Summary: «The Trump administration fired hundreds of employees with the Federal Aviation Administration over the weekend, just weeks after a fatal crash over Washington, D.C. exposed understaffing at the agency.» ... «"This decision did not consider the staffing needs of the FAA, which is already challenged by understaffing," David Spero, the national president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, AFL-CIO, said in a statement. "Staffing decisions should be based on an individual agency's mission-critical needs. To do otherwise is dangerous when it comes to public safety. And it is especially unconscionable in the aftermath of three deadly aircraft accidents in the past month."»
