United by loss, driven by hope. We remember all those lost on Flight 5342. We are fighting for bipartisan aviation safety reform because we deserve #saferskiesforall
🔥 We LOVED this moment in today’s @USDOT budget hearing — a powerful exchange between @RepNormaTorres and @SecDuffy. 🇺🇸

In these divided times, #AviationSafetyReform isn’t partisan. It’s about #PublicSafety—for ALL Americans.

100 Days.
A National Failure.
A Family Mission.
When accountability fails, families are left to demand answers. The Families of Flight 5342 have released a Scorecard on their website evaluating the response-or lack thereof-from key agencies. www.flight5342.org @secduffy.bsky.social

Since Jan 29, 2025, when we lost our loved ones, the FAA’s broken safety culture has become impossible to ignore. Repeated failures. No accountability. Industry over lives. Are you concerned about aviation safety? You should be. Articles in comments. #SaferSkiesForAll #AA5342

It’s incredibly moving to see members of our Flight 5342 family turning grief into action. Every effort made toward ensuring #SaferSkiesForAll honors those lost and helps prevent future tragedies. If you want to help amplify our message, send us a message.

.@USDOT is partnering with the best minds in aviation to overhaul our antiquated air traffic control system to solve the problems our airports face NOW.

We’re working at the speed of business, not government, to deliver the best results for the American people.

I commit to being transparent, but we need Congress to commit to getting @USDOT the resources to make our roads, bridges, and airports faster, safer, and more efficient.

I fly commercial all the time. Our skies are safe. No one flies unless the system is safe.

I’m working with @POTUS to restore faith in American air travel.

Under this administration, we will prioritize safety at every step.

I want to echo @RepTroyNehls’ sentiment on Capitol Hill today. Updating our air traffic control system is a massive challenge, but with the help of Congress and the leadership of @POTUS, we will seize this unique opportunity and make our control towers the envy of the world.

My husband, Police Col. Pergentino ‘Bong’ Malabed Jr., was the only Filipino victim in the DC plane crash. He was a dedicated PNP officer. A loving husband & father, we were to celebrate our birthdays, anniversary & Valentine’s together. Now, February is a nightmare without him. #saferskiesforall 🇵🇭💔

Ang aking asawa, PCol. Pergentino ‘Bong’ Malabed Jr., ang nag-iisang Pilipinong biktima sa DC plane crash. Isang tapat na PNP officer, mapagmahal na asawa at ama. Dapat sana’y magkasama kaming magdiwang, pero ngayon, ang Pebrero ay isang bangungot nang wala siya. #saferskiesforall #aa5342 #PNPHero🇵🇭💔

Sam Lilley was known for his infectious smile, kind heart, sense of humor, and professionalism. He was said to have brought professionalism, dedication, and humanity to flying. He loved his fiancé Lydia dearly and was looking forward to marrying her this fall. #saferskiesforall #aa5342

Close calls like this are one of the many reasons we are asking you to write, call, comment your legislators to push for congressional hearings to improve and enact aviation safety reform. #saferskiesforall #AA5342 #neveragain
