  1. He’s a liar and a loser! Fire this clown!

  2. Another disastrous hire by Joe Biden. Zero experience.

  3. Pete could not care less unless it affects the Hershey Interstate Highway.

  4. Questioning Pete is like asking CNN or mainstream media if the Border is open . Pete will hold airlines to the highest standards of the Democratic Party which is the PITS

  5. Lets not forgot how much Pete failed on this. In August, 38 state attorney generals contacted congress outraged that Buttigieg was ignoring complaints about airlines. They were so concerned they asked congress to strip the dept of transportation's oversight of customer complaints to airlines and award that duty to the states themselves because Pete's department wasn't responding.

    NY states attorney Letitia James, wrote to Buttigieg in August about concerns she had over increasing flight delays and cancellations over the past months, particularly over holiday weekends. Pete ignored all that and said in Sept that he believed things would be better by the holidays.

    He ignored the issues being brought to him and is now trying to right the ship after it ran aground.

    Pete Buttigieg is an incompetent moron and needs to be fired

  6. Four months before Southwest’s mass cancellation of flights, 38 state attorneys general wrote to congressional leaders declaring that Buttigieg’s agency “failed to respond and to provide appropriate recourse” to thousands of consumer complaints about airlines customer service.

  7. "We are going to hold them accountable"…… LOL…… like government being held accountable? ….. lol

  8. this is what happens when u promote someone smalltime, into the big time. Someone woefully out of his depth. Hold them accountable? My left nut!

  9. Hey, Pete… maybe while you're at it, tell local cops to stop trespassing people stranded at airports.

  10. it’s almost as if the US should have a functioning high speed rail like every other developed country

  11. Southwest Meltdown Recovery #Southwest #airlines #Buttigieg

    Connecting Frontline Employees' Suggestions For Improvement To Upper-level Management Initiatives, And Providing Shareholder Feedback In Real-time

    This presentation demonstrates one way of how to guide the development and implementation of top management's Vision, Goals and Strategies.

    This video describes the use of a best practice, management process reference model, to guide the development of strategic vision, goals, and strategies. It also shows screenshots of a management system self-appraisal portal, and related analytics dashboard, which can be shared in real-time with all stakeholders. The stakeholders could include a company's management, board members, shareholders, employees, and customers.

    I think that something like this should be considered by all government regulated industries as part of their Digital Transformation initiatives.

    End

  12. Remember when this guy got the job and immediately took a three month, taxpayer funded vacation called "paternity leave" during a transportation crisis?

  13. Sam Brinton got the wrong job from Biden. If he had Buttigieg’s job this and the lost luggage would have been sorted out days ago.

  14. Secretary Buttibutt. Would you expect anything different from this s..t that is spouted? Get a grip on reality people! Stop!! being gaslighted. When you are inconvenienced it becomes real. $ doesn’t make things better in the long run.

  15. This man doesn't have a clue what's really going on in America

  16. Another government incompetent makes lame excuses

  17. Government should do the same with the IRS when tax returns are late and when people can’t get a hold of a representative.

  18. As a devout Southwest Airlines flyer, with almost 400K Southwest points in my account, this both surprises me and worries me. Southwest has always been known for their punctuality and devotion to customer service, that's why I've loved them so much over the years. What's happening?!?! Maybe they expanded their flights to the Caribbean and Hawaii too quickly? I hope they stay in business, I'm so used to flying with them.

  19. He said nothing 😂😂😂

  20. Another one of the total incompetent members of the Biden administration…mayor Pete was MIA during the supply chain crisis (which still hasn't been totally resolved), was nowhere to be found during the rail union strike and now after giving Southwest $7 billion in COVID relief funds is going to claim this situation is "unacceptable". Pete you are the Transportation secretary, and you are "unacceptable"…this is ON YOU!!!!!

  21. He's totally unqualified for the job or any government job for that matter. Resign in shame

  22. Men don’t breastfeed ! Never did ! Never will 👈🏼🖕🏼👈🏼
