Austin – Employment issues in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) still cause some problems in Austin, according to the agency.
On Mother’s Day, Austin Bergstrom International Airport dealt with some delays to blame employment by the Federal Aviation Administration.
“I know this airport suffers from a lack of employees, and I can see it when I travel,” said Valnia Davalus, who was abandoning her mother at the airport on Monday.
Employment issues continue to leave some publications on the brink of the abyss, as it is a continuous problem, in some cases, on safety.
“We had a few of these calls close to the runway and things like this, and this makes the hair in the back of your neck stand a little,” said Sydney Malcolm.
The Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday that the operations returned to normal. But US Congress member Lloyd Dujgit, who is part of Austin, is still learning with these normal operations. He has called for more to address employment problems.
“The real danger is safety,” Dujet said. These are indications that it is not safe to fly, because yesterday [Sunday]We were short five air traffic control units. We don’t want to wait until there is a disaster here before we get the procedure we need. “
The feeling of urgency in Austin is increasing in what is happening at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Newark witnessed a shortage of FAA staff, even radar interruption, which led to cancellation and delay.
“We have to fix this, because what you see in Newark will happen elsewhere throughout the country.”
In an interview with Meet the Press Medataror Kristen Welker on Sunday, Duffy said they were looking for repairs.
“Congress has given me the power to extend retirement age for air traffic monitors from 56 to 61, but this is not the problem,” Dofi said. “I will give them [air traffic controllers] 20 % front bonus to stay in the job. Do not retire. Continue to serve your country. “
However, Doggett said he does not care about the problems that occur now and that need immediate repairs.
“For this reason, I was defending the strong support for the application that was provided last summer to give our air traffic monitors tool to monitor these things and continue to defend more air traffic monitors, because we do not want to wait until there is a disaster here before we get the procedure we need.”
