    Okay. I was waiting for confirmation of this. I doesn’t matter if the office says afterwards that “this offer didn’t apply to you”. This is still a credible threat from the Trump admin to force resignation, endangering aviation safety and safety of other industries which these federal agencies are meant to regulate.
