Save Airplane Safety

To: Sen. Merkley, Sen. Wyden

From: A constituent in Wilsonville, OR

May 9

What is the Senator doing about our air travel crisis? Because the Trump administration’s rank incompetence is going to lead to catastrophe. This is literally all their fault: first, the FAA was left without leadership after Musk forced the Administrator to resign. Then Trump fired TSA’s leadership and dismantled the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. Then Trump offered air traffic controllers buyouts even though we had a nationwide staffing shortage. And now Americans are terrified to fly. I'm frankly glad I don't live especially near an airport so the odds of a plane coming right over my house or my child's school are not as high as in areas closer to airports! Congress needs to act.
