Donald Trump has snubbed thousands of air traffic controllers and technicians who kept the skies safe during the longest government shutdown in history, union officials told Axios.
Only 776, or seven percent, of the roughly 11,000 air traffic controllers and technicians who worked through the 43-day government shutdown will get a $10,000 bonus.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy described the “perfect attendance” bonus on X as a Santa moment, apparently ignoring that most workers were gift-less.
Private jets will get safety and security in the sky while you’ll have to pay more for a secure flight on a full price flight company or you can risk yourself and your family on a budget flight company that may or may not be paying private air traffic control companies for safe Air traffic zones.
