Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : The Department of Defense (DOD) is responsible for maintaining the hotline, as it allows controllers to collaborate, in addition to utilizing ordinary landline lines.
30% : Deputy Chief Operating Officer Franklin McIntosh stated that the new FAA employees, under the second Donald Trump administration, were not aware that the line was broken until an incident occurred where a helicopter circled the Pentagon and dangerously forced two flights to abort landings on May 1. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was the site of one of the most catastrophic airline disasters in U.S. history, occurring on January 29, when an American Airlines regional jet collided with an Army Blackhawk helicopter conducting a training mission.
