"Buttigieg shared a screenshot of a post by CNN reporter Pete Muntean that showed a memo from the FAA saying that the term "NOTAM" would now refer to "Notice to Airmen" instead of "Notice to Air Missions." Muntean noted that the meaning of the term NOTAM was changed to "Missions" in 2021 under President Joe Biden. "So after promising to focus on safety, they've gotten right down to work... on gender terminology?" Buttigieg wrote in a post on Bluesky."
"The U.S. had not had any commercial plane crash fatalities in 16 years until last night, when a military helicopter collided with American Eagle Flight 5342 near Reagan National Airport on January 29. Over 67 people on the helicopter and the plane died that day. Buttigieg's replacement - Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, a former Fox News host and reality TV personality - blamed the FAA's "focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion" when discussing air safety in the aftermath of the American Airlines crash and a medical plane crashing in Pennsylvania, killing seven people."
Pete Buttigieg criticized the new administration for reverting FAA terminology from "Notice to Air Missions" back to the gendered "Notice to Airmen" and highlighted the change via a screenshot of a CNN reporter's post. The NOTAM meaning had been changed to "Missions" in 2021. Buttigieg posted that the administration had promised to focus on safety yet moved to reimplement gendered language. The U.S. experienced a fatal aviation collision on January 29 when a military helicopter collided with American Eagle Flight 5342 near Reagan National Airport, killing over 67 people. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy blamed the FAA's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion while discussing recent crashes.
