lol bet he just found out that his private jet also has to wait in line.
You mean that people who work in one of the highest-stress jobs in the world might not want the added stress of being potentially shitcanned at any second by this apartheid manchild?
Moron with history of fucking shit up fucks shit up. No one stops him. Some applaud. Start the wood chipper.
I was told there was no such thing as a shortage in a free market, why won't the executive branch embrace free market economics?
“upgrade”
Tesla Autopilot… for planes?
EVERYBODY RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!
I hadn't flown since right before quarantine dropped in the US, and flew United once last year. I was already thinking I'd stick to driving
If you wanna stay here then yeah. Imagine giving up everything you've built up in this country to escape, doing that so your children can have better life, and the airplane crashes. They're making us scared to live, scared to leave. Any action besides being in compliance.
As a guy who has to travel for work. I hope that these guys tell him to pound fucking sand
Really highlights how stupid Republicans and Musk really is and how his companies thrived despite his leadership not because.
Good luck to you. I'm not setting foot on a plane until this administration is over with (assuming there is an end to it).

This is so easy to fix. Just ask the remaining ATCs to put in 30 more hours per week. If there is a safety law which needs to be amended to make this happen, just amend it. Remove all the rules and safeguards. We should do it like the Tesla factories.
Look. More air accidents will happen. People should be ready to sacrifice themselves. It's that easy.
So easy to fix.
PS: /s for some of you who may need it..
We also need to brace ourselves for hardship. I mean Elon won't be facing monetary hardships but you will. So brace for that.

What happened to “AI will do it”?
its not possible since they are forced to retire by law at 56 anyways, and they already proven that with studies that past a certain age you cant maintain the same cognitive abilities like in your 20s-40s.
Oh he needs those useless federal workers? Most of those people remember what reagan did and feel no loyalty at all to the republican party.

"I clear cut the forest and now there is a shortage of trees. Woe is me."
Well if it isn't the consequences of his own actions.
Fucked around ✅
Found out 👈
Not really, tbh. He's pretty clearly just doing as much damage as he possibly can. This whole "Oooh whoopsie, we did a bad, does anyone want their job back?" shit is pure show to give himself some plausible deniability to keep the guillotines at bay.
If you look at what's happening through the lens of his goal being malice, and ignore the "ooooops!" pony show, what you see is a man who's hamstrung an entire nation with literally zero consequences.

Ummm, didn't he fire them? Also, how many air traffic controllers does he think are using his xitty platform?
"There is a shortage"
ah damn i love that language. reminds me of the boss that abused my mother back when she was still in employment. "there is a shortage, you need to come over on your day off, otherwise we can't handle the workload". how about employing more people? no? maybe because you can't find another fool who will do the work with these bad working conditions?
doesn't this guy musk like run a lasertag emporium or shit
But what happened to move fast and break things?
They’re broken. We’re onto step 2
- Move fast and break things
- ???
- Profit
Step 2 is "Steal everything not nailed down".
The shortage is his own damn fault. I wouldn’t want to work any government job right now.
Fucking clown show
As much as I loathe the twat, this issue predates him. Now, after what he's done to the FAA, good luck convincing them to come back. A very stressful, understaffed job... Sure they'll want to get out of retirement...
US law mandates retirement at 56 for Air Traffic Controllers due to the high stress and fast-paced multi-tasking nature of the job
It's considered one of the most mentally challenging jobs there are.
We should have this same law for politicians.

How about you just increase the pay and benefits you’re offering? if you love the efficiencies of the free market so much why don’t you fucking act like it

He is easily the worst person there is to ask for it.
Elon is afraid that he will cause a disaster equal to or worse than the one in Tenerife
Is it safe to bring back retired people? They retire for a reason, usually.
no its not, its physically, and mentally not possible, since studies have shown how you decline mentally at a certain age.
Hyper capitalists love to talk about incentives in a free market... how about you fucking pony up the incentives you thin-lipped small dick bastard
Why would anyone do this when they're likely to be in another wave of mass firings. Imo yall should strike.

I wouldn’t even think of flying down to the US for this very reason - I wouldn’t feel safe.
Yo, air traffic controllers still at work: if y'all have ever considered going on strike, now's the time.

"No OnE wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE" - guy firing a bunch of people without cause.
Yeah I'm sure they're just RARING to work for the most publicly toxic boss (that isn't even a boss) in the world...
Musk’s appeal comes amid increased public concern over recent aviation incidents, though experts consider the uptick an anomaly.
Anomalies for now. These aviation incidents will become the new normal after gutting the department that is charge of preventing aviation incidents from happening.
But hey, Musky Boy got to play a chainsaw. So that's a plus?
