AI Summary:
“Just last week, Trump FIRED the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee,” one X post read. The Associated Press reported on January 21 that Trump fired those heads and removed all members of the committee. In his first week in office, Trump announced sweeping personnel changes, including a hiring freeze. “At this point, we don’t know enough,” a retired pilot says. It’s also unwise to speculate on causes so soon after a crash. The investigation into the collision will likely take months. In a January 20 executive order, Trump enacted a hiring freeze on civilian employees. Trump blamed FAA diversity and inclusion hiring policies for the January 29 crash. Cox said all pilots and air traffic controllers would have undergone training requirements. The New York Times reported on January 30 that staffing at the Reagan airport tower was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic” CNN reported that air traffic control stations were facing a shortage of 3,000 controllers. But this is unsubstantiated, and the White House told PolitiFact that no controllers had been fired.
