    When did it become the President's job to run the FAA, the DOT and the
    nation's airports? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Biden didn't say that.

    I just watched that report. Biden said the DOT secretary and FAA
    don't yet know (as of 2 days ago) what the cause of the problem was.
    It was sorted quickly and schedules resumed after just a few hours.

    But they do know now. "Corrupted file to blame for FAA aviation
    stoppage that delayed thousands of flights
    The system was restored after it halted all departures across the
    country. " https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/us-flights-grounded-faa-outage-rcna65243

    Iow, spending cuts forcing the FAA (among other agencies) to depend on
    outmoded hardware and software caused the problem.

    Btw, if they had not grounded that traffic and a plane had crashed,
    this wouldn't be a matter of whiny Republicans trying to find fault
    with what turned out to be a computer glitch, it would be a national
    scandal and heads would be rolling.
