are you seriously that misinformed or just that indoctrinated to think that morale does not matter, especially in a high stress job when the difference between success and failure is want to, let alone all the real damage being done yep, lights and systems out has nothign to do with decrease in employees ..nope, nothign at all. nope, not a cult what else do you a call a group of otherwise intelligent, rational people who refuse to acknowledge reality or use their own intelligence to honestly assess a situation because their leader will not acknowledge it nope, failures of systems has ABSOLUTELY ZERO to do with firing and demoralizing the very staff responsible for making sure it runs right do you seriously believe that trype or just trolling? power surge tripped breakers on systems and shut them down. Repair person, the very type fired, did not respond and reset breakers. proper construction management from proper staff accounts for what-ifs. Funny how all these power outages to other airports weren't happening before this dunce duffy took over and doge demoralized and fired so many How DOGE’s cutbacks at the FAA could affect aviation safety | PBS News Weekend Now there are some legal hang ups around the dismissal of the probationary employees, and we're seeing that play out in the courts. But it could be quite extensive, was what my reporting found. I was able to get a hold of some internal FAA data that showed that more than 1300 people at the agency replied to that offer of early retirement, with most of them quite interested in taking it. And that included some people in quite critical safety roles, aviation safety technicians, assistants, quality assurance specialists, engineers, and people who do a lot of the really important background work that helps those frontline safety workers do their jobs correctly and accurately.

The incident was blamed on an improperly-located antenna that was supposed to be tracking the helicopter.

as someone who researched what it took for my son to become a ATC, I can tell you that their process is archaic at best and almost seems designed to discourage Newark Airport's meltdown is just the tip of the iceberg But the issues at Newark aren’t Newark’s alone. Denver International Airport, for instance, experienced a similar 90-second air traffic control outage earlier this month. Across the country, the air traffic control system is crumbling due to antiquated infrastructure and chronic understaffing. The Federal Aviation Administration, which operates the world’s largest and most complex air traffic control system, needs to at long last fully staff, equip and fund that system. This long-standing problem dates back to when President Ronald Reagan fired thousands of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. Since then, air travel has tripled in the U.S., but staffing and modernization of systems have not kept pace.
