    If it saves a single human life, we need to keep those planes grounded indefinitely.

            anything but normal.

                  Two thoughts:

                  Any chance it’s a hack?

                  Imagine being a poor southwest passenger from December who was finally leaving on his rebooked flight today…

                  Only non-witches get due process.

                    Of course, FAA is saying it's not. Of course.

                    Perhaps the cause is a bit more mundane:

                              @George-K, the timeline doesn't work. The last FAA chief resigned in March 2022. The picture you posted of Schumer praying was taken in June 2020.

                                @Axtremus thanks for the timeline. The photo was tended as an illustration, not history. Since Schumer has a history of devoted prayer, and I have no reason to think that this was a political stunt, I can only assume that he has continued his reverent tradition.
