Pete Buttigieg and the Holiday Airline Fiasco

Pete Buttigieg Ignored State Attorneys General Warnings on Holiday Airline Travel

There is so much incompetence in the Biden administration.

President Joe Biden’s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has ignored state attorneys general repeated requests to protect consumers and hold airlines accountable for canceling flights in the months leading up to the ongoing holiday travel fiasco.

This Christmas holiday travel season has been plagued with thousands of flight cancellations, primarily by Southwest Airlines, which failed to regain its footing after a massive winter storm hit the U.S.

Despite repeated requests from attorney generals and even Elizabeth Warren, Buttigieg’s Transportation Department failed to take meaningful action that would have prevented the ongoing holiday travel fiasco.

Instead, Buttigieg appeared on television in early September and claimed that airline travel “is going to get better by the holidays.” Buttigieg also told talk show host James Corden that the Transportation Department is “really pressing the airlines to deliver better service.”

Ler's go Brandon!

On Friday, when a Southwest Airlines pilot allegedly concluded an address to passengers with the words “Let’s go, Brandon,” a CNN analyst declared the pilot’s comments to that of an ISIS terrorist.

You have to listen closely--“Thanks for coming out and flying Southwest Airlines. Welcome aboard,” he said. “And remember,” he said softly, “Let’s go Brandon.”
