The NTSB determined 67 people died in a preventable collision. Flight 5342 had 19 seconds of warning. ADS-B In would have given them 59. The ROTOR Act passed the Senate unanimously. The House must act. #AviationSafety #ADSB abelworks.com/content/2026-0…

ADS-B In integrated onto flight displays gives pilots a clear picture of the operating environment and more time to react. To close the gaps in the aviation safety net exposed by the PSA 5342 tragedy, the ALERT Act must require ADS-B In. bit.ly/3NDtEg9

The pilot is the last person in the ADS-B information chain, and in most airline cockpits today, the pilot is not in that chain at all. This is simply unacceptable.

Hi Jonathan. I know this is hard to remember sometimes but the entire government is controlled by the Republicans. All they have to do is actually offer to work with Democrats and stop voting no against the multiple bills they have proposed. TSA is unpaid because Republicans want you to suffer. I hope that clears things up. I’m kidding. You’ll always lie for them.

Somehow Republicans won the presidency, House, and Senate without the SAVE Act. Yet somehow they will never win again without it? All this while advocates cannot produce any credible evidence of mass voter fraud that is supposedly making it impossible for Republicans to win.

Pilots need technology – called ADS-B In – that will allow them to see other aircraft to prevent accidents like what happened over the Potomac. The NTSB recommends it. Contact your member of Congress and ask them to support this legislation. #ALPApilots alpa.quorum.us/campaign/153741

To close the gaps in the aviation safety net exposed by the PSA 5342 tragedy, the ALERT Act must require ADS-B In and close military loopholes. alpa.quorum.us/campaign/15374…

ADS-B In integrated onto flight displays gives pilots a clear picture of the operating environment and more time to react.

67 lives. 40 seconds. The @NTSB says integrated ADS-B In could have given PSA Flight 5342's crew 40 extra seconds to avoid the collision. The technology exists. It's ready. Tell Congress to improve the ALERT Act. bit.ly/3NDtEg9

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Safety concerns are mounting for airline pilots already grappling with drone incursions as the Middle East war puts hundreds of ballistic missiles and attack drones in the skies reut.rs/3NpgkvU

3 years ago, global pilot leaders from IFALPA, @ALPAPilots, @European_Pilots united to ensure every flight continues to be operated by at least 2 qualified pilots. That global effort continues for the safety of our shared skies. #SafetyStartsWith2 safetystartswith2.com/Video

Radar tracks aircraft every 5–12 seconds. ADS-B does it every second. That's not a minor upgrade –– it's a safety revolution. Tell Congress to support mandating ADS-B In for all aircraft operating in airspace where ADS-B Out is required ➡️ alpa.quorum.us/campaign/15374…

The @NTSB said it plainly: Flight 5342 was 100% preventable. The House must finish what the Senate started. Amend the ALERT Act to include a full ADS-B In mandate for aircraft in airspace where ADS-B Out is required. The ROTOR Act set the standard. Now it's time to meet it.

NTSB releases final report on Potomac Midair Collision Multiple factors are stated to have caused the crash. globalair.com/articles/ntsb-… #Globalair #AviationNews #AviationSafety #PotomacMidairCollision

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

Iowa public schools were once our state’s crown jewel — so much so that we proudly stamped “Foundation in Education” on our state’s quarter. But a decade of one-party rule has left our students, teachers, and schools behind. It's time we get back to our proud tradition of supporting education in Iowa.

Happy #InternationalCivilAviationDay, marking the anniversary of the establishment of @icao & highlighting the critical role that civil aviation plays in connecting the world, supporting sustainable development & fostering safe, secure &responsible air transport. #FlyDay #ICAO

Our hearts are with the families and colleagues of those lost in the tragic crash of UPS Flight 2976. ALPA stands in solidarity with our brothers and sisters at the @IPAPilotUnion and offers any support we can during this difficult time.
