Anyone watching this press conference about the crash at LaGuardia? [View all]

Sean Duffy brought up that he has asked Congress for money to upgrade the technology. So inappropriate! I was aghast. He qualified it by saying, it wasn't what caused the crash...but. For what reason did he think that needed to be woven into all the thoughts about the two lives lost and the story of the tragedy?

He was asked a question about Air Traffic Controller staffing. He explained that they have many currently in training at the ATC academy. He explained it takes time to get people certified. GEE! Maybe you shouldn't have fired Air Traffic Controllers last year! Thanks DOGE!

Duffy mentioned that he is offering bonuses to ATC's of retirement age to not retire. Gee - maybe you shouldn't have fired all those ATC's last year.

You can give Sean Duffy as many titles as you want - he will never demonstrate leadership qualities.
