We need the best and brightest in our airport towers. President Donald J. Trump & I are committed to getting them the innovative equipment worthy of the greatest country in the world. Air traffic control is a great career with great pay and you don't need a college degree to apply. And as we build our brand new air traffic control system, you have the opportunity to be leading the way into the golden age of air travel in America 🇺🇸 As part of National Air Traffic Control Day, I want to thank our controllers for keeping us all safe. If you're looking for an impactful career, consider joining our air traffic control workforce!

“We asked for gamers” to apply to be air traffic controllers, says Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. “If you think of gaming, they’re problem solving, they’re looking at multiple screens at one time… This is not a game... But the skills you develop as a gamer have a nice cross section with air traffic control. And so we hit up the gamers and we crushed the last record. We had 12,000 applicants in 24 hours.” Secretary Sean Duffy Mark Halperin 2WAY

Gamers might be the solution to the air traffic control labor shortage. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "We asked for gamers to apply, and some of your audience might go, 'Gamers? Why are you asking gamers?'" "We went to the academy. We just did a random sample. Out of 250 of our students we sampled, all of them but three are gamers." "If you think of gaming, they're problem solving. They're looking at multiple screens at one time. They're communicating all the skills. And again, we're safety driven. This is not a game, it's real life. But the skills you develop as a gamer."

Some of our air traffic control towers use radars from the 1960s and the operating system we use dates back to 1995 and 2000. We’re dealing with floppy discs and paper strips! The mess we inherited is insane. Technology has far exceeded what we have so U.S. Department of Transportation is upgrading our air traffic control with the most advanced system. Check out all the details in my interview with Miranda Devine on Pod Force One! ⬇️

🚨 The Biden Education Department spent $489,883,797 on race-based hiring grants. President Donald J. Trump’s administration launched the nation’s first Workforce Pell Grant program to fast-track students into electrician, carpenter, and other in-demand careers. What a DIFFERENCE! One funded woke ideology. The other is filling America’s workforce shortage.

.Secretary Sean Duffy on reforms being made to Air Traffic Control: "I have increased the pipeline of students coming into the academy— the best and the brightest, the highest scorers get in first— and then I'm asking current air traffic controllers, who have been on the job for 25 years to stay on the job. We're going to pay them a 20% bonus."

Understaffed air traffic control towers are a public safety issue in many parts of the country, but especially here in Austin. After years of sounding the alarms about Austin’s lack of air traffic controllers, we still have only half the number of certified workers that the FAA says we need. I am pleased that my repeated outcries about this have led to a record number of 31 controller trainees assigned to Austin. We just need more progress to avoid a catastrophe here.

Our air traffic controllers deserve the best technology in the world to safely manage our airspace. Under President Donald J. Trump, America will soon have a brand-new air traffic control system equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology to usher in a new age of aviation. Congress just delivered a $12.5 billion down payment on this signature initiative in the OBBB. We are just getting started! ✈️🇺🇸
