Eloon begs Air Traffic retirees to come back

[deminks]

But air traffic controllers are required to retire at age 56 for safety reasons.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

End snip.

Or maybe he does know and trying to cover his stupid ass cosmetically. IMHO.

1. Musk doesn't care if he kills Americans.

2. I didn't know about the 56 years old retirement criteria. Makes sense I guess. But as to muskrat's plea,

who in their right mind, after being bad-mouthed by muskrat and tRUMP, would want to go back into such a stressed out environment?

3. They can't be rehired, for good reasons

[allegorical oracle]

4. People in the civil service are leaving -- either voluntarily or because they've been

fired or because the working conditions under Musk/Trump is not someplace anyone wants to be.

I find it ironic that Musk is summoning air controllers to either come back or freshly apply. Surely, some who were fired were younger than 56. Why would anyone trust Musk not to change his mind in a matter of hours or days -- depending on what 19-yo Big Balls or djt recommends?
