"For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU."
"The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business sh**ting on them now."
"Travel? It'll be better than normal, and you know why? It'll be much better than normal because we're buying the most sophisticated avionics [sic] and, you know, technology for our control towers, and we didn't have that."
"We had a guy named Buttigieg. Boot-edge-edge, they say, is the best way. Just say two edges like off the edge of a cliff, which is where they were taking us, by the way,"
Pete Buttigieg criticized Donald Trump for attacking unpaid air traffic controllers amid a government shutdown and for disparaging their service. Trump posted that he was NOT HAPPY WITH YOU at controllers who complained or took time off despite assurances of full pay. Staffing shortages tied to the shutdown produced delayed and canceled flights, prompting a reporter question. Trump predicted travel would be better than normal because of new avionics and control tower technology. Trump mocked Buttigieg’s name with a garbled pronunciation and made disjointed remarks that drew laughter from staff. Air traffic controllers remain unpaid and strained by increased operational pressure.
