They hired the largest class of air traffic controllers in over a decade.

The cap on hiring is largely drawn ven by whether Congress will fund the positions.

There are many more applicants than spots. Somewhere around 10% of applicants are accepted. It is possible that they need to accept larger classes to account for the washouts or maybe they need more training staff.

They did not. Per the 2 news stories they hired roughly 2000. Barely enough to cover the one that retired and the ones that left due to stress.

Uh; he did.

The legislation passed included funding to build up ATC.

Why are Trump and Musk trying to reverse that and make it worse?

They did not. Per the 2 news stories they hired roughly 2000. Barely enough to cover the one that retired and the ones that left due to stress.

They did hire the largest class of air traffic controllers in the past decade.

"As the largest number of hires in nearly a decade, this marks important progress in the FAA’s work to reverse the decades-long air traffic controller staffing level decline."

It didn't cover the shortage. There has been a shortage since the 80s. Congress must appropriate the funds to hire air traffic controllers. They had 12000 applicants for 1800 spots and awarded 1811. It wasn't addressed Trump, Obama, Clinton, Regan etc.

Then you agree.

What you cannot seem to wrap your head around, is that DOGE, Elno and Trump are reversing it.
