美国空中交通管制系统已不堪重负。许多管制员被迫加班、每周工作六天,而联邦航空管理局的空中交通管制培训学院在留住学员方面也面临严重问题。

空中交通管制员的工作量也在增加。美国政府审计机构政府问责局的数据显示,2015年至2024年间,使用该空中交通管制系统的航班总量增长了约10%,达到3080万架次。

达菲表示,特朗普政府尤其专注于从电子游戏玩家中招募空中交通管制岗位人员。他称其团队对一批现任管制员进行了调查,发现他们中的大多数人都玩电子游戏,这促使交通部从这一“群体”中进行招聘。

WASHINGTON, April 17 (Reuters) – The U.S. ​Federal Aviation Administration received 6,000 applications ​for air traffic control roles in the last 12 hours, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on ​Friday.

The FAA opened applications for air ​traffic controller positions overnight, Duffy said ⁠at the Semafor World Economy gathering in Washington.

The ​U.S. air traffic control system in the ​U.S. is stretched thin. Many controllers are working mandatory overtime and six-day weeks and the FAA’s air ​traffic control training academy faces serious ​issues with retaining students.

The workload for air traffic controllers ‌is ⁠also growing. Between 2015 and 2024, total flights using the air traffic control system increased by about 10% to 30.8 million, ​according to ​the Government Accountability ⁠Office, the U.S. government’s auditor.

The Trump administration is especially focused on recruiting ​video gamers for air traffic ​control ⁠positions, Duffy said. He said his team surveyed a group of current controllers and learned that ⁠most ​of them play video ​games, prompting the department to recruit from that “community,” he ​said.
