@MJG_Write @peachtreeteen I cannot believe you ALREADY get to write a prequel trilogy! This is wildly amazing career news. I still have to catch up on Downfall.

[Doug Lane @dlane]

I’m supportive of ambitious goals like ATC modernization, but the @NTSB made 33 very specific recommendations to the @FAANews in January. We deserve a substantive update on each and every one tomorrow.

[Doug Lane @dlane]

I think many gov’t officials underestimate the number of lives beyond immediate family that were touched by the Flight 5342 tragedy. Lots of folks in skating rinks, churches, and other communities who now know what ADS-B In is and are paying attention. Time for action.

[Air Line Pilots Association @ALPAPilots]

What is ADS-B In — and why does it matter? Our pilots explain. 🎥 The House and Senate bills now go to conference — ALPA is calling on Congress to include the ROTOR Act's full ADS-B In mandate in the final bill. 67 families are counting on it🔗 https://t.co/eFtydeSNMX

[Matt Collins @MattCollins5342]

Running out of amount of reasons why ADS-B In needs to be mandatory on planes with ADS-B Out already required but here is another reason. Thankfully TCAS warned them but as we have learned TCAS isn’t reliable under 1000 feet. Let’s tighten these requirements in the ALERT with clear language with timelines on completion dates

[Justin P @jwparente]

Imagine sitting in an NTSB hearing and watching a similar recreation of these flight paths for an imminent collision. But your brother didn't make it home. Or your sister. Your father. Mother. YOUR loved one. I know what it's like, and no one should know that feeling.

[Doug Lane @dlane]

TCAS Resolution Advisories save the day again. But until ADS-B In with aural alerting and cockpit display of traffic information is required, there is no last line of defense under 1,000 feet AGL for situations like Flight 5342.

This is huge news. The @famofflight5342 know that the failures of January 29th did not originate in the control tower alone. The breakdowns were imminent, and unfortunately, our loved ones were the casualties. We keep moving forward.

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

🚨 TRUMP ADMIN BREAKS U.S. RECORD FOR HIRING EFFORT FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS 🚨

In just 13 HOURS: 8,004 Americans applied to join our controller ranks — that’s over 10 applications EVERY MINUTE!

EVEN BETTER, 7,252 applicants are qualified!

This is now the FASTEST application pace in AMERICAN HISTORY for Air Traffic Controllers ✈️

Did you know… the @FAANews has been recruiting controllers since 1958 —  67 YEARS AGO? Today interest in joining has never been HIGHER

We’re just getting started!

Applications are still open — apply here: https://t.co/Sc8USUyyfM

[FamiliesofFlight5342 @famofflight5342]

@SecDuffy and @FAA_Bryan -

Strong momentum on controller hiring—this is a meaningful step forward.

We appreciate the focus from @SecDuffy and the @FAANews on rebuilding the workforce.

As this work continues, it’s essential that staffing gains are paired with modernized technology, enforceable timelines, and full implementation of the @NTSB recommendations.

Safety is a system. Every piece matters.

[Capt. Jason Ambrosi @ALPAPresident]

The tragedy of 67 lives lost at DCA on January 29, 2025, and recent mid-air close calls make it clear that now is the time for Congress to enact the strongest possible pro-safety legislation to protect our nation's airspace. We owe it to these families to get this right.

[Matt Collins @MattCollins5342]

Not only the @famofflight5342 but also we need this right for the pilots. These are the people we should be listening too. The ones that have the responsibility to get our families and friends to their destinations safely.

[Jennifer Homendy @JenniferHomendy]

I want to extend our sincere gratitude to @RepSamGraves and @RepRickLarsen for their leadership on #aviation #safety and for working with us on the ALERT Act.

For the first time in history, Congress is advancing legislation that comprehensively addresses all @NTSB recommendations issued following a major aviation disaster. This unprecedented, bipartisan commitment from both the Senate, led by @SenTedCruz and @SenatorCantwell, and the House underscores a shared determination to ensure such a tragedy never occurs again and to safeguard lives across the National Airspace System.

We stand ready to support @SenateCommerce, @commercedems, @TransportGOP, and @TransportDems as they deliberate on the ROTOR and ALERT Acts and work to deliver a final bill to the President for consideration.

On January 27, 2026, we adopted 50 safety recommendations which, once fully implemented, will save lives. To prevent another midair collision, it is imperative that the final legislation include the best of both bills and all 50 recommendations in their entirety.

As I have long emphasized, NTSB investigations represent only the first step toward progress. True safety change comes through the full implementation of our safety recommendations. Seventeen years after the Colgan accident, many remain unfulfilled—a reality that is simply unacceptable.

[Doug Lane @dlane]

I would love for @RepSamGraves or someone on his team to explain to me how, under the ALERT Act, a CRJ like the one my wife and son died on gets equipped with ACAS-Xa by 2031. It doesn’t. This bill was designed to fail.

[Matt Collins @MattCollins5342]

My biggest fear with the ALERT Act as currently written is nothing substantial will happen for years and years. Amendments could have changed that. The only shot of that will be at conference now. This was one of @RepSamGraves last pieces of legislation before retirement and to me it’s a huge letdown

[Jennifer Homendy @JenniferHomendy]

Happy 59th birthday to @NTSB!

Thank you to all NTSBers - past and present - for your support of our critical #safety mission!

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

The ALERT Act that passed through House committees makes progress to address the NTSB's recommendations. But our work is far from done.

Any legislation that becomes law must include a strong ADS-B In mandate with enforceable deadlines.

The Families of Flight 5342 deserve nothing less.

[Olivia Rinaldi @olivialarinaldi]

The families of AA 5342 commend the changes made to the ALERT Act but stop short of a full endorsement:

Our statement regarding the ALERT Act. @WhiteHouse @TransportGOP @TransportDems @HASCRepublicans @HASCDemocrats

[Doug Lane @dlane]

Whether you are for or against the Iran war, can you imagine how you would feel if the folks who flew a helicopter into your wife and son said adding ADS-B In to military aircraft would create “unresolved budgetary burdens” and then asked for this? I don’t need to imagine.
