#airsafety — Public Fediverse posts

I feel that those defending this #pilot are the same bigoted ones that cry about #DiversityEquityInclusion when it's not a cis white male in the Captain's seat. Good ol'boys club. Rules for thee, not for me. If this went sideways, they'd quickly pivot to "mental illness".
If anyone non-white did this, they'd be triply harshly criticized, even if nothing went belly-up like it thankfully didn't here.
What, a water cannon salute is below this guy? Pettar is right, safety first.

Exploding fuel prices will reduce Americans' ability to fly anywhere, so ...

"After the Pentagon's support of the ROTOR Act last year, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said ... the bill could create "unresolved budgetary burdens and operational security risks," though he did not specify what they are."

Suddenly Republicans are concerned about "budgetary burdens." Just not your "budgetary burdens."

Lufthansa tightens the rules for carrying power banks inside the cabin.

After a fire broke out due to a power bank in an overhead compartment on a South Korean aircraft in 2025, airlines are taking action to minimise risks.

MuckRock: TSA complaint data disappeared. Here’s where you can still find it.. “Not long ago, I did a routine check-in on a project I hadn’t thought about in a while: a Data Liberation Project repo that scrapes and archives Transportation Security Administration (TSA) traveler complaints. It was supposed to be a quick check-in—just restart the scraper GitHub had paused for inactivity. […]

2/2 "Tom Costello from MSNBC reported that an air traffic controller told him that it is not safe to fly into Newark Airport: “It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public. Don’t fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.”

… The FAA said there is a shortage of ATCs at the airport. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said over 20% of them have walked off the job since Trump took office:[...]"

#Trump #AirSafety #traffic
#Newark ✈️ 🚨

#Newark #EWR had an air traffic controller crisis of some kind and as a result more than 20% of controllers walked off the job in #NJ this week.

#UnitedAirlines cut 35 daily flights to Newark as a result.

"Two equipment outages" reportedly sent multiple air traffic controllers on "weeks-long medical leave".

"All religions hold that it is wrong to use the tragic deaths of people as an excuse for making false statements about them or their deaths.

Sir, your behavior, statements about the tragic deaths of 67 people, and your administration’s actions and statements that falsely characterize their deaths as attributable to DEI, is deplorable."

"For the record, I am a pastor in the religion of Jesus and a retired judge.

My faith tradition, like that of other traditions, is clear about the moral and ethical issues that arise when people die in tragic circumstances.

All religions recognize that we should grieve with people who grieve, not disrespect their sorrow."

My friend Judge Wendell Griffen, who pastors New Millennium Baptist church in Little Rock, Arkansas, addresses Donald Trump:

"Sir, your response, and that of your staff, was inexcusable.

The world has long known that you lack empathy for others. But until Thursday the world did not see your disdain for the sorrow of so many people displayed with such mendacity."

"Do you travel? Do you rely on air safety and the Department of Transportation or the FAA to keep you safe? Well, they don’t care. However skilled people may be, however experienced, they want them gone. They could care less who might be the best at critical safety roles such as these."

it's really cold in the PNW so indoor heated air is *REALLY* dry. I have a couple of those #ultrasonic #humidifier mist #diffuser thingies but stopped using them after I heard they put dangerous micro mineral particles in the air.

Does anyone know if this #danger is real? I understand the EPA hasn't said they're unsafe, but, y'know.
