I feel like Dubya might be the right Drumpf translator. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 10, 12:37
He's actually talking partly about stuff my company does. -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 11:28 3
- That's great! Now I have a friend who can fill me in on all this! -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 11:41 2
  - Heh. I don't speak Trumpian, but I do get his point about updating the outdated infrastructure and equipment of the airports\airplanes. -- nm* - Inigo Feb 10, 12:12
  - Right? I was like "tell us more. tell us everything." -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 11:50
Also, remember Trump owned an airline for a few years, so he probably fashions himself an expert. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 11:28
My guess is the airport and security infrastructure needed to move two million people a day through airports. -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 11:21 4
- Well one thing is for sure. Nobody, and I mean nobody, would know more about that his personal pilot. -- nm - pmb Feb 10, 11:24 3
  - (ugh, can't believe I am doing this, but) If he was talking about ATC and such, his pilot would be acutely aware -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 10, 11:26 2
    - To a degree. But less so when you're talking about overall security infrastructure. - pmb Feb 10, 11:28 1
      - oh certainly true -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 11:31
The best guesses (and I think they are sound) is that he's talking about infrastructure that support Air Traffic Control, radar, etc -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 10, 11:20 4
- This. From what I've seen its the ATC he's talking about. -- nm - iSpam Feb 10, 11:30
- From what I understand of our ATC systems, they certainly are a bit dated and could use upgrades - ty97 Feb 10, 11:21 2
  - there was a plan in place to upgrade all the equipment by 2020, but I have no idea where it stands....it was supposed to save up to 5% of fuel - crash davis Feb 10, 12:13 1
    - I know there's something going on at LGA this year and after the update is done, Delta will no longer be able to fly their MD-88's there - ty97 Feb 10, 12:15
