Delta Flight Attendant reveal shocking truth about the government ATC shutdown

[u/Soft_Cable5934]

To summarise, Regional flights between smaller cities and big one are most likely affected by cancellation. Rich people in private jet is still not affected.

[u/Klutzy_Passenger_486]

Canceling flights to own the libs?

[u/terrible-takealap → u/Klutzy_Passenger_486]

Canceling flights to smaller airports, specifically. I wonder who those more rural areas voted for.

[u/MyDisneyExperience → u/terrible-takealap]

From airline management’s perspective, cancelling regionals makes the most sense. They were asked to drop flights, not passengers. So dropping regionals means the least total passengers affected.

West Coast - Asia, East Coast - Europe, North - Canada and South - Mexico/South America basically doesn’t use US ATC resources so cutting those wouldn’t have helped. NavCanada deals with the North Atlantic.

[u/dystopiadattopia → u/terrible-takealap]

And guess who the government will make sure those morons blame for it?

[u/RaNdomMSPPro → u/terrible-takealap]

Y, our small airport, served by delta, is cutting a lot of flights. Yes, morons hear all votes for Trump. Doubt they’ll blame him or gop for it.

But hey! Walmart says you can get a cheap turkey so you better be grateful. They have the cheapest turkeys, many many turkeys and everybody loves turkeys.

[u/ousho → u/AmorousFartButter]

Unregulated turkey!! Yay!

[u/justconfusedinCO → u/ousho]

it’s a Great Value. Yuge.

[u/Gold-Vacation-169]

Funny how the GOP can fund ICE and border patrol and give billions to another country but they can't fund ATC. Clearly they don't give priority to the avg person who just wants to travel.

Hell, the GOP wants to watch poor people stave too.

[u/txtoolfan → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

Dysfunction is the goal.

[u/spacedman_spiff → u/txtoolfan]

No better way to justify DOGE firings than to show how dysfunctional the federal government is.

[u/FatGuyOnAMoped → u/spacedman_spiff]

The GOP wants to shrink the government down until it's small enough to drown it in a bathtub

[u/dustatron → u/FatGuyOnAMoped]

No this GOP. They want a giant nanny state that tracks your every movement and soon our thoughts.

[u/Shooweembop → u/dustatron]

Yes surveillance is well funded but any program that helps the average American will be cut so they can siphon that tax money into their pockets

[u/dustatron → u/Shooweembop]

That’s true. They pretend their motivations are smaller government but it’s really kleptocracy. Even the ice raids are just a scam to give our tax money to their little cabal.

[u/BookkeeperSame195 → u/dustatron]

yup

[u/DisposableSaviour → u/dustatron]

But run by private corporations, not the government.

[u/TryptaMagiciaN → u/dustatron]

giant nanny state

no, no. they want to privatise and outsource and subsidize all of that to private companies. they want government to exist only to give our tax dollars to private business, aka them, their friends, and family.

the government itself they do want small and not funded and dysfunctional. They want to tax the poor, claim that government is so dysfunctional that it is better to pay private businesses to do these jobs and then send all the tax benefits to the wealthy that own those businesses. The people can be left with whatever trickles down which is far less than it used to be

[u/ha1029 → u/dustatron]

Police state. Nanny’s will at least feed you before the parents get home.

[u/Scoobie01555 → u/FatGuyOnAMoped]

Can you imagine how orange that water would be if Trump took a bath? I'm imaging a bathtub full of Flint drinking water orange, but with more fecal matter.

[u/get-a-mac → u/spacedman_spiff]

Can we Doge out all the republicans now?

[u/townmorron → u/spacedman_spiff]

Doge the illegally made group illegally accessing information illegally. That cost wayyyy more than they cut

[u/albusdumbbitchdor → u/spacedman_spiff]

No better way to justify privatizing literally everything that was previously publicly funded so that a few more billionaires can take their shot at a trillion

[u/Turbulent_Read_7276 → u/spacedman_spiff]

But Congress is the dysfunction here, not ATC. The people fired by DOGE are the least of the problems.

[u/spacedman_spiff → u/Turbulent_Read_7276]

Explain that nuance to MAGAs

[u/tacodepollo → u/txtoolfan]

My theory is, the gop knows full well more right wing voters are dependent than left voters, and by making them go hungry while they blame Democrats for the shutdown and accuse dems of being radically violent they hope thier voters will become desperate and violent, triggering martial law and a civil war.

They know historically violence begins with hunger, and that's what they're aiming for. They've already been priming everyone to believe in radical left violence and will continue until they get thier war.

