Glad that I am not travelling by air today

Funny thing about Mayor Pete.  Before his tenure, most Americains were unaware that we had a Secretary of Transportation.  If they were aware of this Cabinet post, they were hard-pressed to remember the name of the occupant.

Now? Everyone knows who he is.  From FOX Business News:

FAA lifts airline ground stop as flight delays, cancellations pile up across the country
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration lifted its ground stop order Wednesday morning after suffering a nationwide technical outage causing mass cancellations and delays.

The travel chaos was caused by the failure of the FAA's Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, which alerts pilots and other personnel about airborne issues and other delays at airports across the country. More than 740 flights were canceled in the U.S., and more than 4,300 more flights in the U.S. were delayed, as of 9:20 a.m. ET.

Of course, this will never affect Pete - from FOX News (12/12/2022:)

Pete Buttigieg often flies on taxpayer-funded private jets, flight data show
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, an advocate of increased government action to curb carbon emissions, has taken at least 18 flights using taxpayer-funded private jets since taking office, Fox News Digital has learned.

Must be nice to be so insulated from the chaos that his mismanagement is causing.
