Delta CEO Ed Bastian leaves CBS's Gayle King in a state of shock after he defends the Trump administration's planned changes to the FAA:

"The cuts do not affect us. I've been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation. I understand that the, the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions, but the reality is there's over XXXXXX people that work at the FAA. And the cuts, I understand, were XXX people, and they were in non-critical safety functions.

The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies that are used in the air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies. They've committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators, and safety and investigators. So no, I'm not concerned with that at all."
