"Rep. Hank Johnson Jr. asked Secretary Duffy, 'Can you tell this committee how many air traffic controllers have left the FAA since January 20, 2025?' Duffy's response, 'I don't know that,' indicated a troubling lack of awareness about critical staffing issues."
"'This is an important job,' Johnson emphasized, questioning Duffy's grasp on the situation. Duffy's reply, 'They're not in a building, they're in towers,' showcased his misunderstanding of the metaphorical language used."
During a congressional hearing, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy was unable to provide information on the number of air traffic controllers who left the FAA since January 2025. Rep.
