Dispatchers United

As the beyond line of sight experts who understand the NAS and hold an @FAANews airman’s certificate, Flight Dispatchers are ideally suited to be planners for future eVTOL operations. We can keep eVTOL ops safe and in sync with regulations. techcrunch.com/2021/02/10/arc…

I thought about doing this without any jokes, something I've never done here in 23 years, to impress upon people how much different I feel this issue is from any I have ever covered.

For nearly 7 years there have been no direct commercial flights between the U.S. and Venezuela. Under President Trump we're changing that today. Flights between Miami and Caracas restored.

Looks like @FAA_Bryan is at @united's NOC in Chicago today:

Over 60 years of PAFCA expertise meeting with the @FAANews Administrator in the @U_AIR_NOC today.

Today, 20+ labor groups urged Congress to expand the overtime tax deduction to millions more workers. The No Tax on Overtime for All Workers Act would provide deserved tax relief to working families. One year to go until next #TaxDay -- let's get it done. ttd.org/policy/letters…

@BernieSanders In the face of the growing threat of Al and robotics, it is more important than ever that workers have a say in their workplace. U.S. Senator @SenSanders hosted a rally with @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani and @FlyingWithSara to strengthen the labor movement and expand worker power. Thank you @MannyPastreich @JulieSuLabor & @32BJSEIU We Don't Play💜 #WeMakeNYCHome #UnionNow

AFA joined 20+ labor groups in urging Congress to expand the overtime tax deduction. The current tax code uses a limited definition of overtime that exempts nearly all transportation workers, including Flight Attendants. Read the letter: ttd.org/policy/letters…

"We have three companies that are working right now with us on developing software to look at even how flights are managed," @SecDuffy tells @ShelbyTalcott when discussing how the @USDOT is using AI to modernize FAA systems.

SCOOP: The FAA is quietly developing a new AI-powered software tool for air traffic management that could fundamentally change how the U.S. airspace system operates. Palantir, Thales, Airspace Intelligence all bidding. via @theaircurrent: theaircurrent.com/air-traffic-co…

No autopilot. No radios. No checklist for what they were facing. Over the jungles of Colombia, the crew of United Flight 854 had one shot to get everyone home. They did. This is what 3 pilots and decades of training look like under pressure. Learn more: bit.ly/4tdVzTT
