So, the 80 percent didn't help. It is not like it was only a 20 percent ground stop.

Congress has fully funded NOTAM modernization for more than 10 years.

Well, let me just underscore the urgency of preventing that sort of incident from happening again.

I know Texans and Americans across this country are deeply concerned about these near misses.

If you are sitting in that Southwest flight, you knew how close you came to having a plane land on top of you, killing every person on that plane, you would understandably be horrified.

I think you are going to see, as you have seen, bipartisan interest in assisting the FAA in ensuring redundancy so that we don't see air traffic grounded again.

The ground stop was because America was under attack. But this time, this ground stop was the result of the Federal agency's inability to modernize.

This Administration's desire to signal its virtue seems to know no limits.

This kind of failure is hard to excuse.

I have to say I am disappointed by the absence of a Senate confirmed witness like Secretary Buttigieg.

Secretary Buttigieg, in my view, instead of engaging in politics, should be focused on the job he has now.

How did air traffic control direct one plane onto the runway to take off and another plane to land, and have them both within 100 feet of each other?
