Biden, Buttigieg Flummoxed by First FAA Ground Stop Since 9/11
Breitbart ^ | 01/11/2023 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 01/11/2023 6:58:32 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Joe Biden and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg struggled Wednesday with the first Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ground stop of all flights nationwide since the terror attacks of Sep. 11, 2001.

As Breitbart News reported Wednesday morning: “Commercial airline flights in the U.S. were grounded Wednesday morning due to a mass system failure. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it experienced a computer outage and was working to fix the problem.”

As Fox Business noted: “For the first time since the September 11th attacks, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all domestic flights Wednesday morning after suffering a nationwide technical outage.”

Wow. More idiocy from today’s reprobate world.

Yikes.

You make it sound like age discrimination is a good thing. I hope that wasn’t your intended point. A lot of the reason older people are retiring is because they don’t want to deal with the incompetence and laziness of the newer generation. Those of us still sticking around often do it out of a sense of duty, to help bring the younger ones up to speed. Running us of simply because we don’t know the latest social media fad is a mistake.

I guess with Buttigieg it comes down to who is the "catcher" and who is the "pitcher".

I’d be curious to know just how new or how antiquated the systems that the FAA uses are.

I don't believe the word 'new' would have any application here .

That crossed my mind also.....imagine every vehicle in the country coming to a sudden halt all at once......the concept of vehicle kill switches could only come from the twisted minds of liberals.

I imagine Buttigieg enjoys getting flummoxed.


Not really. He just likes choo-choos more.

Oh I am very aware of that aspect believe me. I used to be one of those guys that kept stuff going...:) About 6months after I switched jobs my old dept. got hammered by ransomware. It affected an entire division. And they tried to keep it quite and told the folks who were fixing stuff to keep their mouths shut. I had pointed out our weaknesses in firewalls, user security, or lack of training on user security,etc. but the powers that be just ignored it. They were too busy purchasing the latest Iphones...:)

Put a preening poofter in charge of transportation.
First nationwide airspace shutdown since 9/11.
Imagine that. People with no more sense than to shove things up their butt struggle managing a national transportation system.

Not unless he’s had ovaries and fallopian tubes installed in his “uterus”.

There’s no excuse for this failure mode.

My gut tells me the FAA let go of the old white guys who knew how to keep the system running in the name of DEI!

Maybe I should have clarified a bit better. As the knowledge base and work ethic of those 'old guys' disappears, and managers who 'rode the wave' are now still faced with making things happen no longer can hide, suddenly that experience and work ethic is more important than age on paper.

As someone pointed out up the thread, we might be seeing a type of 'Atlas Shrugged' moment, and I suspect we may see a change. Then again, maybe not. Unlike digs, some people have no problem sleeping in their own crap.

Check out the FAA 2023 budget priorities:

“Racial equity,” “inclusion,” “income inequality,” “environmental justice, and “climate change.”

Goes to my point about incompetant management. And that can have a cascade effect as the "next guys" get tired of cleaning up the crap.
