If they strike during a shutdown, what’s stopping them from bringing in private companies to replace the ATC workers? They’re literally taking money from billionaires to pay for some military shit and nothing is stopping them. I mean we’re so cooked.
that's essentially what Regan did back in the early 80s. used military controllers to replace the fired ones, decertified and dissolved the existing union. regardless of what the media and Duffy and the rest of the admin says, ATC are ultimately expendable in their eyes, even if it's too the detriment of everyone.
Theres not enough. And the harder they push those that are left the more likely they will leave too.
That’s where they are trying to use AI to replace ATC workers. It was on the news a while back that SpaceX was trying to win contracts in that space, but I could be misremembering.
good luck with that, where are they going to find ATCs in the wild. most of the pipeline is from government funded program from specific colleges/instituitions. its also super competitive too.
