Why is everyone so obsessed with Trump on here?
All I can see across the forum is trump this, trump that.. Don't you realize the more you mention his name, the more power he accumulates? Maybe stop talking about him and he will go away.. Just my thoughts. -

I think the key takeaway is that they didn't exceed their multi-decade lifecycle in the past 120 days. -

Air traffic control in the United States
You should read this doc https://transportation.house.gov/uploadedfiles/03-04-2025_aviation_hearing_-_nick_daniels_-_testimony.pdf After reaching its hiring targets for air traffic controller trainees over three consecutive years, including increased targets of 1,500 and 1,800 respectively the past two fiscal years, the FAA is starting to make some progress. After a decade of steady losses, in FY 2023, the FAA netted 15 additional Certified Professional Controllers and 15 additional trainees. In FY 2024, the FAA netted an additional 140 CPCs and 189 trainees after accounting for attrition. Sustained maximum hiring for at least the next five years will help the FAA approach the proper staffing levels needed to meet all of its needs The FAA operates more than 300 air traffic control facilities of varying ages and conditions. The FAA’s 21 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs) located in the continental United States were built in the 1960s and are more than 60 years old. The FAA’s Terminal Radar Approach 4Control facilities (TRACONs) are, on average, more than 25 years old. In addition, the FAA has 132 combined TRACON/towers, which are, on average, approximately 35 years old. Finally, the FAA has an additional 131 stand-alone Towers which average more than 30 years old. Many FAA facilities have exceeded their expected lifecycles. Others have major systems that have exceeded their expected functional lifecycle such as roofs, windows, HVAC systems, plumbing, and elevators, which no longer perform their necessary functions. Some of these issues have led to periodic airspace shutdowns and many others have led to safety concerns for the workforce. When these major systems fail, or facilities have integrity problems, it can lead to increasing delays, which negatively affect the flying public and the economy. The FAA is addressing its aging infrastructure through a combination of realignments, sustaining and maintaining some facilities, and replacing a handful of others. However, that process has been slow and hampered by funding limitations. The FAA will need a substantially increased investment in its F&E budget to adequately maintain, let alone, replace its aging physical infrastructure.
