“I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today,” said one journalist. “None of them are buying what he said.”
Air traffic controllers are rejecting US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s explanation for Friday’s nationwide flight ground stop, raising questions about the Trump administration’s account of a communications failure that disrupted air travel across the United States, affecting an estimated 1.5 million travelers.
Washington Examiner homeland security reporter Anna Giaritelli told CNN’s Laura Coates during a Friday night interview that she’d spoken with 60 air traffic controllers about the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ground stop, which was just the third to ever occur.
“None of them are buying what he said,” Giaritelli said. “The controllers were saying, ‘We don’t buy that this is actually what’s happening, the reason that Sean Duffy is saying this has happened.’”
Love that leadership not involved in the day to day did the department update. Not a chance we’d let the team get full credit for their hard work
One person did list the names of the people in our team who were involved in the effort.
I appreciated that, but I kind of wish they had asked us what was involved.
It’s not just the pat on the back IMO. It’s the personal development (giving a presentation in front of a big group) and giving people face time with the department / company. That’s how you promote from within the department, grow your staff and build skills
I’m not disagreeing with you, but if the person most critical to the effort (and most deserving of recognition) heard you suggest that she should have been given the opportunity to present the changes, she might hunt you down and kill you. In a violent and gruesome manner.
Future team lead energy right there, and she sounds like she should be voluntold to present on a semi regular basis.
