Thank you @RepDavids for visiting KC Air Route Traffic Control Center with @PASSprezdc Spero. Technicians we represent @FAANews ensure functionality of communications, computers, nav aids, power systems vital to safe air travel & mission of pilots & controllers. #publicservice
Air traffic controllers keep our skies safe every day — but they’re understaffed and stretched too thin.
We can't wait to modernize our aviation systems and fully staff control centers. @PASSNational and I are pushing for the resources needed to protect travelers in Kansas and across the country.

.@PASSprezdc on probationary workers reinstated: "Although termination emails indicated they were being let go for performance reasons, we learned from supervisors this could not be further from the truth." Let them continue their service to flying public. bit.ly/42aHA5Q

Thank you @GerryConnolly for being a champion of federal workforce. Dedicated civil servants are under attack, their work for American people being demeaned. @PASSprezdc Dave Spero proud to stand with you to combat these relentless assaults. #federalemployees #publicservice

Thank you @NTEUnews President Greenwald for inviting @PASSprezdc to speak at rally today. Neither the rain nor DOGE will keep federal unions from speaking out against the chaos being inflicted upon the dedicated public servants who work for the American people. #publicservice

Firing federal workers at @FAANews puts public at risk. "All parts of aviation ecosystem work together to accomplish a critical goal—the safety of the American flying public" @PASSprezdc to Congress. #aviationsafety #publicservice #federalemployees

On @CNN @PASSprezdc Spero talked safety critical jobs @FAANews represented by PASS & the PEOPLE! "It seems to be a pattern of cyberbullying—let’s call it that. Folks are rattled, they are shaken. Instead of concentrating on their jobs, it's chaos & panic"

The entire airline industry - airlines, airports, manufacturers, general aviation, unions - penned a letter to lawmakers on the operational safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System, and affirmed alignment “on not pursuing privatization of U.S. air traffic control”
Dave Spero retweeted
The FAA and its employees are responsible for keeping us safe while in the air. Firing FAA workers without a plan is dangerous and does nothing to improve Americans’ trust in air travel.
"Several hundred" Federal Aviation Administration employees have received termination notices, according to their union and another source inside the FAA. abcnews.link/MyDtcD0

President, Professional Aviation Safety Specialists Union David Spero on FAA layoffs: “Friday, about 300 folks, 400 people got the axe… We not didn't get any notice from the FAA… It could be way more than 350… All we’re getting is our members reaching out and saying ‘I lost my job.’”

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Dozens of passengers walked away from Flight 4819 without injury thanks to the professionalism and preparation of the @ALPAPilots and @afa_cwa crew. It’s a testament to their training, and it made a difference today in Toronto. (1/2)
