F.A.A. to Drop Donald Trump-Related Navigation Codes
Three navigation coordination points above Palm Beach International Airport that had been named in honor of Donald J. Trump will be renamed, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday. In 2010, an air traffic controller who was a fan of Mr. Trump’s reality show and its catchphrase, “You’re fired,” named some of the navigation points that pilots use for takeoff from the airport DONLD, TRMMP and UFIRD.

This is just stupid... I think the FAA is just trying to get in the news... Who cares what they call a way point or intersection... GEEZ... 99.9% of the people don't understand it even have the news explained it and they don't understand what they just said...
In one of their lame arguments, and I think it was in this story, or another link somewhere, that they said they had some objections by pilots on those departure/approach clearances.
We Americans just aren't happy unless we are complaining about something...
See John Donaldson's comment right below ya here.
An order from the Assistant Deputy Associate Secretary of Pettiness and Political Correctness I would assume. Trump certainly has gotten under their skins which in itself is delightful to watch.
Politicians just cannot stand the truth. Wonder what the dollar value is on all this? New charts -- agree with your comment, John.
Loral: These people never worry about cost when they can pass it on to us while congratulating themselves, but I bet it is substantial. It is so pointless anyway for it is not like these waypoints are daily fare for the average joe and even the users would not necessarily associate them with Trump.
They want to make sure some PC yo yo don't bring it up and throw it in their face
Oh the joys of the election campaign road. Of all the real issues this country has, time could have been better spent in many different ways. Can't wait to hear Donald's next rant. Wonder what fires he has smoldering in the background for future fireworks.
Saw him from Freedom Fest in Vegas this afternoon or at least part and he is still partially on the Mexican government. CNN still trying to figure out why he is polling so high. LOL
He and Sheriff Joe today...people are scalping tickets that were free for $50...planned for 1000 but sold out in minutes, moved to Convention Center with 5000 gone within the hours and now they think 8000 are going to show up. It should be fun to watch.
Yeah, he left Vegas heading for Phoenix. If he goes strong there he is apt to be #1 in the polls instead of #2.

Trump as Pres and Sheriff Joe as Sec of State -- wouldn't that be an interesting combo!!!
Then they could appoint Sylvester Stallone (Rambo) head of DOD. Now..that's a trio. 8-)
Yes, as interesting as Jim Carrey and jeff daniels in dum and dumber
