What is going on @rockthecountry Bloomingdale, GA? Been sitting in the same place for and hour and a half and no one is still moving out of the parking lot.

@DenverChannel Good thing they didn’t call it a “clip” Now the public needs to figure out which publication it was.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

Thank God for TCAS! What the hell is going on with ATC?

This close call on Nashville on Saturday was ugly!! The aircraft targets merged and were only separated by 300’.

How many more people must die before the FAA fixes this?

Controllers are far too underpaid and overworked

Crazy who you run into at @flynashville

Let’s sit down and talk #airtrafficcontrol

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

What’s going on with our Air Traffic Control system? Is it even safe? #atc #airtrafficcontrol #AviationSafety @NBCnow_ @NBCNightlyNews

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@60Minutes @BoyCrazyMama The FAA is a mess. This isn’t to blame any one Presidential administration over another. It’s been a mess since its inception. We are now seeing the results of decades of mismanagement and neglect. People always have to die to get attention. Unfortunately it will keep happening.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@starstodd @FrontierCare I’m guessing they done have enough ramp crew to run the gates.

@RichOToole Lake LBJ!

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@RichOToole He was a good man. Sad to see him go.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@rwyrachel It’s wild how people think that once they get into the airport rules of common decency don’t count.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@RichOToole @PostMalone Set it up! I’ll buy the tacos!

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@rwyrachel DPD needs to arrest more people at the airport. Our society has devolved to people thinking they can treat other people like trash and get away with it. Especially airlines employees. They feel some sort of entitlement because they bought an airplane ticket.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@flyastroapple @thenewarea51 @HobbyAirport His attitude in freq speaks volumes.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@KyBadgley @thenewarea51 Yes sir! Love that story. Just shared it not long ago!

@thenewarea51 Had a bad attitude about it to boot. Lost his cert and got an expensive tow job.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@thenewarea51 Nope mistook our military airport for the civilian airport 5 miles south with the same runway configuration landed without clearance without noticing light gun signals, calls on guard, or the dozens of military aircraft on the ramp.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@thenewarea51 After a few minutes, the training a/c requested a vector to intercept. The AV8Bs “bracketed” the little guy with a high speed pass. He suddenly was able to talk on guard. We gave him an immediate vector to clear the area. Yup, and a number to call.

[Dave Riley @DaveRileyWSM]

@thenewarea51 Had a similar situation in the 90s with w civilian aircraft that entered a restricted area that was in use for air to air combat training.

As the aircraft continued into the area I had advised the training aircraft of the situation and to suspend the training.
