Flight attendants' union flags safety concerns over Trump's Washington arch

The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) has raised safety concerns regarding President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Union President Sara Nelson argues the structure poses a physical obstacle and criticizes plans to house military equipment like drones and snipers on the site. While the FAA previously stated the arch would not be a hazard if properly lit, other entities including veterans' groups and the National Park Service have voiced concerns regarding sightlines and historical preservation. Legal challenges have been filed asserting that the project requires Congressional approval.
