Elon is afraid that he will cause a disaster equal to or worse than the one in Tenerife
doesn't this guy musk like run a lasertag emporium or shit
I used to work for Amazon in a division I didn't feel grimey for. Spent over 7 years of my life in that division, doing great things and recurringly got top performer review status and was even awarded role model on top of that on several occasions.
Then they laid me off in 2023, after my latest review of "top performer" & award of "role model".
About 2 weeks ago a recruiter reached out to me for a role in AWS and I responded with, "Amazon shouldn't have laid me, a top performer and role model, off if they'd like me to work for them."
ATCs should give this response to Musk.
A friend of mine was laid off in a firing of 300 workers. A couple of years later, a new upper manager comes in and tries to hire 500.
The people making decisions at large corporations have no idea what's happening on the ground, they just see major shareholders, a budget and expenses.
they did a wave massive layoffs in tech in 2023, my bro was included i knew he would be a target, because if you earning that much income, its bound to happen.
My friend just retired. Today.
He'd been working the same job a decade, but he did about half his career with the same company.
He consistently made 10% less because #union, but it was consistent and reliable. Now he gets half pay until he dies.
People chasing that Amazon pork, I'm thinking made a mistake.
Shame you can't do the same with CEOs
*Luigi enters the chat*
One way to cut down on costs.
I was told there was no such thing as a shortage in a free market, why won't the executive branch embrace free market economics?
Musk is discovering he can't hire foreign workers to replace people at will. That some federal workers perform highly specialized and high stress tasks that you can't fix with his typical knuckle dragging tactics.
its not possible since they are forced to retire by law at 56 anyways, and they already proven that with studies that past a certain age you cant maintain the same cognitive abilities like in your 20s-40s.
Ummm, didn't he fire them? Also, how many air traffic controllers does he think are using his xitty platform?
Exactly how he runs Tesla, too. Fire a bunch of people, just to rehire even more 2 to 3 weeks later.
Is it safe to bring back retired people? They retire for a reason, usually.
no its not, its physically, and mentally not possible, since studies have shown how you decline mentally at a certain age.
I wouldn’t even think of flying down to the US for this very reason - I wouldn’t feel safe.
Dude, you'd end up in America, though. They've got some turmoil down there, and I know I'm gonna wait it out. Safe tomfly there or not, I'm still not going.
As a guy who has to travel for work. I hope that these guys tell him to pound fucking sand
Really highlights how stupid Republicans and Musk really is and how his companies thrived despite his leadership not because.
It's never a problem until it affects them
Good luck to you. I'm not setting foot on a plane until this administration is over with (assuming there is an end to it).

"I clear cut the forest and now there is a shortage of trees. Woe is me."
Hyper capitalists love to talk about incentives in a free market... how about you fucking pony up the incentives you thin-lipped small dick bastard
As much as I loathe the twat, this issue predates him. Now, after what he's done to the FAA, good luck convincing them to come back. A very stressful, understaffed job... Sure they'll want to get out of retirement...
This is so easy to fix. Just ask the remaining ATCs to put in 30 more hours per week. If there is a safety law which needs to be amended to make this happen, just amend it. Remove all the rules and safeguards. We should do it like the Tesla factories.
Look. More air accidents will happen. People should be ready to sacrifice themselves. It's that easy.
So easy to fix.
PS: /s for some of you who may need it..

Oh he needs those useless federal workers? Most of those people remember what reagan did and feel no loyalty at all to the republican party.

But what happened to move fast and break things?
They’re broken. We’re onto step 2
- Move fast and break things
- ???
- Profit
Step 2 is "Steal everything not nailed down".
Musk’s appeal comes amid increased public concern over recent aviation incidents, though experts consider the uptick an anomaly.
Anomalies for now. These aviation incidents will become the new normal after gutting the department that is charge of preventing aviation incidents from happening.
But hey, Musky Boy got to play a chainsaw. So that's a plus?
I wonder if the ATCs will respond to the 5 accomplishments emails they will get
JIA5172 CRJ9 (CLT)
JBU1855 E190 (BOS)
JIA5433 CRJ7 (ALB)
RPA4640 E75L (EYW)

Contract negotiation time!
He is easily the worst person there is to ask for it.
The shortage is his own damn fault. I wouldn’t want to work any government job right now.
