Sean Duffy Under Fire After Deadly LaGuardia Collision

He's leave a hell of a map for things to fix.

It's all my fault, I forgot to wear a suit and I ate Dijon mustard for lunch today...

I voted for this. We are winning, so get used to it. s/

It's not intentional. It's just from their sheer incompetence.

if you go onto the aviation subreddit it seems like literally everyone who regularly flew to laguardia new this ATC very well and had very good opinions about him and his ability to perform, but also that he might be one of the most hard working and overworked ATC's in the entire country.

Trump will soon announce he’s sending ICE agents to staff ATC towers. Problem solved.

Most of this was accurate. We do have a union, NATCA (National Air Traffic Controllers Association), but they do not have much weight in negotiations since legally we can not strike. Right now the leadership is just fighting to keep the right to represent controllers and the duty time they get to represent controllers instead of fighting for actual controller benefits and working conditions. The moving part is during the initial hiring. You apply for the job and they can send you anywhere in the country with no guarantee to move back ever.

John Oliver does an entire episode on ATCs, it's pretty insightful 

qualifications have never stopped agent orange.

>can't simply hire a bunch of new people and have them start tomorrow. It takes a relatively long time to vet and train people before you can trust them to do the job Yes. It's literally offered as a 4 year degree program at Kent State University (one of the few or only Universities in the country to offer it I think). Even then you need to do a months long FAA training program after graduation. The alternative is several years of pilot experience then take the govt program

They don’t realize that these are skilled government jobs and they trained intensively to do them. They didn’t just grab people off the street and then these people need all the sleep. They are putting peoples lives are in danger. It shows that a lot of these people don’t care and they’re putting peoples lives in danger. We need people who care about other people.

Can’t ICE do it instead?

I’m pleasantly surprised Trump isn’t blaming the Canadian pilots for being DEI. That’s how high the bar is here.

Or dressing nicely for the airport

If Americans don’t use the correct restroom, somebody will deploy ICE agents to enforce appropriate bathroom usage.

ATC's are probably so busy, they don't get to go to the bathroom.

It would require committing resources to maintaining safe staffing, and the line wouldn't go up. A pizza party on Friday would be better. Bring Your Own Pizza.

We're gonna have to see his p**** again for the safety of all Americans

Don’t forget butter emails

I thought it was because no one wears suits to fly anymore

No, having only one or two controllers on duty at night is common. In a period with average traffic, in a lot towers, you would have maybe a half dozen. At really big airports with heavy traffic, you could have 10-12. Maybe somewhere like ATL could get even higher, I’m not sure. There aren’t really “assistants”.

At Laguardia? Is there really ever a time there that it's that far off peak? Sorry, I know my phrasing is shit, but hopefully you get the gist of what I'm asking.

Could an argument be made this ATC person shouldn’t have had the United ramp situation in his purview?

Kash Patel’s ears are burning.

I was obsessed with the Real World series back in the day. Whereas as the earlier seasons had the cast do their own thing, the later seasons had them work together (radio station, starting a business, etc.) to build group cohesion or drama. What I remember best about the Boston season was the cast was tutoring inner city kids at an after school program. There was even a book covering the various seasons. The head of the after-school program was asked to evaluate how well the various cast members contributed to the program. He said that Sean basically phoned it on during the first half of the season and did next to nothing. I think when the manager said he wouldn't get school credit (can't remember), Sean contributed for the second half. When it was all said and done, the manager gave him an A grade. A **f****** A!!!!!!** Thinking back to reading the RW book at the Borders bookstore, I still get steamed thinking about it. At best, he deserved a B or a C, but because of his white privilege and half-assed effort and doing nothing for half the show, this moron keeps falling up the corporate and political ladder. What's worse is that he and his tramp-stamp wife are unleashing an infinite number of morons on this world by continuing to procreate. He and Rachel are the biggest case for eugenics I have ever seen.

Mediocre white men think they know everything

Orange is the new orange.

20 years ago I could not imagine the douchebag from the most boring season of Real World would end up the head of NASA for a minute. This timeline sucks so bad.

He and his wife met on The Real World Road Rules Challenge though....ha

Besides the garbage journalism that’s taken over the last few years, the website itself barely functions. The ads crash it and then they decided they want you to register to read anything.

I thought "Blasted" was #1. :)

It’s just a shit outlet and no amount of “but the need the clicks” gives their titles a pass. Once an outlet constantly uses this language it quickly waters down everything the publish. With a focus on bombastic words that hardly describe the events at Hand

I don't know why I didn't realize earlier that the daily beast c*** was all from this sub, and it was just as simple as unsubscribing... Thank you, and done!

If you look at the CCTV of the crash, they did have them and they were working correctly.
