Keeps air traffic controller training open and staff working during government shutdowns
This bill would make sure that air traffic controller training at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Academy continues even if the government shuts down. It would also protect the employees and student-employees at the Academy from being furloughed, ensuring their training and work are not interrupted.
Currently, government shutdowns can stop air traffic controller training at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Academy and furlough its employees and student-employees. If this bill becomes law, the Academy would stay open, and its staff and student-employees would continue their work and training without interruption during a shutdown.
