Sooooo you are hiring back the people who were let go? And doing some strange victory dance about fixing your own fuck up?

We know .. Grok knows too. Shut down H1B immediately

@starstuded11 I thought the call to gamers was a good move. That’s a positive redirection for many young men.

You fkg fired them, Duffy Duck!!! Hope your son-in-law is doing well on OUR tax dime!!!

@FAANews And all it took was someone paying attention, doing the job, instead of trying to line their own pockets?

Utter BS @SecDuffy Literally, Fuck you! Lying sack of shit.

@suzost What you say @PeteButtigieg ? @SecDuffy is running circles around your failed attempt to do anything right. This is what leadership and competence looks like. Take note.

Its crazy that the #magaparty started out their time by forcing air traffic into early retirement & layoffs but now had to apparently scramble to hire more controllers. You created the problem & then wasted time fixing the problem you made.

Applications are easy. Becoming a certified controller? That’s the hard part. Let’s see how many of those 7,252 “qualified” actually end up in control towers.

@WhiteHouse Well when you lay off thousands and then more quit, yes, you have to hire.

Our nation's backbone is coming back with a ROAR!!! The heart of our republic is FINALLY being restored!

TRUMP IS A RAPIST PEDOPHILE, ROAD RASH Why don’t you & @RCamposDuffy care that Trump raped children, considering you created your own forced birth cult?

and @FAA_Bryan - Strong momentum on controller hiring—this is a meaningful step forward. We appreciate the focus from @SecDuffy and the @FAANews on rebuilding the workforce. As this work continues, it’s essential that staffing gains are paired with modernized technology, enforceable timelines, and full implementation of the @NTSB recommendations. Safety is a system. Every piece matters. #SaferSkiesForAll #AA5342

@yhalfkiwib Can we be assured each of those 7,252 qualified applicants qualify strictly on their merits as air traffic controller material and not on some insanely stupid and dangerous criteria such as skin color or sexual orientation or gender identification?

@CathyBrown380 When you take DEI out of the hiring process it’s amazing how energized the job market becomes

@RapidResponse47 Terrific news! Hoping and expecting significant improvements under Duffy. He’s doing all the right things despite difficult circumstances.

@MerryIsBack This is what happens when you cut out DEI and just hire the most qualified.

Duffy youre pure lying BS. This administration has nothing but incompetent rank amateurs in the cabinet and hes one. BTW, hiring incentives can reach 15K especially for hard to staff facilities Because of trump and DOGE - From Jan 29 2025

@c27553 🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬

Helps that unemployment is rising, especially among recent college graduates, right? Right? Anyone? Beuller?

@FAANews Whereas in Germany they are looking for women with average GPAs

@FAANews Seeing this administration work, I’m really worried about who/what they consider qualified for one of the most stressful and challenging jobs within our national airspace system. You can get millions of applicants, but if they wash out of OakCity…it doesn’t matter.

A really smart friend of my granddaughter’s could not get into medical school even though he is very qualified. He said he would look into being an air traffic controller. He trained for a year and got matched to CA. He left last werk and couldn’t be happier.

@WhiteHouse It’s because we have a lot of unemployed people. End OPT, end H1B, end all the fraudulent visas.

“But what will happen if we deport all these people?!” Gee, looks like Americans will step up and do the work. 🫡

That all sounds good until they realize the pay isn’t worth it 🤷‍♂️

Seems like the perfect application for AI.

Maybe? Don’t let all the trainees in #OKC Air Traffic Control Training Center next time…Jackass!

Translation: We fired them then realized how stupid we were and so we’re hiring them back.

Duffy, can you lie any fucking more?

@1Nicdar In my time more than 50% of those washed out of Oakcity, then 10% more would fail in the field. Not that this isn't a good start mind you. Once at your first facility you may be 2-3 years to FPL. We do have to start somewhere.

Hyderabad doesn't count. I know citizens of India seem to be the top of all hires in the US. This needs to be 100% US citizens hired for these jobs. ZERO visas!

"I fired a bunch of ATCs, then we had three commercial airline crashes (for the first time 1n 16 years). Now I want a pat on the back for hiring back ATCs."

They better be American citizens. I'm sick and tired of h-1b's and non-citizens getting our jobs particularly government jobs.