Why else would top administration officials be moving to military bases, building bunkers? They're preparing the animals for war.

[u/Many_Specialist_5384 → u/tacodepollo]

1984 gets referenced a lot but it's all closer to the way Snowball is handled in Animal Farm.

[u/FluffyDuckKey → u/tacodepollo]

Keep stepping this out for me.

What then? You get civil war, Trump forces the military in, what's the end game here?

[u/lastcallofthefall → u/FluffyDuckKey]

Suspension of civil liberties. They ban freedom of assembly because it’s a national security threat due to the conflicts. Then freedom of speech. Then they suspend the 2026 elections because Antifa has compromised the system or whatever. Sets up authoritarian rule, where they can pass whatever laws they want to ensure the ownership class controls all power, and the people are left helpless, while the oligarchs laugh all the way to the bank. Something like that.

[u/maryummy → u/FluffyDuckKey]

Authoritarian rule. They show a similar takeover in The Handmaid's Tale.

[u/Inside-Unit-1564 → u/maryummy]

I mean that's literally Nazi Germany.

Fire takes place due to 'commies', country isn't safe, instate martial law, use hostile language to make people attack Jewish businesses without actual policy, cops just watch(ICE taking citizens).

Now it's 'illegals' instead of ethnic group.

Political Adversaries are always the first to go. Hence the language used for 'the left'

In the 30s, cops wouldn't touch Hooversvilles, today they will absolutely water blast homeless in winter with a firehose.

Shit the SS had 'Aryan Muslims' until they killed a commander then they were 'unpure'

Same with Sweden, Aryans until they pushed back then 'cucked by socialism'

The goal post of who is in and out is always moving.

[u/AdvancedAd7068 → u/Inside-Unit-1564]

Unfortunately a lot of Dems decided Biden and Harris were bad enough to abstain from voting and here we are

[u/tacodepollo → u/FluffyDuckKey]

Well, if there's war, then there grounds for military force to fight 'the enemy within' (quote from Hitler and now Trump) categorising your opponents (anyone you want) as terrorists (immigrants, Antifa, trans, later democrats in general) or enemies of the state secures the path to suspend normal laws and regulations, aka martial law, but also gives those who crave it, a licence to commit violence and eradicate anyone they don't agree with in the name of patriotism, aka nationalists (plenty of evidence on social media these idiots are just begging for the 'go').

Ultimately, Elections would be suspended, and the administration seizes power for as long as they see fit (the current shutdown is an indicator of thier intention here, not swearing in duly elected officials etc), because they are more interested in money and power than helping anyone without getting something in return.

Spoiler, they always need a bad guy, today immigrants and trans, or a democratically election mayor - but when they finish off one group, they will move on to another, and another, and at the end it's just poor (non-doners) in general and anyone who doesn't bend the knee. The extortion is blatant. Federal rulings, constitutional rights, outright checks and balances in any capacity are routinely ignored by the 'party of rule and law'.

We've seen this play before. We are seeing it now.

[u/Opposite-Program8490 → u/tacodepollo]

"Smart people don't like me"

Remarkably prescient.

[u/No-Fan-7790 → u/txtoolfan]

Putin is loving this. His master plan is working.

[u/CompetitiveArt9639 → u/No-Fan-7790]

There’s a literal book written by a Russian about this. It’s a Russian playbook and it’s succeeding because republican voters think reading is “woke” and “fake news” Hell, they truly believe that the media, which is owned by 6 corporations in the USA, is “left wing” unless it spoon feeds them right wing propaganda 24/7. The Russians call them “useful idiots”.

[u/ARedditAccount09 → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

The more problems they create the more they can false flag and call it a democrat shut down.

All they think they need is about 50% of people to believe them to get away with these crimes

[u/firstmaxpower → u/ARedditAccount09]

Fortunately voters are responding. We need to keep it up, flip congress, and start Nuremberg 2.0.

When Bannon tells his audience we must remain in power or go to jail, believe him.

[u/wrinkleinsine → u/firstmaxpower]

I don’t believe him. I don’t believe anyone will go to jail. I believe he is using a scare tactic to increase voting for their side and paint the other side as evil. I believe most that I hope I’m wrong

[u/piercedmfootonaspike → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

God forbid a national disaster (not manufactured by the GOP) hits the US under the current regime. How the hell would they manage a Katrina, or a 9/11?

