サマリー
あらすじ・解説
The episode explores a surge in aviation incidents, like the deadly D.C. crash and O’Hare near-miss, tying them to a strained air traffic control system. The FAA’s 3,500-controller shortage, worsened by outdated technology and recent government downsizing, is central. While DOGE’s cuts spared controllers, losing nearly 400 support staff—such as mapmakers and technicians—threatens safety indirectly. With fatigue rampant and hiring slow, the podcast questions if enough controllers remain to keep skies safe, spotlighting public fear, industry pleas for funding, and a shaky future amid Trump’s efficiency push.
