  2. "Shameful" and scary to boot. Avoid flying into or out of Regan National Airport if you can!

    Buried in the 3,000-page National Defense Authorization Act (NDDA) is a provision to open up military flight access in Washington DC's airspace with fewer tracking requirements. Specifically, the bill grants US Army helicopters nearly free rein in the airspace of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).

    National Transportation Safety Board chair Jennifer Homendy blasted the provision "It's a safety whitewash," "If it sounds like I'm mad, I am mad. This is shameful."

    This will roll back safety improvements that were recommended by the agency after the collision of a military Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, killing 67 people. npr.org/2025/12/10/nx-s1-56400 #NTSB #DCA #Safety #AirlineSafety #USArmy #NDAA #AviationSafety #Aircraft #WhiteWash

    They worried about what would happen in an emergency. Could they really get over a hundred chained passengers off the plane in time?

    “They never taught us anything regarding the immigration flights,” one said. “They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”

    “We have never gotten a clear answer on what we do in an ICE Air evacuation,” another said. “They will not give us an answer.”

    “It’s only a matter of time,” a third said, before a deportation flight ends in disaster.
