To laid off workers, trumps thumb is solidly on the scale that caused their job loss.

Remember, it was trump that decideded to personally ground the planes, and he never really lifted that order. He has been doing his typical extortion racket against the company, and won't let it go until they grovel and pay him off.

It wasn't the faa, it was trump personally. While it was the right thing to do, it was the wrong way to do it.

Workers throughout the country feeling this are not happy with him.
