NK1300 and AF1 had a bit of an "encounter" today-- ATC was reportedly yelling at NK1300 to get their attention to get them to alter course. Not sure it was a "close call" at all, but since AF1 involved.. I tend to believe the yelling part. Thanks to
@petchmo.bsky.social
for his help in..

Russia continues to celebrate the Putin-Trump call. Today’s Russian papers: “Trump’s stance couldn’t be more advantageous to Moscow.” “Trump is our ideological partner.” Another paper tells European leaders: “Just breathe in the smell of the new world order.”

An average of 10 of my Voice of America colleagues per day in the past week have been receiving letters informing them that their contracts will be terminated“for convenience.” As of today more than 50 of these outstanding VOA journalists on personal service contracts have been fired.

United CEO Scott Kirby is calling on the FAA to re-designate Newark as a Level 3, slot-controlled airport following the disruptions experienced there this week. Newark was slot-controlled until 2016; returning to slots would, by default, benefit the incumbent airline – United.

United CEO Scott Kirby has had enough of chronic EWR delays and operational meltdowns, calls for the FAA to reimpose Level 3 slot controls (that would obviously benefit United the most). This may also be the first official confirmation that *20% of FAA air traffic controllers for EWR rage quit.*