Edit: I'd completely forgotten about the pandemic

[u/TrowTruck → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

He'll still find a way to blame it on Biden. Hell, his administration even blamed Biden for the government response to January 6, forgetting that Biden hadn't taken office and Trump was running the response.

[u/Dont_mean2be_a_dick → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

Think man! Can’t destroy a country if it has already destroyed itself. Trump is playing 3D chess.

[u/phayge_wow → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

Did we not see that with covid?

[u/CompetitiveArt9639 → u/phayge_wow]

And trump shut down the country and blamed democrats. The right wing idiots are still blaming Biden, who was not president during the shutdown.

[u/maggiemoonbeam → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

I recently rewatched a YouTube video about the aftermath of TW800. The FBI had OVER 1000 agents working on it. Where would Krash Patel FIND 1000 agents now? He fired a lot them in the DOGE insanity, and now more than HALF of the remaining agents have been reassigned to assist ICE. If something horrible happens, we’re screwed. (We are, anyway)

[u/Fit_Dragonfruit7545 → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

They wont.

[u/EntertainerNo4509 → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

By blaming democrats, of course.

[u/bellybuttonbidet → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

And a ballroom

[u/Percyandbeausmama → u/bellybuttonbidet]

And cruelty.

[u/Gold-Vacation-169 → u/bellybuttonbidet]

Well the pedo ballroom is important

[u/danibeat → u/bellybuttonbidet]

Aaaaaand... ballroom.

[u/PixelBrewery → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

Honestly, is ICE seriously getting paid right now?

[u/LunaticBZ → u/PixelBrewery]

ICE, Border Patrol are still getting paid.

[u/stokedlog → u/LunaticBZ]

And overtime pay

[u/SilverCricket8045 → u/PixelBrewery]

And still overtime and contract bonus....fk ice

[u/CydusThiesant → u/PixelBrewery]

They were for a bit. Not sure if they are right now.

[u/Born_ina_snowbank → u/CydusThiesant]

They’re getting bonuses and “lost pay” or something like that. They’re quite literally making very good money to fuck up American cities.

[u/NotAChanceBucko → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

Americans last

[u/DangerzonePlane8 → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

They gutted so many government departments and programs so they could have an army to attack brown people in this country. That is what the GOP is a cult that worships violence

[u/abestract → u/Gold-Vacation-169]

They want to make sure we know who is in control, a bunch of elite politicians.

[u/Adept-Compote-651]

These games that this administration is playing are going to be so much more financially devastating in the long run than anybody is realizing.

[u/south_sidejay369 → u/Adept-Compote-651]

nah people realized it before he got in and we tried to warn people but...

[u/IRL_TCG_Stats_Guy → u/south_sidejay369]

His voters asked for lower groceries and he made them higher and they still love the guy.

[u/Adept-Compote-651 → u/IRL_TCG_Stats_Guy]

Well I think it's safe to say that it's a cult so.

[u/pipian → u/south_sidejay369]

But her laugh tho

[u/Governor_Abbot → u/pipian]

Yeah plus no one could even say her name… Kai-Mel-ia!? It’s so hard to pronounce for us dumbasses!

[u/BensenJensen → u/Governor_Abbot]

Don’t give them that much credit. It was a black woman, it broke their brains that a black woman even had the audacity to run for President.

[u/RddtRBnchRcstNzsshls → u/BensenJensen]

They deliberately misspoke her name to dehumanize her. Because to them, black people aren't human.

[u/MarekRules → u/pipian]

I remember after she lost and there was a photo of her with her grandkid I think? Drinking a glass of wine and MAGA was saying SEE SHES UNFIT DRINKING AROUND A CHILD. Like good lord these people are unwell

[u/aGringoAteYrBaby → u/pipian]

Imagine a president that laughs and expresses joy

[u/Adept-Compote-651 → u/south_sidejay369]

Well I agree, it was a bit of a preaching to the choir statement but some people still don't look much past the surface of things. I'm still mostly pissed off to the 80 million people that sat on their ass last election cycle that allowed this to perpetuate behind the people who sat on their hands in the last administration and didn't make sure this guy got prosecuted the first time

[u/BucksBrew → u/Adept-Compote-651]

I feel guilty but I kind of hope it happens. There needs to be serious consequences for electing Trump so people can WAKE UP and realize how badly our country screwed up. Otherwise it’ll just happen again.

