I, for one, am incredibly excited to see widespread inconvenience for the middle class. Hopefully this will wake some of these people the fuck up. The super rich still won't be effected enough, but maybe this will help stir up some malcontent against Orange Julius from the people unaffected by SNAP cuts.
Just in time for the holiday season too.
Private planes are still reliant on ATC, especially at out of the way, low traffic airports that will be the first to see cuts
If they stopped providing services to FL180+ non-part-121 traffic they'd see way more reduction in load than just cancelling a little 121 traffic. Idk if anyone has looked at the unfiltered flight trackers but there are a fuck ton of private/business jets up in the flight levels and they're not flying as predictable of routes (usually into smaller satellite airports near the main ones). They can't do that though because it would upset all the rich people.
The super rich won't be directly affected but their businesses will.
they wont be safe in thier bunkers, or compounds either, because you have to pay for staff, pluss things to remove waste and maitanence
yet
What does the American middle class “waking up” look like?
They will all band together and help musk make all flight controller run by private companies
Hopefully doing more than the nothing that they're doing now.
Are you trying to be funny or do you genuinely not know?
Little bit of both probably. Currently dealing with something more important and only half paying attention to Lemmy while I wait.
Sounds like you need to wake up, not the middle class.
Okie dokie
Just in time for the holidays, I’m here for it. Time for the middle class to wake the fuck up.
You guys have a middle class?
Guessing middle class is... college students with rich AF parents that pay to fly them home... and people really well set, but not quite in the private jet level.
The shutdown accelerated this, but it's far from the root cause. Even when it lifts, it's still on a bad trajectory.
Can't reduce training standards without causing lots of other problems.
Automation in older ways is possible but complicated. More modern AI would be a disaster. Though they might try.
There isn't really an answer. Air travel can't continue as it was, and there aren't enough plans for trains to come close to making up for it.
Pilot, in heated argument with copilot.
Pilot: I can do it, don't bet me!
Copilot: Yes, you could absolutely do a barrel roll in a Boeing 747, but there are a few considerations to address in your approach.
First, a Boeing 747's gross tonnage unloaded is...
If you're a right wing libertarian or neoliberal who believes that governments are always corrupt, inefficient and incompetent, the best way to prove yourself right is to ensure that the government is always corrupt, inefficient and incompetent.
Thanks trump! Thanks Rs!
Mother fucker. My wife my toddler and I are supposed to fly out on the 15th.
I really hope I don't get stuck in like.... Delaware.... With a 2 year old and no way home.
Oh well small price to pay for insurance coverage for folks that probably voted against their best interests.
I guess.
My condolences. That fucking blows. I really hope it works okay for you and your family
Thanks a bunch!! I appreciate it!!

I mean, worst case, it's probably possible to rent a car at the airport. Might need longer to get home, but shouldn't be impossible to get there.
I thought the same thing. The only wrench would be if they live in a big city with accessible public transit and don’t have a license or know how to drive.
NGL I had bigger demands than the healthcare, but any excuse to keep it closed is good enough for me.
If the people who relied on USAID to survive don't deserve the privileges we've worked to create then none of us do.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I'm the specimen of perfection so your query is lost on me.
Took them long enough, it seems. Apparently lack of traffic controllers wasn't preventing flights last week.
