Description: Operating the national airspace system involves managing a myriad of complexities from radar to regulations, from technology to takeoffs. The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) air traffic control workforce is a key element that makes the system go. Over the next 10 years, 73 percent of the agency's nearly 15,000 controllers will become eligible to retire. Total losses over the next 10 years are expected to be over 11,000. This report is a blueprint that contemplates both retirements and appropriate staffing levels. Congress enacted Vision 100, the agency's four-year reauthorization, in 2003. Vision 100 required that a plan to ensure adequate staffing for air traffic control be completed by December 2004. This plan outlines the agency's plan to hire, staff, and train controllers as well as details efficiencies from cost savings to productivity improvements that will enable the agency to reduce our staffing requirements by 10 percent from existing requirements despite expected traffic growth.
Notes: "December 2004."
