The FAA started heavy duty affirmative action hiring practices under Obama. The chickens are coming home to roost.

This is discussed in the comments here:

Who cares! The Jan 6 investigation is way more important. MAGA is a supreme threat to the American way of life. Get a grip folks! /s

Thanks.

I thought you were referring to a big travel holiday. I think MLK day is just pretty normal travel wise.

It wasn’t a DoS, the FAA was mining BitCoins before the rebound for the “Big Guy” ...

Ugh. Hate when that happens. I went to Florence, IT for a wedding and didn’t have my luggage for a few days. I had a friend who worked in international reservations for the same airline. She located it in Paris just hanging there with other lost luggage. Thank God I got it in time for the wedding. (My dress was in it). It was pretty stressful.

I don’t know what my son and his wife will do if they don’t find the luggage. Buy what they need and come home smarter, I guess. If it doesn’t fit in my one small suitcase, or my backpack, it isn’t going. I even went to Pakistan for three weeks with just that much luggage — backpack and small bag.

Perhaps the best & brightest H1Bs have infiltrated our air traffic control system?

Was SW Air and the FAA running the same outdated software?
