Holy fucking shit dude! I'm happy you're ok....
It has been a wild/weird time... Initially I was suppose to fly in Monday but since I had the flu and it got pushed its just a really odd hard to describe feeling...
The conspiracy theories people are running with right now and the wild and honestly unhinged stuff people are saying makes my blood boil. It would be much easier to say this was something done on purpose or because of DEI when the fact is so much sadder and complex than that. My heart breaks for the families having to see and hear this stuff because it just isnt true...
The sad fact is the US is greatly understaffed at the air traffic control level. A mix of a helicopter pilot error and air traffic being stretched thin was the perfect catastrophic mixture. There isnt a quick or easy solution which only makes it worse.

I know air traffic controllers are subject to hours of service laws, and if it's anything like my job, when it's busy they make sure you work every hour that you legally can.
Usually, it's not nearly enough down time to stay 100%

Yeah its been known for years to be something that was an issue various AG's noted this and just incident investigations... its horrific
