Jennifer Homendy NTSB Chair on CNN. Investigators taking trains, driving to site.

[Maru Kitteh]

I don’t have a link because I’m watching it right now - but she related the ordeal of some of their own investigators in simply trying to get to the site. She spoke about investigators waiting 3 hours in the same lines everyone else is, and that many of them opted to take the train or drive to get there.

And I’m watching this thinking . . DAMN . . even the NTSB doesn’t seem too very eager to jump on a plane right now


What a sad and horrible tragedy. I’m so pleased to see Homendy is still there. It’s so good to see that Piggy hasn’t been able to fire every single competent human in the government. She is a masterful professional, from what I have seen over the years.

1. And the regieme is said to be rewriting air travel safety regulations using AI. What could go wrong?

Would you get on a plane? I sure wouldn't.

2. Let's just say I'm picky as hell about my flights

No flights that will land later than one hour before sundown. No flights that are the last run of the day. No flights on peak travel dates with really high prefrence given to days with lower volume. Seats in the back. Always take the seats in the back.

But I love flying. I just do. It would have to get pretty bad to make me drive instead of fly to go see the granddaughter.
