All Democrats should be hitting back like this on multiple social media sites! We can not depend on the regular news outlets to do so.!!


@Pete Buttigieg
To be abundantly clear: we did not change the rigorous standard for becoming a certified air traffic controller. Those claiming otherwise are mistaken or lying.
We did increase funding & training, and grew the ATC workforce after years of declining numbers, including under Trump.

3. The problem is Elmer changed the algorithm

So Pete's message won't get anywhere near as many eyeballs as the Trumper disinformation talking point of the day

7. Apparently they haven't been able to hire enough controllers

but TSF wants to get rid of some because of what he calls "common sense", but reasonable people call nonsense.

8. I understand it takes years to be proficient at air traffic control and if we remember the chaos

That Reagan caused when he fired em for wanting better wages and working conditions..which they deserved. Even today, their equipment needs upgraded as has been reported numerous times. What will TSF prove by this action?
