return all air traffic control and FAA personnel to work, insist cuts be made to non-personnel costs

Created by A.H. on April 23, 2013

The FAA has been unable to find non-personnel budget cuts, requiring all 47,000 employees to lose a day of work every other week. A federal review of the implications of this furlough and immediate action need to be taken, as lower staffing constraints will have widespread effects-immediately being seen with air traffic control and significant delays. The FAA must be forced to find other ways to cut costs, as the TSA and other agencies have been able to do so without forcing employees to work short staffed. Passenger safety has to be a the priority.
