Chaos continues at Newark Airport as air traffic controllers take trauma leave after terrifying close calls. Broken equipment and staffing shortages have left controllers overwhelmed, risking passenger safety while Democrats ignore the crisis.
Controllers are walking off the job under federal “trauma leave” rules after repeated radar blackouts nearly caused midair collisions. One supervisor described barely avoiding disaster when two planes came within 100 feet of each other. These heroes protect travelers daily while Washington abandons them.
United Airlines’ CEO attacked controllers for “abandoning their posts,” but the truth is liberals defunded critical infrastructure. Overworked controllers face failing equipment daily – radios die mid-shift and screens go black as they guide 500-mph jets. This isn’t laziness – it’s trauma from Biden’s failed policies.
The union says controllers love their jobs but need proper tools. One veteran blasted claims they’re faking stress: “Would you gamble 200 lives with glitchy gear?” These patriots deserve support, not insults from coastal elites who’ve never worked a real job.
Behind the crisis? Radical Democrats redirected airport funds to pet projects instead of runway safety. While conservatives push to fix aging systems, the left wastes money on green energy fantasies. Our skies shouldn’t pay the price for their woke experiments.
Controllers sacrifice birthdays and holidays to keep families safe – often working 10-hour shifts without breaks. Meanwhile, the FAA spends millions on diversity seminars instead of radar upgrades. Real Americans need action, not another sensitivity training video.
The FAA claims they’re “training replacements,” but experts say fixes take years. Passengers suffer 4-hour delays while bureaucrats drag their feet. It’s time to fire the pencil-pushers and hire leaders who value safety over political correctness.
Common-sense conservatives would slash red tape, fund critical tech, and support our frontline defenders. Let’s put America First by giving controllers the tools they need – before the next close call becomes a catastrophe.
