As a pilot since I was 16. I have spent my life in the Air Traffic Control System. Flying both private and commercial. This onerous plan from the House GOP to close 375+ plus control towers would make the entire system come to a complete stop. It would not just "slow it down" like many in the GOP say. There would be a complete shutdown of the system much like after 9-11. If this is allowed to happen there will be no scheduled airline service at all. Airline flights have to be under ATC control. Nothing will fly. You cannot strip out over 90% of the employees and shut 375 towers and still have a safe useable ATC system in the country. For all of ya'll that laughed along with Donald Trump about forcing this horrible plan. Hope you don't have to fly anywhere for work or vacation. Because if this stupidity happens. You ain't going anywhere. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1
@MartyTa94849826 @argusdog1206 I was an air traffic controller for 27 years before retiring. I concur with this 100%. Legislators need to leave aviation safety to professionals. There is a reason we have the safest airspace system in the world.
@MartyTa94849826 @PauletteParis1 I’ve been a pilot since 16 as well. This is the first I heard about shuttering control towers. Thanks for laying this out. All true.
@MartyTa94849826 @MDomino07 GOOD JOB MARTY👏👏👏👏
@MartyTa94849826 The GOP don’t care if we suffer. I’d say they welcome it.
@MartyTa94849826 As a career Flight Attendant.. remember the Reagan Years? He fired all the ATC. I was scared flying in those years!!!
