Those of us in / associated with the air traffic industry have known (FAA included) that staffing was going to be an issue, as early as 10 years ago.

So what happens when it becomes crunch time? The Agency and their anti-labor bullsh1t install a non-tract on it's employees and future employees.

Go figure. They want competent individuals to keep metal from touching. . .not for 40k a year, sorry.
