Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is apparently giving the boot to hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration employees, as reported by various sources and the FAA workers’ union. Over 300 FAA employees received termination notices over the weekend while fatal plane crashes continue to pile up under President Donald Trump’s administration. The fired workers include those responsible for FAA radar, landing, and navigational aid maintenance, as well as air traffic controllers.
The terminations are not just limited to new hires within the past year, but also include long-term employees who have recently been promoted. Air traffic controllers and other employees play a crucial role in the federal government, yet they are being shown the door.
It’s clear that staffing decisions should be made based on an agency’s mission-critical needs, especially when it comes to public safety. It’s quite alarming to see these actions being taken in the wake of three deadly aircraft accidents in recent months.
President Trump, who has seen more plane crashes in his first month in office than any other president, decided to take a “taxpayer-funded Daytona 500 joyride at he NASCAR race this weekend while he continues to slash the federal workforce. Because, you know, priorities.
