Anna Giaritelli: More Than 400 Air Traffic Controllers Complained About Focus on Infrastructure Over Staffing

RUSH EXCERPT:

GIARITELLI: “You know, I think Sean Duffy is taking the lead on all of this. When I interviewed FAA administrator Brian bedford in August, he was the one talking to me at their headquarters about the big rollout. They‘re doing 12 billion they got from the big, beautiful bill to overhaul this, this system and 10,000 ways, he said. We‘re going to need 30 billion more. And now tonight, it‘s magically gone up to 50 billion. And what the air traffic controllers over 400 reached out to me after that interview because they were so upset with the focus on infrastructure and not the controllers themselves. They‘re saying that we‘ve been left behind, that suicides among controllers are eight times the national average.”
