So you have no clue?

I was flying yesterday from California. I was looking at the flight tracker over Colorado. We were at 32,000 feet. When I looked out the window I saw one plane pass directly underneath us at about 800 -1000 feet. At the same time an east bound plane was about 1,500 feet off our wing and at roughly the same altitude as our plane. All commercial airlines.

I have never seen that before specially in the middle of Colorado. I could imagine the ATC control screen showing these three planes at similar altitude all heading for each other.

the screens show altitudes, so the ATCs would know that.

Did it land upside down or flip over after landing? Either way, that's crazy!

The weather has been insane in Toronto for several days, I don’t know why any flights are even going in or out of Pearson. I’m still flying as normal, but everyone I know has re-scheduled flights they were supposed to take the last few days.

Okay?

Yes, trump fired a bunch of people including maintenance people and Musk is making a play to have SpaceX (unprocured government contract) simply take over the FAA. Awarding without an RFP and scoring process leads to corruption, and this is as naked as it gets.

Baggage handlers are employed by the airlines, not the Federal Government.

ATC software installed by Musk took control of the plane.

Yep, ensuring flight safety is definitely where we want a profit motive. Worked spectacularly for Boeing.

A miracle that everyone survived that flight.

Yeah. I want Mr. “rapid unscheduled disassembly” out of airline travel.