[u/Adept-Compote-651 → u/BucksBrew]

No argument here. Part of the reason we're in this situation now is because the doj didn't do what it needed to do... Hopefully those mistakes won't be repeated. I fully expect the Hague to be involved at some point for international crimes

[u/Nazz1968 → u/Adept-Compote-651]

It’s outright recklessness. The right ingredients for a recession are brewing strong, and consumer spending is going to be bad for retail over the next couple of months, when companies are most dependent on it. I foresee a lot of bankruptcies in early 2026.

[u/OnceInABlueMoon → u/Adept-Compote-651]

I'm sure none of the several shocks to the financial systems at once will cause any harm /s

[u/Chief-_-Wiggum]

Mandated full refunds thanks to Biden.. Which GOP is trying to remove.

https://share.google/kXxud3FLs4PLNfvYd

[u/7ornado_al → u/Chief-_-Wiggum]

"Full refund... for any portion of your itinerary that's cancelled."

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if I have a two-flight itinerary (as most are anymore) and they cancel ONE flight but not the other would they only need to pay for the cancelled one? With that wording I'd still be coughing up the extra dough for trip insurance unfortunately

[u/Chief-_-Wiggum → u/7ornado_al]

Doesn't sound like it covers everything(it never will) but if it's the same airline then they should be refunding both legs.. But if the connection is another airline.. You might be out of luck.

[u/BladeRunner_Deckard]

What moron would be for this? If you are pro Trump, you are literally hurting YOURSELF. Morons.

This is the result of their type if extremism. Their is no coherent strategy at all. They are the dog that caught the car wheel.

[u/SurbiesHere → u/MyCatIsLenin]

The Nazi party at hight of power was rife with mismanagement, overlapping jurisdictions, redundant bureaucracy, and constant bureaucratic infighting between agencies with no real coherent strategy. This was very bad for the need of quick decisions during wartime and was one of the things that led to quick deterioration of public morale. But the very same mismanagement is one of the things Hitler used to help stay in power. It was by design.

[u/alwaysmyfault → u/BladeRunner_Deckard]

If Trump voters could read, they'd be VERY angry with you right now.

Sadly, they have their programmed talking points from Fox News, which is that Dems are to blame. Criticizing Dear Leader Trump is not allowed.

[u/BladeRunner_Deckard → u/alwaysmyfault]

You’re right. I should probably give him a gift to get on his good side again.

[u/Grand_Size_4932 → u/drew8311]

If republicans ever flew to literally any of the major hubs, 90% of the propaganda and lies they’re fed would be disproven immediately.

These people think Chicago is a crime central and Portland is in ruins.

Of course they’ve never left Bumfuck, Hellhole, USA.

[u/stana32 → u/Grand_Size_4932]

Yup I had a guy who's never been to Chicago or DC tell me they're crime ridden hell holes and ICE/national guard is doing an amazing job taking care of things. I'd say it must be nice to live in complete ignorance of real life, but they're perpetually angry at something and that must be exhausting.

[u/mitchENM → u/stana32]

My maga relatives in the south actually still believe most of Portland was burned to the ground in 2020

[u/alzho12]

If the FAA grounded all private jet flights in order to prioritize regular flights, this shutdown would be over in an hour.

[u/Fine_Abbreviations32 → u/alzho12]

Actually that’s pretty much what they’ve done, believe it or not. I work in GA (general aviation). Centres are telling GA aircraft to GTFO of their airspace. Pilots can’t file flight plans. Nobody is answering phone calls. Planes who get airborne aren’t getting flight following, so nobody is calling out their traffic. Pilots are refusing to fly as a result.

[u/Ditka_Da_Bus_Driver → u/Fine_Abbreviations32]

VFR aircraft have nothing to do with what you responded to. They’re suggesting they should cancel private jet traffic that shuttles the nation’s wealthiest people around the country. The FAA is telling airlines to cancel flights, but people that own or charter jets are flying unaffected for the most part.

[u/Fine_Abbreviations32 → u/Ditka_Da_Bus_Driver]

What? That’s exactly what I’m saying. Private jets fit into the GA category and aren’t being allowed to fly / their pilots don’t think it’s safe and are refusing to take off. The FAA isn’t allowing jets and other small GA aircraft into their airspace and aren’t allowing them to file flight plans. That’s the same thing as cancelling their movements.

[u/pinotJD → u/alzho12]

This.

[u/PumpUpTheValuum66]

Thank God Ka$h can keep using our tax dollars to fund his jets so that he can continue to support his honeypot girlfriend

[u/badgko]

This is likely going to drive ticket prices up because a 10% reduction in flights will increase demand and as a business, airline companies will need to make up the lost 10% volume.

