A rumor is circulating in traditional and
social media outlets stating JAX Center
located in Hilliard was closed due to an
organized walkout late Friday by controllers
in response to the FAA's mandate that all
employees get vaccinated for COVID...
A contact at FAA confirmed, they did have
some staffing issues at JAX center late
Friday, however those staffing issues were
due to the following:
• Normal approved leave
• Controllers who received either their
first or second dose of the vaccine and
by policy are required to stay at home
for (48) hours to self-monitor for side
effects...thus creating some staffing
issues
The FAA has multiple layers of operational
redundancy in place to ensure the stability
and reliable of the national airspace
system.......…..i.e. enroute air traffic control.
At no time was JAX operationally
compromised, nor were we required to
activate any irregular operational
contingency plans.
