.The FAA ✈️ is streamlining the hiring process and training air traffic controllers quickly. America has the best airspace in the world, and we’re making sure we have the best and brightest to staff our towers. Watch⬇️

Streamlining air traffic controller hiring? About time. The FAA's "supercharged" process shaved 5 months off bureaucratic sludge - that's real efficiency. 8,320 candidates already in the pipeline with 30% higher starting salaries shows merit-based hiring works when D.C. cuts red tape. But let's not pop champagne yet: $160k average controller pay proves taxpayer dollars flow where they’re needed, yet we’ve still got 313 understaffed facilities. This isn’t victory—it’s basic competence finally arriving after decades of neglect. The real test? Whether these "best and brightest" get trapped in the same old union work rules that caused the staffing crisis. Modernize the system, not just the hiring.

@FAANews @SarahEalegre @FoxNews TBH not sure "quickly training" is correct terminology for someone to jump-in and operate an air traffic control tower.

@FAANews @SarahEalegre @FoxNews It would be great if they spoke clear English. My last flight I couldn't understand any of the crew and it was a US domestic flight. 😏

@FAANews @SarahEalegre @FoxNews Tell me, how many of the DOGE fired employees have returned? Do you regret allowing Elon Musk to make decisions on behalf of your department? Have you noticed a lack of qualified people wanting to work for you?

@FAANews @SarahEalegre @FoxNews Thank you!

@FAANews @SarahEalegre @FoxNews Awesome
