At 0430 this morning, as I was preparing the leave for a day trip down to PHX, this came through:

Ultimate irony as Buttigieg bemoans being stranded by flight chaos

Former US Transportation Secretary Buttigieg joked about his replacement Sean Duffy's performance at a convention for Democrats in Denver.

Remember, this guy was SecTrans during the Biden Administration. During his tenure, it was a goal of his to embed DEI objectives to make the FAA more inclusive. This was at the expense of hiring air traffic controllers who were actually qualified to do the job. The FAA may have been doing planning for system replacement during his tenure however the critical work did not begin until Duffy took over.

Most of the "upgrades" and enhancements done during Buttigieg's tenure were more of cosmetic and band-aide fixes.

So it's easy for him to criticize now when the obvious facts state otherwise: this issue has been building for years over several Administrations both Democrat and Republican.

One of the guys I shoot with is a retired USAF C-5 driver and now flies commercially for Alaska.

He was telling me this morning his son, who is also a pilot for one of the American subsidiaries based out of PHX, was stranded in Mexico as well. Flight had not departed yet when the ground stop was announced.
