ATC in Trump's crosshairs

[🦈💜]

Its alive and well. Which is why a man in charge invited a bunch of people to his house to talk about something he doesn't know anything about. Before he tells someone that is in charge of fixing the thing that needs fixing he talked to some dudes that know something about what needs fixing more than he does. Good for him. Who cares if LAX is 7th and ATL is 1st? Petty BS. He was making light hearted banter. Referring to his pilot of his 757, he was trying to relate in an offhand moment. For all we know, when the scum, I mean press, left the room he put on his game face and got down to business and knew as much as the out of touch CEO's. We just don't know. Unless we were in that room we'll never know. No matter how many newspapers we read or how many times we visit the occupydemocrats website to get our marching orders.

Yeah, ok. In other news, since you're a babbling brook of bullcrap over there, let me just reply with a bunch of youtube music videos.

Oh, wait... I almost forgot... I'm not a dick, and I believe in open debate and dissent.

I guess that makes me a special snowflake.

Found the longer video of the conversation. CEOs giving him information and him just repeating, "Yeah it's a bad system that's over budget." "Is the head of the FAA a pilot?" "The system is probably outdated as soon as it comes out huh? Yeah it's also way over budget." Etc.. I understand he's not supposed to understand the nuances of every industry, but he should be able to hold a basic conversation and not just ask, "What do you need from us?" and then just keep repeating the quotes i posted above.

Every pilot I've met is probably the smartest person they know, so it only stands to reason that a pilot should run the FAA. (Can envision every conservative nut job I've flown with saying, "YUP! This guys gets it" when Trump says a pilot should be running the show.) But I completely disagree that a pilot NEEDS to be at the helm of the FAA.

Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble according to several people that won't give their names we can write stories about total BS.

Are you going to contribute to troll or actually contribute?

Ok, I haven't talked to every, single, exacting member of the USA, USAF, USN, USMC, and USCG in order to get your answer here. But yes, veterans in general were quite offended that the president couldn't seemingly be bothered to pronounce the word right. And as I said before, I even defended the president for the reasons I described before.....he may not have logically known, as that's likely not a word he uses, but his staff should've had that covered for him at some point.



I don't like his off the cuff remarks any more than I like his use of twitter. I think Trump needs to very much polish up the former, and throttle way back on the latter.



Like I said with Obama, his staff didn't help him with that gaffe. And they should've caught that. See above with regards to what I think Trump is faltering in and some areas he needs to improve his presentation. Otherwise, he's only going to open himself up to saying/doing dumb things.



My case is stated plainly and clearly. And the concept is valid......it's leadership 101 for a senior official regards who is responsible for what.

This Vet was pretty okay with Obama, and is very, very concerned about Trump.

?

Seriously? You're a smart guy, even for a Rutgers grad. If you have that much difficulty in seeing your own hypocrisy, there's really no hope for you.

Meh. Once Trump starts getting us involved in regime change ops like Bush did with Iraq and Obama did with Egypt and Libya, then I'll get concerned. Maybe he will and maybe he won't. But he hasn't yet, so that's good by me. Personally I'd be more concerned by someone like McCain and his wanting to start wars, and in support of the wrong sides.

Sick of constantly meddling in the Middle East and generating American body bags, which is something we've been seemingly unable to stop doing the last 16 years.

+1...this vet agrees!

Lol... 16 years.

 

[MikeD]

Lol... 16 years.

Do you have a different timeframe? Ever since 9/11 and the war on terror, we've been bumbling from one thing to another. Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Syria. Afghanistan had some righteousness, but we screwed that away with severe mission creep that has bogged us down and kept us there to this day.

Sad thing is, we pretty much lost the war on terror on 9/12/01, and we don't even realize it.

 

[JordanD]

Do you have a different timeframe?

Wasn't really disagreeing with you, just saying it's been more than 16 years that we've been poking our nose around over there in one way or another.

No, I didn't mean to imply that, apologies if it seemed that way. I was thinking maybe you may have been including from the mid-90s onward, which could indeed logically be included with regards to bogging ourselves down with 11 years of No Fly Zones with Operation Northern/Southern Watch. Post 9/11 is where we really ramped it up though.

Yeah.....16+ years of bumbling around and accomplishing not much more than filling our own body bags, along with others.

 

[Seggy]

Seriously?

Yes.

If one disagree with another's viewpoint that doesn't make them a troll.

Much much longer than 16 years. Lebanon, the Shah. Hell, Osama really turned against us because of our troops being in Saudi in the early 90's.

Those can indeed be included too, yes. Agreed.
