Mayor Pete failed for four years to tackle the shortage of the air traffic controller and to upgrade our outdated Air traffic control system from the Second World War. In less than four weeks we have already started the process and we are busy with the smartest spirits in the whole world.

Here is the truth: only the FAA has no fewer than 45,000 employees. Less than 400 were released and they were all probationary period, which means that they were hired less than a year ago. Zero air traffic controllers and critical security staff were released.

Mayor Pete chose to use this great department -which is so crucial for the success of America -as a slush fund for the green new scam and environmental justice zonzin. Not to mention the fact that more than 90% of the staff worked from home under his leadership – including him. The building was empty!

When we finally get a full accounting of his mismanagement, I look forward to hearing him. In the meantime, I will not rest before I bring the Ministry of Transport and its incredible employees back to the mission of efficiency and safety.
