Trump...just STFU...

We don't not know it wasn't the ATC's fault.

I spoke to the head of a regional Iowa airport very recently. Post DC crash. We were meeting officially on an issue not related to ATC.

A collegue asked him point blank about ATC staffing locally and he said it is an issue. They cannot staff as well as they should nationwide and that the issue is worse other places than it is for us as a lower traffic airport.

If you do any reading at all about this issue, there is plenty of reason to suggest that ATC and the FAA have NOT been able to staff and recruit as they should be. More to come I suspect. Much has been made of a pretest that the Obama admin created to increase diversity that decreased applicant acceptance. You can choose to ignore this or not. If this is true, this affects safety without question.

You are a idiot and a deplorable.

Trump spoke out his ass to feed the hatred of his most vile followers, and people like you will defend him to the end of the earth.

Because you are a bad person.

The questionnaire was removed from the air traffic controller hiring process in 2018. Additionally can you support the argument that fewer applicants are being accepted. The claim that I have seen is that minority candidates were given preference over white men essentially. But this is a different claim than the acceptance or number of candidates declined. Air traffic controllers would argue that they have had a shortage since the 80s.

Just curious…what’s the typical salary of an air traffic controller? I suppose it depends if they work at a smaller, regional airport vs a large metro airport.

Looks like the median is around 140K.

Also of note about a 3rd of candidates wash out

Why was that?

Trump has never once taken an opportunity to unite Americans. Every single thing is an opportunity to leverage grievances and create anger and division. He feeds off of it.
