Fam. Eggs prices are skyrocketing. I haven’t seen one article about the FDA or Agriculture
Pete Buttigieg is a failure at the U.S. Department of Transportation - UPDATE: He's improved!!
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
The FAA has its own infrastructure.
If Pete were responsible for appointing these people the argument would hold more weight.
Southwest shyt the bed one weekend while no one else did but that’s his fault?!?
It's a lot of what you said before.
2017 and 2018 were met with mass delays and outages, but I don't recall one Elaine Chao is a massive failure thread over it.
Thousands of Delta flights canceled days after storms
More long lines and delays were reported Saturday morning at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Is the FAA under the Department of Transportation or not?
Thats not absolving Biden or the Senate for not having a confirmed director, but it’s still under Buttigieg’s scope. We don’t need to run interference for him.
The Bernie bros invented some argument to undermine him during the southwest thing for not doing preemptive fines or something??? Y’all just come up with weird shyt when disaster hits

Why would we have a thread on this when a majority of the forum said Trump and his admin is a clown show and mocked it hourly.
Buttigieg is doing a bad job in this role and doesn’t deserve your excuse making and whataboutisms.
Do you believe appointing effective leadership at the FAA would lead to better results?
If these failures are due to leadership decisions at the FAA, which I think it's hard to argue against with a software update causing flights to he grounded, then the issue falls squarely on the president and Senate for not appointing appropriate leadership. They've been using an active head since March of last year.
So yes, the FAA falls under the DOT, but this scenario unlike the policy discussions we've had early don't fall on Pete because this isn't a policy issue.
This is on the FAA admin and since Pete has no authority over the hiring and firing of its leadership I just don't see the point of trying to throw this on him.
Actually, the point being made is people were so caught up in Trump's fukkery or governance through Chaos that they put little to no energy into how poorly they were performing. Now that things have settled they now are looking at these things like this is a new issue.
I'm not sure why folks would say the Trump administration was working hard to dismantle out systems then act surprised when the systems are failing.
The FAA has been facing many of these issues for decades. Acting as if this is the result of one man's failed policy is just blatantly missing the forest for the trees.
I've argued throughout that there needs to be a massive overhaul of most of these agencies and their purviews, but that only happens with the legislative branch actually doing their jobs.

I guess it will be said again, the FAA is within the DOT.
If anything, Biden should be getting more criticism for this but that does not absolve Buttigieg.
of what????
You can't say what he's done poorly except when the actual FAA shyts the bed itself.
Does he derail trains too?
By your own logic we should be blaming Biden. Isn't the DOT under the executive branch? Isn't Biden the President?
Pete doesn't have limitless control over the 10 agencies within the DOT and it's absurd to suggest that he's going to micromanage them to the point that he's in charge of software updates. And while there is some awareness that he shoukd receive and heads up. I think it'd absurd to assume the former Mayor from Indiana has any knowledge in that space.
We can criticize Pete for his responses and general policy implementation, but I find it interesting considering we generally accept that the President is the one ultimately dictating what he'd like to see put of Major policies.

my own logic? My own words just said that. Good job for reading.your own logic we should be blaming Biden. Isn't the DOT under the executive branch? Isn't Biden the President?
Nah, secretaries have wide control over their departments. He was also warned about this in the past and if he did his research on the position, he would have known the FAA mess is a priority From past administrations. He didn’t do shyt.
I made two points:my own logic? My own words just said that. Good job for reading.

Pete does not have control over appointing the leadership of the FAA. Potentially because the FAA predates the DOT. Without that sort of control it's hard to really do some of the things you suggest. Broad doesn't mean limitless
The FAA is a mess. But until they appoint the person (who I assume he wanted to run the agency) and not holdovers from previous years it is what it is.
Blame Biden. He clearly doesn't care much about this or sees it as problematic as you do. If he did he would have replaced a lot of folks.
