Delta CEO Ed Bastian leaves CBS's Gayle King in a state of shock after he defends the Trump administration's planned changes to the FAA:

"The cuts do not affect us. I've been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation. I understand that the, the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions, but the reality is there's over 50,000 people that work at the FAA. And the cuts, I understand, were 300 people, and they were in non-critical safety functions.

The Trump administration [b]has committed to investing [/b]deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies that are used in the air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies.[b] They've committed to hiring [/b]additional controllers and investigators, and safety and investigators. So no, I'm not concerned with that at all."[/quote]

Great - they’ve committed to, but haven’t done anything yet, so, no, I won’t be flying right now.

And as far as “non-critical safety functions”, uh, I think all safety functions are critical and I read that some FAA employees now authorized to speak have said those positions are critical.[/quote]
