Description

Nancy A. Boardman. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for managing the nation’s air transportation system so more than 18,000 aircraft can annually carry 500 million passengers safely & on schedule. Because of significant hiring in the early 1980s to replace strikers who had been fired, many of FAAs more than 17,000 air traffic controllers may become eligible to retire within the next decade, raising concerns that the FAA could be left with too few fully trained controllers. This report discusses the results of a review of the FAAs efforts to address short- & long-term controller staffing needs. Charts & tables.
