Polly Trottenberg: ‘Technical Details Were a Little Vague’ as Trump Officials Failed To Explain Nationwide Ground Stop

RUSH EXCERPT:

TROTTENBERG: “Yeah. And first of all, thanks, Jen. Obviously, my heart goes out to the passengers and the frontline folks tonight, the folks at the FAA, the air traffic controllers, the airlines, the ground crews. It’s been a rough night for everybody. And good news at least that the ground stop has been lifted. Look, I have to agree with you. Technical details were a little vague, and I’m sure there will be a lot more information to come. You know, obviously, secretary duffy making a passionate plea for more funding for the FAA. And I think that’s something in the aviation community. There’s broad agreement that more investment is needed. I think his description, in a way of the sort of the failings of the system, there’s there’s some real validity there, but I think there has to be a lot more of a nexus between what exactly has happened, what kind of dollars may be needed to solve any immediate problems.”
