[quote=Anonymous][quote] In the immediate aftermath, officials mentioned that short-staffed air traffic control towers may have played a role. This was later deemed not the cause, but air traffic control staffing shortages are plaguing 44% of all FAA regulated towers, latest data shows. We map out every single tower that is below the 2024-guideline staffing threshold (85%) per the latest available data current to September 2023, published by the FAA.[/quote] https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-every-understaffed-air-traffic-control-tower-in-the-u-s/ Well this is not comforting. I read another article talking about deferred maintenance, outdated technology, blackouts and a system designed in the 1970’s for 1/2 the number of flights. They are having problem getting parts for the old equipment.[/quote]
