The pilot in command, who identifies as a Furry, was doing her business in the cockpit litter box at the time of the incident. The first office, an immigrant Mudman from New Guinea, was too short to see out the windshield.

Surely some more layoffs will make air travel safer.

MTG says that none of those people held real jobs.

And, after they've suffered fiery deaths, airline passengers hold no jobs at all.

Ah, the Trump economy.

So given the facts are out, and the plane was being told to stop and just failed to listen... how is this Trumps fault again?

Biden was responsible for the price of eggs.

Trump is responsible for the price of eggs.

You don't have eggs?

It's been his attempt to cause chaos. Had Biden caused this sort of chaos at the FAA and planes went down, he'd rightfully get the blame. And you'd be first in line throwing stones.

Go back and find one quote of myself pointing blame at Biden... I wasn't a Biden supporter, but I also haven't been vocal in trying to pin the daily minutia on him either.

I've been pretty steady with looking to hold blame on issue until details come out. So looking at actual track record, you can go ------- swallow it.

What has changed?

Donald Trump is back.

It will just get worse,

Until perhaps even you will blame him for "minutia" such as horrific plane wrecks.

Careful, this kind of reasoning is how you end up understanding a half million dead Americans from COVID was Trump's fault.

Back before you went on your hiatus, you were saying the number was a million. Which is it?

Working in biotech during a novel disease global pandemic will do that to a person.

"Essential Worker" was a term applied throughout the labor force.

I guess you must not be one, or work with any.

"Duffy said during an interview in early February that he planned to offer air traffic controllers an option to keep working past 56, the mandatory retirement age, in an effort to bolster safety and retain talent."

An option to work past a mandatory retirement age in one of the most stressful jobs in the country "to bolster safety." MAGAt logic is simply outstanding. Maybe they should fire all the controllers and let the pilots sort it out. Now THAT would save money.
