Common sense would dictate that at least one a month a scheduled communications test would be made. But, we're talking about Biden's DEI FAA and tranny military.

Pentagon brass used the army helicopters as their personal shuttle service to and from work at the Pentagon.

Rolls over to the DEI hotline.

Common sense? What’s that? /s

Good Lord...

* March 2022 - Last time a “hotline” DCA and the Pentagon worked
* Jan 29, 2025 - midair collision at DCA between Army helicopter and American Airlines jet
* May 1, 2025 - FAA became aware the hotline was broken

So there’s THREE MONTHS from the January crash to the time the FAA figures the hotline is cold?? And they were “unaware” the hotline was cold for three years?

WTH?

I’ll bet Potato Joe was on the case.

Reagan’s fault. /s

Probably an old copper line. The phone companies do not properly maintain them anymore.

Common sense would dictate that at least one a month a scheduled communications test would be made.

Such numbers should be tested daily if used in a control center, and the results posted to the log. Assume nothing is working until confirmed.

Honestly, it should be tested at the start of every shift. If you are the boss, logging in should require a “check in” call. It would take less than a minute and it would verify that important systems are running.
