Trump begins firings of FAA air traffic control staff just weeks after fatal DC plane crash

The Trump administration has initiated the firing of several hundred Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees, including radar, landing, and navigational aid maintenance personnel, just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January. This action disrupts staff during a busy travel weekend. The crash involved a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet, with the investigation ongoing. The firings coincide with ongoing concerns about FAA staffing shortages, attributed to issues like uncompetitive pay, long shifts, intensive training, and mandatory retirements.
