For years, Americans have watched our once-proud institutions collapse under the weight of incompetence, political favoritism, and “woke” social engineering. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Federal Aviation Administration — the agency responsible for the safety of America’s skies. The FAA under Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg became a political playground, more concerned with diversity quotas and virtue signaling than with maintaining the high standards that keep passengers safe and air traffic controllers respected.
The following message — written by a former air traffic controller with over three decades of experience — pulls back the curtain on what really happened inside the FAA during the Biden years. It’s a scathing firsthand account from someone who loved their job, took pride in their service, and ultimately walked away because the agency he dedicated his life to had been gutted by political agendas.
From forced COVID shots to hiring based on identity politics rather than competence, this veteran controller exposes the rot that spread through the ranks under Buttigieg’s leadership. His words reflect the frustration and betrayal felt by countless government employees who saw merit replaced with mediocrity, safety compromised by ideology, and common sense erased in the name of “equity.”
And as this former controller points out, while the current administration is working to restore accountability and professionalism, the left is still trying to rewrite the narrative — pretending the chaos they created is someone else’s fault. His blunt response to Buttigieg’s recent commentary says what millions of working Americans are thinking: Enough.
“I worked under your FAA @PeteButtigieg and, after 34 years, mostly as an Air Traffic Controller, I retired because of how you and the Biden administration, to use your words, shit on every employee at the FAA and ruined a once fine agency.
You allowed men into my office bathroom. I had to work with and for people you hired and promoted because of the color of their skin or who they have sex with who were wholly and completely unqualified for their job.
You FORCED me to inject an experimental dangerous drug into my body in order to keep my job and paycheck. As for what the current ATC’s “have been through”, every single one of them is eligible for an interest-free loan program which their credit unions initiate during every government shutdown. As well, they all can withdraw from their TSP accounts. Every FAA employee knows these are both well established, common practices during shutdowns, so the only ones not coming to work are the ones making a political statement. President Trump is right to call them out.
You, sir, can sit down and shut up.”
