FFT3930 DEN to PNS
To the pilot on FFT3930 from DEN to PNS that decided to run his mouth disparaging ATC about not getting their requested final alt due to weather or in your words “Air traffic control shortcomings”. Why don’t you go visit an air traffic facility and have a conversation with controllers. Watch what is being done with significantly inhibited resources and limited equipment. That’s before you add weather and complexity into an already stressful environment. Yall have 1 plane and 200 people to worry about we have 15- 20 planes and thousands of people we are responsible for. Obviously you and probably other pilots don’t seem overly concerned that the FAA Administrator approved a cut of ATC staffing by another 2,000 controllers; at a time when staffing is at an all time low. Imagine working with 70% of your workforce or capabilities daily. Yet still believe everything should be status quo 👌**🏼. How ignorant of you. We do what we need to separate planes and keep people safe. Maybe ALPA should start strongly advocating for ATC and the future viability of the air traffic system. Instead airline CEOs give Ted talks about wanting to replace us with AI. Thought we were a “team” or partners in this. Thanks pal**! 👍**🏼 Btw the ride was smoot**h.
