Secretary of Transportation Duffy has no experience with transportation according to the Wisconsin paper. But he is married to a Fox News host so there you go. That qualifies him in Trump's world.

I hear you. It's the airport that I would have been using since I live in Staten Island. But not sure about that airport now. If I make a flight to see family in Florida, I may use JFK in Queens. I don't ever recall seeing any of those issues from the last administration.

Didn't the Felon post a nasty report about Pete Buttigeig just the other day...and how he "did nothing"? How many plane crashes have we had in the first 100 days?

Newark has always been a busy airport. It was always my least favorite, but I never thought it was unsafe. I was a road warrior for 25 years, I'm so glad those days are behind me!!

Past administrations never addressed FAA's early internal problems, beginning with its 1st FAA administrator, retired AF general Elwood Quesada, who created quasi-military climate in FAA, & staffing shortages since Ronald Reagan's upheaval... that includes Donald Trump's first term in office.

Everything they’ve done has made us unsafe’ air travel health safety environmental safety security safety food safety just nothing but higher prices hate & fuck you to all Americans from Trump & republicans & billionaire cabinet
