Mapping Every Understaffed Air Traffic Control Tower In The US

  Recently, there has been concern over staffing shortages at U. S. air traffic control towers, especially following a serious incident involving an American Airlines plane and a U. S. Army helicopter.

• The crash, which occurred earlier this year, was one of the deadliest air incidents in two decades.

• Air traffic control shortages were initially considered a factor, although later investigations found otherwise.

• Currently, 44% of FAA-regulated air traffic control towers are short-staffed, according to data from September 2023.

• Out of 290 FAA-operated towers, 128 are under the required staffing level. Rochester Tower in Minnesota is notably the most understaffed, with less than half the required controllers.

• A detailed list ranks all short-staffed towers by their level of staffing.

• Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities face similar staffing issues, but the staffing rates appear more optimistic when including partially certified controllers.

• The certification process for air traffic controllers takes about 2 to 3 years and has faced disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic.

• High employee attrition due to stress, long hours, and mandatory retirement at age 56 further complicates staffing issues.

The ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers has significant implications for aviation safety and operations, with current conditions pushing controllers into intensive work schedules, leading to increased burnout rates.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
