"Obviously, you’re relying on air traffic control," Sen. Duckworth noted #FAA officials, & air traffic controllers were among those who recd emails from #OPM to consider leaving their jobs. "[Letters were sent to] some air traffic controllers that R responsible for airspace in Northeast region..basically trying 2 scare them into quitting at a time when we have a shortage of air traffic controllers. Trump admin not in a strong position right now to start blaming others.” https://www.alternet.org/senator-trump-workers/
