I, for one, am incredibly excited to see widespread inconvenience for the middle class. Hopefully this will wake some of these people the fuck up. The super rich still won’t be effected enough, but maybe this will help stir up some malcontent against Orange Julius from the people unaffected by SNAP cuts.
If they stopped providing services to FL180+ non-part-121 traffic they’d see way more reduction in load than just cancelling a little 121 traffic. Idk if anyone has looked at the unfiltered flight trackers but there are a fuck ton of private/business jets up in the flight levels and they’re not flying as predictable of routes (usually into smaller satellite airports near the main ones). They can’t do that though because it would upset all the rich people.
Damnit, I knew I was missing some important exclusion. Hope the people in charge put more thought into what they are doing than I do my lemmy comments lmao
I was at work when i made the original comment and didn’t realize there were that many fellow aviation people here. I love to see it, but I feel like I would have put more thought into my comment if I’d known.
i got interested after the oceangate disaster, because many of the aviation subs were chiming in, because the “sub” was made from defective airplane parts.

Not majorly, but less commerce translates to less money for them because they profit off of all of our legal transactions.
Private planes are still reliant on ATC, especially at out of the way, low traffic airports that will be the first to see cuts
If they’re that low traffic, won’t they just go uncontrolled?
You’re so right, I always forget about GA.

Maybe we should just reject all IFR flight plans with less than 20 passengers other than life flights. Make the rich fly low and slow.
So also cancel ALL cargo flights. Got it.

Don’t threaten me with a good time
Bonus points for VRF into IMC accidents thinning the billionaires out a bit. We can then call Gulfstreams “T tailed billionaire killers”
VRF into IMC should just be shortened to “Kobe landing”
I thought I was on /r/flying for a sec. Nice to see aviation people in Lemmy
Can I be the honorary /u/PM_ME_YOUR_EMPENNAGE? I promise I won’t let this go to my head
You just need to find an instance that doesn’t have that name registered (it’s probably all of them)

Just in time for the holiday season too.
The super rich won’t be directly affected but their businesses will.
they wont be safe in thier bunkers, or compounds either, because you have to pay for staff, pluss things to remove waste and maitanence
yet
What does the American middle class “waking up” look like?
After actually thinking about it, a general strike would be pretty lit.
If i miss a week of work I am fucked.
Yeah, same.
Join a union, they should have a strike fund to at least help you get by.
Else, take PTO if you can, and just sandbag at work if you can’t.
I am in the weed industry. We don’t have a union yet.
You think Americans will think? We have wildly different predictions for how that scenario plays out.
🤷 yeah, you’re probably right. Gotta have hope to make it through the day at this point.
Without context, I honestly thought this reply was in reference to my comment abput red lobster having unlimited popcorn shrimp.
It can be about unlimited popcorn shrimp. Live your best life.
They will all band together and help musk make all flight controller run by private companies
Hopefully doing more than the nothing that they’re doing now.
Are you trying to be funny or do you genuinely not know?
Little bit of both probably. Currently dealing with something more important and only half paying attention to Lemmy while I wait.
Sounds like you need to wake up, not the middle class.
Okie dokie
