'President Plane Accident': FAA worker renames Trump as laid off staff warn of 'danger'

[DENVERPOPS]

9. I recall

the massively Un-Friendly Skies after Reagan fired half the Air Traffic Controllers.......

Every commercial airline pilot I talked to was not only extremely anxious, but frightened sick about having to fly a passenger airliner for a whole year or two after that..........

Air traffic was slowed greatly, with the controllers having to space planes 6-9 minutes apart instead of the normal 3 minutes.
Normally, one pilot flies the plane, the other pilot handles communication, instruments, etc. Pilots told me that during flights after the firings, one pilot flew the plane, handled communications, watched the instruments, and the other pilot was watching the skies around them at all time......

They all told me, that they were constantly having to apologize to the passengers for the serious delays, AND, they were ordered by Reagan, NOT to use the words "Air Traffic Controllers" when telling them why there would be a delay,, but were only allowed to say "an ATC delay" if they said anything, because the passengers did not have a clue what ATC meant......

It takes THREE YEARS of training for Air Traffic Controllers, and they have to pass extremely tough tests before they are hired to start training..... Before Trump started screwing with the ATC and offering them early retirement, etc. the ATC were running about 30% understaffed. It is said to be the MOST stressful job, and yet, all controllers are having to work tons of overtime, which makes it even more difficult to stay on the top of their workload............
