Summary

The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred FAA employees via emails, including workers in radar, landing, and navigational aid roles, as well as personnel in a classified early warning radar program for Hawaii.

The terminations occur just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision at Reagan Washington National Airport amid ongoing staffing shortages and safety concerns in air traffic control.

Some employees allege the firings were politically motivated and executed without following standard government protocols.

      This country is the worst. Buildings and monuments and other sites are named after traitors and those who try to run the government into the ground because we learn absolutely nothing.

      Did he? Never heard of it.

      I know Dulles and John Glenn and National and JFK. Can’t say I recall a “Reagan Airport”.
