The new ATC system is gonna fail so hard (if anything ever even comes out of it). Being driven by folks who haven’t a clue how utterly complicated and complex the NAS has become over the decades. Can’t throw money and expect that to be enough.

DOGE employees are lieutenants of Musk, not the President. This is an insider threat to keep an eye on.

All this ATC stuff Duffy is announcing has already been in work for years. Nothing new. It is just a matter of funding, but now I fear that this is being used as a money grab to give to SpaceX and the like.

The “runway incursion device” touted by the FAA in a recent press release is not a new thing. New admin taking credit for something that already exists. And it is just a bunch of buttons that turn lights off and on. For up to 8 runways. Dumb simple memory aid. Not an ATC system.

Hearing whispers that some leaders are helping sideline SpaceX interlopers disguised as DOGE with little more than busywork. Will believe when I see.
FAA leadership whom have been in place since before the new administration are completely out-of-touch and trapped in the shared delusion that good leaders make lemonade out of lemons, even when the lemons are rotten.

Civil servant source says DOGE has made agencies much less efficient: "Work has ground down to a stunning degree and management is spending a significant amount of time responding & preparing to respond to the chaos incited by the never ending barrage of EOs & accompanying memos"
Many make no sense🧵

Only been 40 days. The goal is to utterly dismantle America, sell it to billionaires, undo the world order to help Russia, privatize everything, and assume complete control and power for Trump who is never leaving peacefully. They want protests so he can crush them and declare Martial Law.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump.

You cannot do both.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

While I wait for the email that tells me whether I’ve been fired or spared, here’s a thread of things I’ve had the privilege of working on, experiencing, and accomplishing in my 10 months as a federal employee at the Storm Prediction Center.
