Airline CEO Admits Ticket Scam Permitted By Buttigieg




In unusually candid comments to company investors, United CEO Scott Kirby said ongoing cancellations among competitors are happening because the airlines are advertising schedules they can’t actually fly.

“There are a number of airlines who cannot fly their schedules,” he said. “The customers are paying the price. They’re canceling a lot of flights. But they simply can’t fly the schedules today.”

Referencing the December travel meltdown, he added: “What happened last year, is what I think is going to happen next year,” adding that his own company's service was far more reliable, thanks to investments in staffing and technology.

Complaints against the major U.S. airlines, including United, more than tripled in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, as companies routinely sold tickets for flights they could not adequately staff, canceled the flights at the last minute, and slow-walked or withheld refunds while collecting billions in taxpayer bailout dollars.

The behavior prompted 34 attorneys general to write to Buttigieg on December 16th asking his agency to “require airlines to advertise and sell only flights that they have adequate personnel to fly and support, and perform regular audits of airlines to ensure compliance and impose fines on airlines that do not comply.”

DAVID MARCUS: Ohio is burning but Buttigieg is obsessed with racism in construction… and there's only confusion on the Chinese balloon threat… what kind of a White House has nothing to say about what Americans REALLY care about?



Given that this fiasco involves national security and intelligence, it is reasonable that Biden won't simply reveal all. But so far, we've gotten mixed messages leading to confusion and even fear. And to this administration, sickeningly, it's all a big gag.

On Monday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg cracked wise about the situation while lamenting the challenges he's confronted. 'We've faced issues from container shipping to airline cancellations… Now we got balloons,' he joked to a smattering of awkward laughter in the audience.

Ha-ha indeed.

To make matters worse, Buttigieg has blatantly ignored a mushroom cloud of noxious smoke emanating from burning toxic chemicals spewed from a train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio.

Republican slams Pete Buttigieg for being more worried about racism in construction than the Ohio train derailment: J.D. Vance demands answers for terrified residents forced to flee their homes

  • Buttigieg accused construction sites of not hiring workers that look like the communities they're building for
  • He later said on Twitter the Transportation Department was working to 'support' investigations into derailment
  • 'He's more concerned about white construction workers,' Vance told DailyMail.com

While hailed as a trailblazer by the left for being the first openly gay cabinet secretary, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., does the gay community no favors by harping on gay victimhood, believes Ric Grenell, an openly gay man who served as ambassador to Germany and acting Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration.

"When I see Mayor Pete come forward and talk about issues, it's never a smart talk about transportation," Grenell said on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "It's always about these irrelevant characteristics about subgroups. To me he creates division, because he keeps pretending like we're all in different boxes."

Buttigieg-style identity politics pandering reduces a varied community of individuals to a stereotypical, one-dimensional victim class, Grenell argues.

"We've fought very hard in the gay community to be accepted as a whole human being — as someone who should be held to account on our liabilities and take responsibilities for everything just like everyone else," he said. "And yet I see Mayor Pete working really hard to try to create the gay community as a fringe group that is so weak that it needs to be protected."

The FAA administrator, Billy Nolen, speaking on the multiple "near misses" at airports yesterday seemed intelligent. And his background as a pilot and Gay Pilots Association leader fits in with Pete. And looks like Don Lemon. What could go wrong? Hey, so what if two huge planes have a head on collision?

Recently, some investors bought some abandoned brownstones in San Juan Hill (NY) for refurbishing. They had grants from all the Federal Programs in place, paid the "organized" management companies acquired permits. They were ready to break ground.
Then...
Mayor Pete's people entered the room and demanded diversity in the construction crews. Well, not wanting to lose their investments, they hired two general contractors, SHARKS BROTHERS and JETS Construction....

On day 1... In the distance, a single mellow saxophone was heard .....
Then, a chorography team came out from behind burned-out tenements, snapping their fingers and dancing.

The Bernstein's... !!!!!

There is a Gay Pilot's Association? You're shitting me. That's laughable.

Buttigieg notes Ohio getting 'particularly high amount of attention,' while trains derail '1,000' times a year





Buttigieg continues to face backlash after he was slow to discuss the train derailment causing toxic chemicals to pollute the East Palestine and the surrounding region. He finally addressed the disaster on Monday night, 10 days after the train crashed.

Buttigieg was asked by Yahoo! Finance about what the Transportation Department is doing.

"Look, rail safety is something that has evolved a lot over the years, but there's clearly more that needs to be done because while this horrible situation has gotten a particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing," he said.

Destroying Meritocracy Is Deadly




Something has gone terribly wrong.

Either the Department of Transportation and its Secretary Pete Buttigieg, or the head of the FAA, or the quality of either ground crews, pilots, or air traffic controllers -- or all combined -- are putting American travelers at mortal risk.

If not corrected, these near-death airline experiences and the near collapse of the U.S. commercial aviation system presage catastrophes to come.

Similar problems are plaguing the U.S. military.

On July 21, 2021 the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley assured the country that "The Afghan security forces have the capacity and capabilities needed to fight and defend their country."

Those forces utterly collapsed in a matter of hours less than a month later.

On the eve of the war in Ukraine, the Pentagon wrongly warned Congress that Kyiv could fall within 72 hours of a general Russian invasion.
