FAA Awards $10K Bonuses To 776 Workers
2 weeks ago
The Federal Aviation Administration says only 776 of nearly 20,000 air traffic controllers and technicians who worked without pay during the government shutdown will receive $10,000 bonuses.
The announcement Thursday means thousands of workers who missed shifts will not get the bonuses President Donald Trump had suggested.
Many employees called out due to financial pressures, including child care and transportation costs. Absences caused major delays at airports nationwide and forced flight cuts at 40 of the busiest U.S. airports.
