🚨 WOW! Trump Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy is SURGING Air Traffic Control modernization, already replacing 50% of copper wire — he's now also DITCHING the paper and floppy disks Hiring is skyrocketing. Why is the fake news ignoring this? Biden oversaw an air traffic CRISIS that Trump is FIXING! It should be one of the top stories. "That have already happened, including replacing almost 50% of all copper wire, converting 270 radio sites, new surface awareness systems at 54 airports and transitioning 17 towers to electronic flight strips." COMING NEXT: - 5,000 high speed network connectors, fiber, satellite, wireless - 27,000 new radios - 612 modern radars - 435 ATC facilities with new enterprise info display systems DUFFY: "They use these PAPER flight strips! We are going to digitize all of that." "Many of the younger viewers might not know what this is, but this is a floppy disk. This runs the computer system in aviation."

.Secretary Sean Duffy: We are going to have a brand-new system. Our system is 25-30 years old. We use copper wires, floppy disks. It's safe, but we're seeing the cracks of age... we're going to have brand new radar, brand new terminals for our air traffic controllers...

Some of our air traffic control towers use radars from the 1960s and the operating system we use dates back to 1995 and 2000. We’re dealing with floppy discs and paper strips! The mess we inherited is insane. Technology has far exceeded what we have so U.S. Department of Transportation is upgrading our air traffic control with the most advanced system. Check out all the details in my interview with Miranda Devine on Pod Force One! ⬇️

Air traffic control is a great career with great pay and you don't need a college degree to apply. And as we build our brand new air traffic control system, you have the opportunity to be leading the way into the golden age of air travel in America 🇺🇸 As part of National Air Traffic Control Day, I want to thank our controllers for keeping us all safe.

At the world’s busiest airport, Chicago O’Hare, I checked in with a couple air traffic controllers and visited their tower. Did you know that because of understaffing, many of their controllers are only able to take 4 days off PER MONTH? Controllers, thank you for your dedication to serving our skies. ✈️ #CheckInWithSean

THANK YOU, to the air traffic controllers who are showing up and working hard for the Americans in our skies. THEIR NEXT PAYCHECK WILL BE $0! Many controllers have to find second jobs like driving Uber, just to bridge the gap and put food on the table. Democrats: open the government NOW so controllers can feed their families!
