So you think this makes the FAA safer than previously? The same amount? It certainly isn't safer from the quote below
Rolling Stone spoke with an FAA employee affected by the DOGE. The employee worked in airman certification, ensuring pilots are medically certified to fly — a critical role, given an existing pilot shortage. “We were already behind,” the employee said. “The pilots already complained that there’s a shortage in getting their medical certification [approved]. It’s just going to be put further behind now.” The employee said the FAA layoffs came as a surprise: “I don’t think we expected it to happen to us, especially with all the aviation crashes and things going on, all the safety issues that are already out there.”
