-21 over North Vietnam in September 1972.

@BuzzPatterson People will say fix it, fix it, fix it! And I will be a hot item for a couple weeks, then it will all go away, until another accident happens. It's a vicious cycle.

A month ago, the national price of gasoline as $2.93 a gallon. Today it's $3.94. One man is to blame: Donald Trump.

Yep! They felt the pinch and forced staffing at places they shouldn't have. It really has become a numbers game. Quantity not quality. I'm at a busy level 8, and we have 8 new people. 4 have never spoke to an airplane, 2 have schooling and 2 are prior military. They all should have started at a slow VFR tower

@AlanCline09 @MCCCANM When I was in we were lucky to get 1 day OT per year. You also started in lower level facilities and worked your way up to busier facilities. But they took PCS money away and made the new kids go straight to busy places. All mismanagement.

Worth noting that the ATC staffing shortage has been more than a decade in the making. I first became aware in 2023, when I ran a simple experiment & found the majority were working 6 days a week, mandatory overtime, sometimes for years. We desperately need to fix it.

The question was simple: “Is it true you are working 6 days a week & can’t get spot leave?” The rules were that I wouldn’t ask if radios were busy, wouldn’t ask Tower (critical phase of flight) or below 10k’ (Sterile Cockpit rule). Here’s my tally: 2/5

@welshwitch78 @david_nolewajka @BuzzPatterson I say 2010, I started with the FAA in 2007, and staffing was decent at that time. We went from have 20-22 CPC, then retirements started hitting hard. And now we went at 11-14 in a 24 hour facility

I’d say longer than that. The bow wave post-1981 started a bit earlier. Add to that finding qualified applicants, Academy wash out rates, and developmental to journeymen training time - in addition to Airline desire for more slots and static concrete, this isn’t going to resolve overnight if they hired 10k of controllers today.

It’s time, finally, for our government to address the manning of FAA controllers nationwide. This is an accident that’s been waiting to happen for years. Years! Our government can’t kick the can any longer. There’s no way that one guy should ever be responsible for both the ground and tower functions. This controller did the best he could. He was overwhelmed. Hire qualified applicants and dump DEI. ASAP!

Here’s CCTV footage capturing the exact moment Air Canada Express Flight AC8646, a Bombardier CRJ-900, collided with a Port Authority fire truck at LaGuardia Airport last night.

@AVintageAviator @CorvusCrypto @MCCCANM I have no idea if he is AI or not, but he isn't wrong. Secretary Duffy is not responsible for where my career field is at, but he definitely is in a position to fix it. I have ideas!

@SamuelRen14 @MCCCANM I can't speak for LGA, but facilities I have been too, Supervisors are only there till 10pm max. Mid shifts (normally 10pm-6am) only have controllers on duty, minimum 2 CPC.

@MCCCANM Wouldn’t there also be a supervisor at LGA besides the one controller?

So, I am reading through the replies to my posts. There are a bunch of idiots who think these trails are "water vapor". I don't want to fight or debate so I block them. Not worth my time to fight them. 1/2 see comments
