The day after Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg met with airline leaders to quiz them about widespread flight disruptions, his own flight was canceled and he wound up driving from Washington to New York.
“That is happening to a lot of people, and that is exactly why we are paying close attention here to what can be done and how to make sure that the airlines are delivering,” Buttigieg told The Associated Press in an interview Saturday.

Great. A few weeks later we’ll be walking to Europe.
That’s what we need buttgig, more government interference.
The Biden administration imposed vax mandates that forced the airlines to fire thousands of skilled mechanics, pilots, etc etc.
Gosh, I wonder what the result of that policy turned out to be.
Nothing but threats, threats, threats, and more threats against businesses and industries. That really encourages investment and hiring.
I hate these Dem idiots.
All is good until he was inconvenienced. I’ll bet he has a government paid credit card for gas.
The important thing is that the pilots were mandated to get their vaccines against the sniffles....
:-(
I have a crazy thought, perhaps it’s not so crazy considering the Democrats are in power and their election prospects for November look bleak at best.
Buttigeig stating the government may act against the airlines for all the cancellations.
Biden basically ordering the oil companies to pump more oil even though his administration openly talks about killing off the oil industry.
My idea is Democrats will start calling for the nationalization of the Airline and Oil industries, using the capitalism has failed idea along with price gouging by the oil companies.
Not saying it will work or the Democrats will work toward it, but nationalization is going to be on the agenda by fall, if things don’t start looking up for the Democrats.
bet the meeting was totally unnecessary...plenty of internet options these days.
” what can be done and how to make sure that the airlines are delivering,”
Last I heard the airlines weren’t owned by the gov’t.
He’ll have to magically find more pilots to fly the planes so they don’t have to cancel flights.
He’s such an idiot.
What Buttboi means is the government sues the airlines “on behalf of the consumers” and the government gets to keep the money.
Why isn’t he at home chest feeding his child?!
Yeah, Buttplug will send a team of faggots and transgenders to really screw things up.
Sissy has a Hissy!
I definitely think the Democrats will attempt to nationalize some industries. We’re going Venezuela.
Get used to walking because this government is going to help us right into the Stone Age.
YOU and this regime created this ‘problem’, Alinksyite bonehead.
Never let a manufactured crises go to waste.
You dumb asses caused it with your Covid crap
The cool thing about changing rules on airlines is that it drives up the price to travel, while hiding the rut cause of it (more government regulation). Therefore you get the benefit of a carbon tax to lessen air travel, but it gets blamed on the airlines!!!
Why not work on all the shortages you are Transportation after all
