Pre-Written Field Reports – CBS NEWS

Seriously, the network needs to just take the rest of the month off at this stage.

On “CBS Mornings,” hostess Gayle King interviewed Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian about this week’s crash landing of one of Delta’s flights upon landing in Toronto. As we have heard, initial blame was placed on Donald Trump for laying off air traffic controllers, except this baseless narrative had two problems; there have been no ATC layoffs (they are actually hiring more), and the FAA does not have any power over CANADIAN AIR TRAFFIC.

So, with those realities destroying narratives, Ms. King has moved on to the next attempted blame, that is Trump is laying off safety personnel. Gayle was corrected on this fabrication by Bastian rather quickly:

The cuts do not affect us, Gayle. I’ve been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation. I understand that the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions, but the reality is there’s over 50,000 people that work at the FAA, and the cuts I understand were 300 people and they were in noncritical safety functions.  The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies that are used in the air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies, they’ve committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators and safety investigators. So no, I’m not concerned with that at all.

All of this information is readily available for a journalist to obtain and had been so prior to this interview, just to clarify.
