  1. Why stop at national forests? Lotsa big trees in Sequoia National Park, Yosemite and Yellowstone to name a few.
  2. Trudeau should announce a 100% tariff on Tesla.
  3. If POTUS or a cabinet member is being evacuated via Black Hawk, something bad has gone down and I would speculate that DCA’s airspace would be closed so I’m not sure how realistic this training mission is. Seems like the protocol would be that if high level government officials need to be evacuated in an emergency that the first thing you do is close the DC airspace to commercial and private traffic.
  4. Unlimited energy? I thought we had an energy crisis.
  5. As long as she doesn’t take him to the spa.
  6. I imagine that controller is going to need some pretty intense therapy. I can’t even begin to imagine what it feels like to be in his shoes right now.
  7. Perms and gold chains ain’t cheap.
  8. Can we trust her as an expert? She’s a DEI Blackhawk pilot.
  9. They hate all thing trans so transportation is off the board for funding.
  10. The problem is that you’re not dealing with reasonable people.
  11. So it’s okay to assault a woman if you’re paying her for a service? Dude, it’s never okay to expose yourself or touch someone with your genitalia without the other person’s consent.
  12. Go reread the post I replied to. That's some fucking creepy shit.
  13. We know it was DEI that caused the accident, but overworked and understaffed ATC could have been a contributing factor.
  14. Tell you what, do a little experiment starting tomorrow where you whip out your dick and use it to touch every woman you see out and about. Report back on how that goes for you.
  15. The point was exactly what I wrote. I made zero commentary except to say that Trump disbanded the committee and that there are other key positions charged with oversight of the aviation community that are open. That’s all. That’s the point.
  16. We should be increasing funding on transportation. Our infrastructure is awful compared to our peers. We desperately need to be investing in it.
  17. The point(s): 1. Federal employees, including federally employed ATC (some towers are staffed with private controllers) received a letter this week offering deferred resignation. ATC is already woefully understaffed and overworked nationwide. Some have questioned the wisdom of offering deferred resignation to a highly specialized workgroup with a critical safety mission that is already overworked and understaffed. The DCA tower was understaffed at the time of the accident. There is supposed to be one controller talking to helos and one talking to fixed wing aircraft. At the time of the collision, one controller was talking to both. 2. Trump disbanded all advisory committees within DHS, including the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee. In addition, he fired the head of TSA and the head of the FAA resigned prior to Trump’s inauguration so there are a lot of vacancies in the areas that have oversight of safety in aviation at the moment.
  18. Again, not a buyout, and I don’t understand the point that you’re trying to make here. We already know what the cause of the accident was. Our president told us earlier today and subsequently signed an EO this afternoon that assigned blame.
  19. I’ve had this happen to me off and on all day. It seems to go away if you wait a couple of seconds and refresh.
  20. The tower at DCA is currently staffed with a headcount of 19 when the staffing model calls for 30. They’re already understaffed by more than a third.
  21. It’s not a buyout. Also, your 6% number is bullshit. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/how-many-federal-workers-are-in-the-office-full-time-why-its-not-6/3828825/
  22. What does Tom’s brother have to do with any of this?
