On February 19, 2025, Daniel Greenfield reported on the media's portrayal of the Trump administration's firing of probationary FAA employees, claiming it threatened air safety.
• The FAA discharged 400 probationary employees, including environmental protection specialists and aviation safety assistants.
• None of those fired were air traffic controllers.
• Democrats and certain media sources attempted to connect these firings to recent aviation crashes, despite those incidents occurring prior to the layoffs.
• The claims that the firings jeopardized airline safety are unfounded.
• Greenfield suggests that mismanagement within the FAA under the Biden administration, marked by politicized hiring and neglect of safety, is more likely responsible for any aviation issues.
The attempt by the media to frame the firings of FAA employees as a threat to public safety is misleading and distracts from the real issues within the FAA's management under the current administration.
