Musk complains about a "shortage" of air traffic controllers weeks after offering them buyouts in January to get rid of them. This clueless offer was later rescinded, as air traffic controllers were deemed exempt from the "fork in the road" buyout program. . “There is a shortage of top-notch air traffic controllers,” Musk wrote on X. “If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.” Staffing shortages have plagued the FAA for years. But an uptick in aviation incidents in the past month, including a handful of plane crashes and close calls, has reignited concerns about employee workloads. A 2023 FAA workforce plan found that Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was short more than a third of the necessary number of air traffic control staffers, far from the only airport missing key controllers. Air traffic controllers are required to retire at age 56 by the Federal Aviation Administration. It's unclear whether they would be able to return to the job, which also requires passing annual medical examinations and vision tests. Why not 78 year old air traffic controllers?
