Trump is attacking our democracy and breaking the systems that keep us safe. Boycott U.S. air travel until Congress fires him.

-This dropoff in tourism is hurting the airlines.
-Air travel drives 5% of US GDP.
-A *domestic* flying boycott could now change the game. The economy couldn't handle it any more than it could handle Trump's wildest tariffs.
We'll keep saying this as long as it takes for folks to see the potential.

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.

According to Jeffrey Epstein himself, Trump spent hours at his house with an underage girl—and knew about Epstein’s trafficking of young girls.
I don’t know, seems impeachable.

Sure, why not call air traffic controllers shitty people as you make their jobs a living hell? What could go wrong?

Listen to this BS from Duffy. (Whose aviation-world experience = zero.)
I know 1000 times as many controllers as he's ever met. OK, maybe only 100 times as many.
This is offensive beyond belief.

Everyone please drive or train it, just don't travel by air. We need millions to boycott to get some power back.

I think it would be a small sacrifice if everyone in the country would stay off of flights this holiday season and either stay home or drive to where you are going, if you can. Let's not hand them a lucrative end to their business cycle after this.

The airlines and ATC is what stopped the last Felon’s/GOP shutdown. Not this time. Airlines have aligned themselves with this incompetent administration. I like it when they show me directly who to boycott

I hope they (don’t) enjoy their blood money.
Also, as many in the comments are saying: it’s up to us to boycott the airlines now.

If it’s inconvenience they respond to, it’s inconvenience we should give them.
We can boycott the airline industry that helped screw us over, force route closures (as happened when tons of Canadians stopped flying here)…and force political change.
Or are we too attached to convenience ourselves?

I bet these fucks were mildly inconvenienced at an airport and are now like, welp, time to kill a bunch of people via healthcare withholding so I can hop back on my charter!

We’d support this 100% but it raises a related question—
Why don’t we boycott air travel en masse, until these workers are paid and the Exploiter-in-Chief leaves power?

Why don't all air traffic controllers just walk off the job en masse, demanding better pay and working conditions?
There will never be a better time to do it, since they're not getting paid anyway.

I bet the airlines lobbied hard. It's all about making sure money flows to the top.
Plausible if airlines lobbied behind the scenes. ATC is crumbling, half of flights are delayed or cancelled, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. 🧐

They didn’t fold, they sold out. They didn‘t back down, they collaborated with fascists. The distinction matters because we need to see the goal now isn‘t “stiffening their spines”—a billion phone calls won’t do that. The goal is creating so many problems for them, they don’t dare sell us out again.

It's obviously not working for millions of us just to react to the problems a few hundred officials create for us.
We have to create problems for THEM. That's what will force them to do their jobs—or leave power, whichever we demand.
