Pete Buttigieg Needs To Explain Flight Chaos

Sen. Rick Scott, a Republican from Florida, is wondering about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg the same thing that a lot of Americans other are wondering about Pete Buttigieg.

How can somebody who is as terrible at his job run his mouth just so darn often?

America's airways have been a mess recently, and Scott thinks Buttigieg should giving answers as to why.

Safety is always the top priority, but leaving millions of travelers stranded and delayed to their destinations is not okay.

I expect @FAANews and @SecretaryPete to immediately provide a FULL briefing to Congress on what happened and how they will ensure it NEVER happens again.

Update 5: Normal air traffic operations are resuming gradually across the U.S. following an overnight outage to the Notice to Air Missions system that provides safety info to flight crews. The ground stop has been lifted.

We continue to look into the cause of the initial problem

.@POTUS was briefed by @SecretaryPete early this morning. @POTUS directed DOT/FAA to restore the system quickly and safely, and to determine causes. @SecretaryPete will provide @POTUS an update later this morning.
