So now we open into individual responsibility vs collective responsibility, the FAA and NTSB are the regulation bodies to force airlines and airports to fix these issues, but that's big government regulation
Absolutely, something some people in the r/aviation megathread were discussing as well. Quite a few of them stated they hated takeoff/landing at DCA specifically because it's probably the busiest airspace in the world, and there is always military crafts in that airspace.
The big friction seems to be that there is a big military base right on the other side of the Potomac that has a lot of VIP air traffic as well as training flights in an overlapping corridor to the commercial flights. I'm not sure how the politics interplay between the military and the DCA authority there, but it can't have been easy to work ATC.
Again, that sub is always very informative. Helps alleviate my fear of flying quite a bit LOL.
Actually found the thread I was reading regarding what the opinion is on the FAA's role. Quite a few angry comments in there about how it's a systemic issue.
