Summary
The Trump administration emailed air traffic controllers urging them to quit and accept buyouts 24 hours after a fatal Reagan plane crash.
At 8:30 p.m. Thursday, the email urged federal employees to pursue private-sector jobs, offering pay incentives and vacation benefits while on government payroll.
This program contradicts established rules by allowing second employment, sparking union concerns about losing experienced personnel amid an air traffic controller shortage.
Trump blamed previous administrations for safety issues and misrepresented FAA standards, intensifying culture wars as officials remain uncertain about the buyout program’s future.
If their aim is to kill as many Americans as possible, they are doing a superb job. By that metric, Trump is the best president of all times.
I do hope the majority who get canned and who suffer voted for him. Everyone else, including myself, I feel sorry for and hope we can either ride it out or get out. His supporters should go down with the ship poor and depleted.
Seems like he’s going for maximum damage, bet he gets a Russian airlift from the white house just before it crumbles.
