Donald Trump has snubbed thousands of air traffic controllers and technicians who kept the skies safe during the longest government shutdown in history, union officials told Axios.
Only 776, or seven percent, of the roughly 11,000 air traffic controllers and technicians who worked through the 43-day government shutdown will get a $10,000 bonus.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy described the “perfect attendance” bonus on X as a Santa moment, apparently ignoring that most workers were gift-less.
We need more rich assholes who insist they need to fly everywhere crashing. I’m actially in favor of this.
It won’t happen, there is a two tiered justice system now. There will be a two tiered air traffic control system, the rich will get preferential passage in the skies and front of the line on takeoff and landings.
You seem to think they will train people properly, not fill in gaps or try to discipline labor with llm’s or have literally any competence at management. Atc’s will be more overworked and abused than they are right now, but also have emotional coddling added to their duties, do fewer flights, coordinate less, and generally be handicapped in every possible way by the ‘efficiency’ of capitalism.
Like neom being built on a foundation of bones. I’m sure people will die building it, but I’m skeptical theyll get as far as mixing any concrete.
