Federal Agency and Union Reach Workforce Agreement
The US Federal Aviation Administration and the union representing FAA air traffic controllers have reached an agreement on workforce changes, with a 2.8% pay increase the central element of the deal. The agreement comes as the FAA faces scrutiny over its air traffic management operations, including questions about staffing, technology, and oversight. The deal was reported by Bloomberg, and the FAA’s interest in taking an ownership stake in Air Space Intelligence, a technology company developing AI-supported air traffic management tools, was first reported by AeroTime.
