[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dulles itself is no worse off than any US airport but I can't say I'm particularly excited about getting on any plane at the moment.

I think this goes to a deeper point that lots of people thought Trump would just screw over DC and federal workers, especially the ones like FAA, TSA, and NPS that they've targeted are nationwide. This is going to be an issue across the country.[/quote]

Yes agree that US air safety across the border is impacted by firing hundreds of air safety controllers.

The fired FAA workers include systems specialists, safety inspectors, maintenance mechanics, administrative staff and more.

This makes 0 sense. FAA was understaffed as it is.  DOGE is out of control and shame on all the Republicans sitting silent as our country falls to pieces.[/quote]

They want to privatize it and put it under Musk.  This is all about Musk making money.[/quote]

OMG / hope he runs a private version of FAA better than Tesla in terms of worker and driver safety.

Tesla's injury rate for factory workers has been higher than the industry average, and the company failed to report many injuries. Tesla has also been involved in more fatal accidents than other car brands.

In 2016, Tesla's Fremont plant had an injury rate of 8.1 per 100 workers, which was 31% higher than the industry average. 
The Center for Investigative Reporting found that Tesla failed to report some serious injuries, which made the company's injury numbers look better than they were. 
Fatal accident rates

A study by iSeeCars found that Tesla models had the highest fatal accident rates in the U.S. from 2017 to 2022.

A study by Road & Track found that Tesla vehicles have a fatal crash rate double the national average.

OSHA violations 
Tesla has had three times as many OSHA violations as the 10 largest US plants combined.[/quote]
