(13,846 posts)Airlines/ Airports understaffed, overworked and budget cuts top my guess as to why these incidents are happening.
Im a former military aviator. Airline pilot for 30 years, now retired. Its not terrorism, its people screwing up,

Now I know many will ask what's the connection, and call it bs, but the point of my jab is that were it Biden, they'd be blaming HIM. Like they blamed him for just about everything else. What's good for the goose...
Besides, one might even argue that the Trump Musk assaults on air traffic controllers, the aviation board, government agencies and government in general, have created enough uncertainty, NOT to mention a climate of low morale,
to have had an overall negative effect on the way things are SUPPOSED to work.
They certainly haven't been making anyone 'GREAT again.'

Of course Eloon wants his Space X outfit to take over the domestic air traffic controllers operation,... fully privatize it under the Space X banner.
So then Eloon will be in charge of arrivals, departures, landings and take offs - do we really want to dump that responsibility in this quirky man's lap ?
Most would say - Elon Musk is too loose a Cannon to entrust him with that much responsibility. Many folks think he should be deported, as should K. Rupert Murdock of News Corp.

No that is ridiculous, unless of course you meant that the deliberate sabotage of the FAA by the Regime was an act of terrorism.
Is that what you meant?

It could be due in part to eloon and orange psycho firing/ fucking up air traffic controllers, etc. And from the general stress from what they are doing.
