Yes, he can. That’s literally his job. https://t.co/COjCEUXrys

The tweet from clown-ass motherfucker William Wittman is hilarious. Pete Buttigieg is the Secretary of Transportation. He is in fact the one person in the country with the ability to unilaterally regulate any airline that operates in the United States.
If he declared that all flight attendants all had to wear top hats and carry light sabers, tomorrow all flight attendants would be wearing top hats and carrying light sabers. And if he declared that Southwest Airlines was now under government control and would be run by said government till its shit got fixed, tomorrow Southwest would be under government control.
How do you become so clueless as William there? Just how? There shouldn’t be the word “wit” in William Wittman’s name anywhere, as he has none. None at all.
part of the problem here might be that some liberals may sincerely believe the Transportation Secretary’s only job is to do ribbon cutting ceremonies at train stations, and MSNBC and the NYT oped page won’t tell them that he’s actually the sole regulator of airlines

I really do think that’s true. The PMC libs can’t imagine anyone having actual power over a corporation. It is just beyond them altogether.
