Air traffic controllers already work one of the most stressful jobs in America. And now their pay increase is being used as a bargaining chip by the Trump Administration.
Our air traffic controllers deserve better.

EXCLUSIVE — FAA Administrator faces backlash from overworked and understaffed air traffic controllers who still haven’t received a pay raise even though Congress gave FAA the money for it.
The head of the FAA tells me America’s air traffic controllers aren’t getting their retroactive pay raise because the agency wants “to unlock more productivity” from workers.
Meanwhile: Air travel is at its highest level in history. Air traffic control towers are using equipment from the 1980s and paper strips to track flights. There are far too few air traffic controllers. They often work 6 days. They work incredibly stressful jobs. They get blamed by airlines for delays that are, in fact, not their fault. Their union has not even commented to us, leaving them to advocate for themselves.

@EndWokeness Why is this even a headline? He’s human and is allowed to say No. Back up and get out my face. I’m not in the mood right now. We’ve all been there before. People love to make something controversial. 😂🤦🏾♂️
@BowensAvis@balleralert Yes we definitely do see it differently. I’ll pray for you. Words from a stranger should never make you want to lose your freedom, I don’t care how hurtful it is. The world would definitely be crazier than it already is if we attacked everyone who called us out of our name. 🤦🏾♂️
@BowensAvis@balleralert Now he’s out of a job with a felony on his record. I disagree. He did the right thing. We just had MLK day and your promoting violence? Sigh…🤦🏾♂️
@comolabrisaaa It depends on how they were presented to you. I’ve been with some women who I thought would be the perfect match for another friend long term. Yes her and I have history but her soulmate could be my friend respectfully.
Today's top story — As the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continues to deal with staffing issues on a nearly daily basis, the agency says it has received 57,956 applications for this year's 1,500 open air traffic controller positions.
