    I wonder if this has anything to due with the lack of air traffic controllers and their quality of training due to high turnover. Probably not. Let’s just keep waiting for the next 300+ fatality disaster so we can fix it with thoughts and prayers.

        They’re still contracted by the FAA and I believe have to follow the same standards. I don’t think that they’re a private company is the big issue here.

    Does anyone else feel like we’re seeing more military activity and that that activity is taking less precautions with regards to safely operating around civilian traffic?

    Oddly enough an in-law of my family member lives in northern ND and posted a video he took of a B-52 flyover for some sort of celebration yesterday. It has to be the same plane right??
