Meanwhile buttigieg went to visit Ukraine last week as if the US transportation secretary has ANY business at all over there.
As someone who has a passion with the industry. They just hire people with college degrees and no real training for these jobs anymore. People that just want benefits and money. No one cares about pride in the job and how it works so no real morale and motivation to get the tasks done. As a ramp worker I’m happy to get people where they need to go no matter how bad the flights can get. I suffered and nearly died with JetBlue airways because the management had ZERO safety consideration whatsoever. It’s sad to see the industry fall like this but it’s the truth.
0:23 This footage is from a game, not real life
Treat the military as one big social experiment focused more on pronouns than operational readiness, run them ragged, and pay them peanuts, and see your recruitment fall through the floor. Guess where a lot of the people who make our air transport industry work come from. And sorry, but the pilot that built his hours towing advertising banners isn’t at the same level as a pilot that earned his wings through Air Force UPT and spent the best part of a decade flying military aircraft. Same is true of controllers.
maybe we need more diversity, equity and inclusion
capitalism buckling under its own weight
ceos and investors and shareholders rake in the money and the result will be entire lost aireplanes.
Why are they complaining now? Obama started this diversity hire project. Instead of hiring the more qualified, they hire people because of their color of their skins.
This video is a PERFECT example of fearmongering from the media. The comments are another example that it works
I got places to be things to do. Do your job!!!
Well, diversity has its early drawbacks….
The government doesnt want us flying anymore.
When more under trained ATC are over worked
Maybe let people that are over 30 start training to become controllers. Once they realize their college degree is useless, it’s too little too late.
Higher me I’m 22
I literally just landed from LAX to Tokyo and still have to fly back
This is what happens when you prioritize race over skills
No this is what the disastrous mis-management of COVID has done. Everyone panicked, layed off thousands or aviation workers and furloughed the rest. Stopped training and put the industry in the worst situation its ever been in when life returned to normal despite all the media insisting on “the new normal”. Well of course it didnt work out that way and now that short-sightedness is wrecking havoc.
AI to the rescue
It’s not just the pilots and atc, it’s the layouts at some of these airports. Bostons runway overlaps are a maze. Surprised there isn’t one every day
This is thanks to Republican Cut-Backs and down-sizing of Federal Government Departments (i.e. “big government”). Blame it ALL on the Repugnant Party.