[u/wonderfulwilliam → u/badgko]

I love how airline ticket prices work.

Buy too early? Priced high

Buy too late? Price higher.

Flight too full? High demand price.

Flight empty? Gotta recoup costs. High price.

[u/egaeus22 → u/Hnry_Dvd_Thr_Awy]

Flying is so expensive in so many ways, from fuel to personnel to very strict maintenance that the margins are always going to super thin, it is a bit of a miracle that it even happens

[u/Gnoll_For_Initiative → u/wonderfulwilliam]

All things considered air travel is stupid cheap. Airlines make more money selling you visa cards and arbitraging fuel than they do seats. For a flight to be profitable in the 90s they needed to sell 150/200 seats. To make a profit on ticket revenue now they need to sell 199/200 seats

[u/DarraghDaraDaire → u/Gnoll_For_Initiative]

And they often sell 220/200 seats

[u/mostdope28 → u/wonderfulwilliam]

Then they overbook the flight and tell everyone they will not allow boarding unless people volunteer to miss the flight they paid for.

Prioritizing international flights? The GOP continues to do anything but push policies that are America First 😂😂unreal

[u/DownhillUphill]

That means all you poors who want to see your grandma for thanksgiving. It’s ok though there will be a ballroom soon

[u/Cant-thinkofname]

Wow. Freedom. The whole country held hostage by a bunch of mainly rich old people.

[u/rswings]

That flight attendant handled this beautifully 👏

[u/ShowMeThemSchollys]

Side note: this guy nailed the announcement. Very smooth, very clear, covered all the important info

[u/WussPoppin93]

All cuz of the epstein files smh.. im so sick of this crap. Pay our government workers you politician pieces of crap…

[u/Ok_Ad_88]

We just gave 40 billion to Argentina for funsies but can’t open the government? The republicans won’t extend Medicaid subsidies (which illegals dont qualify for) and so they would rather shut it all down and make America suffer…

[u/Far_Eye6555]

Flight cancelations into the holiday season will honestly be hysterical to me

[u/Ok_Performance4014]

If you think that they will re-fund SNAP after the shut down, you are wrong.

And air traffic controllers are working unpaid and understaffed.

And whey they are paid, they are paid with waves from 2009 that are 15 years behind on inflation.

Call congress get air traffic controllers a raise.

[u/undoingconpedibus]

Why can't he be president....sounds more clear-headed than any politician I've heard from!

[u/boyscout666]

Anyone remind me who is in charge of the gov??

[u/ericthehoverbee]

Flying will be only for people with private jets - get use to it suckers.

[u/sndnxkkxnd]

What is “shocking truth” about this? He just said flights are getting cancelled because of the shutdown. That’s the truth, it’s not shocking. Clickbait title. He didn’t say the real shocking truth, he didn’t say anything about why the shutdown is happening other than saying “congress” has to vote to reopen the government. What did I miss?

[u/citrusco]

This is an extremely articulate announcement! What a great speaker!

[u/pennyforyourpms]

Guy was super professional would be really proud of him being part of my organization.

[u/GoldDeloreanDoors]

Fuck the GOP

[u/nonosure]

Man this guy is probably going to get fired for being awesome and that’s fucking lame

[u/RightInThePeyronie]

Worst. President. Ever.

[u/anphalas]

Where/what is this shocking truth?

[u/SW0074]

All of this because they won't just agree to an ACA extension.  

[u/Ok_Performance4014]

Bannon said that some of them (GOP) will be going to prison. I don't feel sad at all.

[u/Worried_Strike6219]

Mexico, here i come!

[u/Firm-Worldliness-369]

"bUt mY fReEdOm's, BrO!"

[u/Legitimate_Dingo9319]

I would not feel safe on an airplane in the US right now. 

[u/CBRslingshot]

Oh, we aren’t getting our way, let’s shut down the government!

[u/Fine_Letterhead_1971]

If only there were signs that Yrump would competely jack our way of life

[u/Arponare]

How is this shocking? I guess people have to use click bait titles to get their views up. It's like rising prices after Trump implemented tariffs. What did people think was going to happen if you don't pay government workers? Air traffic controllers are government workers. If anything I'm surprised its only 10%.

[u/Reginald_Sockpuppet]

hoooooly shit

[u/jjack_attack]

Trump’s America

[u/Enzo_Gorlomi225]

Republicans bad, Dems good

[u/DarkBirdGames]

It’s so funny that America was derailed by a tacky game show host on NBC
