Would you fly out of DCA tomorrow?

[Anonymous]

I'm a nervous flyer, but would fly out of DCA tomorrow because it would be very, very unlikely that there would be another crash there this soon.

Yes,

All airports have risks.

All flights have risks.

But given on January 20: FAA director fired
➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years

This will get worse. Buckle up everyone. Don the con is in control and his type of control is to burn us to the ground and take all the US treasury money as his piggy bank.

Shame on you for insinuating the new administration’s actions caused yesterday’s crash. I mean that. You need to reflect on why you are such an awful person to trivialize this tragedy that killed nearly 70 people.

It’s fair to say the actions taken are likely to hurt aviation safety in the future but unless you can tie them directly to something in the control tower at National, this was just an awful coincidence.

In the future, teach yourself to not leap to conclusions in events like this. Your post was deeply offensive and callous, and you should take some time to explore why you are such an awful person that would go there.

Np. Actually if I had to choose between you and pp I would say you get my vote on being 'awful'.

We all feel awful for the victims and can still blame the Trump administration for its role.

I landed at National at 3:30 pm today (Thursday) coming from Phoenix. No problems

Another NP and YOU are the one who needs to SDASU. The PP said nothing to diminish this tragedy. The new administration is working to destroy the federal workforce and that will lead to increased risk for all of us in so many ways.

Frankly, your out of line and sanctimonious reaction leads me to believe that deep down, you know the PP is right.

Interesting that there were two incidents where Military officers were driving trucks and they ran into people. I wonder if those officers in the military helicopter wanted to crash into the plane?

This.

Military should not be flying around DCA with congestion and lack of air traffic controllers.

This.

How can you say that? The DEI hires are still in the control towers.

The helicopter crashed into a plane. Looks like if they were going in direction to crash, Two military people run into a crowd driving a truck saver trucks. Could they wanted to crash?

Twice in the last year I had take offs cancelled as we were taking off and we had to abruptly land. IAD from now on.

[Anonymous]

I know 2 people (not together) who flew out today. Honestly, this is probably as safe as it will ever be due to extra vigilance.

You’re more likely to be shot at the airport by a white man than get in a plane crash due to a DEI hire.

Joint Base Bolling is directly across the river from DCA. Pentagon is on the other side. White House is also across the river from DCA. All those places use helicopters. Should they move them?

[Anonymous]

As others mentioned, it will be under high scrutiny so very safe today. That said, a lot of airlies are offering free rebooking. You could book the flight out of IAD instead.

Oh. Too bad Trump put a federal hiring freeze on. I guess all the planes will be grounded in the USA until he decides the FAA isn't harboring woke ideology.
