Summary
Elon Musk called on retired air traffic controllers to return to work, citing a shortage amid heightened scrutiny of the FAA under Trump’s second term.
With DOT Secretary Sean Duffy’s support, Musk’s DOGE attempts to “upgrade” aviation systems despite recent FAA job cuts.
The AP reports fired employees included radar and navigational aid maintenance personnel, though Duffy insisted no “critical safety personnel” were terminated.
Musk’s appeal comes amid increased public concern over recent aviation incidents, though experts consider the uptick an anomaly.
US law mandates retirement at 56 for Air Traffic Controllers due to the high stress and fast-paced multi-tasking nature of the job
It’s considered one of the most mentally challenging jobs there are.
Fucking beg, fascist bitch.
Maybe fill in the blanks with racist assholes? I want to watch that work itself out.
Surprise Surprise Surprise (Gomer Pyle voice)
Just what the fuck did you think was gonna happen Elonia? Fucking idiot…
Leopard, meet face…
🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🖕
This is intentional. They want to replace everything with their own shitty for-profit systems.
Yeah I’m sure they’re just RARING to work for the most publicly toxic boss (that isn’t even a boss) in the world…
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.
Pay more wages, the way of a free market is supply and demand
There’s no such thing as a labor shortage.
Yo, air traffic controllers still at work: if y’all have ever considered going on strike, now’s the time.
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.
You underestimate conservatives
I’ve worked around some ATC people. They remember what the republicans did. All the new hires get indoctrinated with the sure knowledge that they are considered disposable by republicans and Washington in general. Musk is going to get people killed. We can only hope that that he rushes through the new air force one and it has a titanic sub type of malfunction.
Time to renegotiate salary!
time to sing l’international!!

It’s weird to see people all over the place mocking Elmo for this…
Like, he knows no one in their right mind would want to start federal service right now. They treat feds like shit, make wild cuts they know will effect actual essentials. Go on national news and the billion dollar social media websites they own to shit talk fed, even have the head of the DoD call federal workers lazy and a drain on the nation in a public memo for for some reason now comes with a video.
The entire thing isn’t just designed to shrink the federal government, but to then replace it with contractors they “manage” and take a huge chunk of the wages from for the privilege of a job for less than feds got and zero worker protections.
Just lining their own pockets in a legal manner because “no one wants to be a fed”.
Meanwhile 50% of the country cheers him on, and damn near the rest can’t see more than two steps ahead.
Why the fuck haven’t people started learning to plan ahead yet?
Or at least read a damn history book. Fascist aren’t typically original.
Fucking clown show
10 years salary up front. In gold.
best we can do is crypto and a ket bender with trump’s dom
Gold you say?
The back side should be printed with the fucking Kremlin.
why is Krasnov Trump face on the US dollar bill.
That man should never be on the face of legitimate US currency.
Sorry, Fort Knox is empty.
Nobody is gonna need to tap fort Knox, empty or not, to scrounge together 10 years salary worth of gold.
That would be under 10 bars of gold for some of the highest salaried doctors and lawyers out there.
It would be less than 1 bar of gold for anyone making less than $114K/yr over 10 years, as of right now.
This is all to remind anyone reading this that your life’s worth is like 1-20 gold bars.

“Look, it’s nobody’s fault, and we don’t know how this happened, but for unforeseeable reasons we have a shortage.”
Narrator: It was forseen, they do know how it happened, and it was his fault.
You mean that people who work in one of the highest-stress jobs in the world might not want the added stress of being potentially shitcanned at any second by this apartheid manchild?
Don’t worry, Real World Boston cast member Sean Duffy is on the case.
