The last thing our National Airspace System needs is a cynical FAA Administrator so hellbent on stretching them thinner that he is willing to withhold their modest 2.8 percent pay raise.
In the months ahead, we must ensure these workers receive the support and resources they need to reenter the workforce and recover.
The closing of the Tyson plant in Joslin left a ripple effect across our community, shutting down a key part of the local manufacturing industry, putting skilled workers out of a job and impacting families who already feel underwater.
Squeezing more ‘utilization’ out of air traffic controllers who have been understaffed, underpaid and overworked for years will weaken retention and undermine aviation safety.
