      Short version: he might have frozen hiring air traffic controllers, he might not have. The ambiguity caused de facto hiring freezes in a profession that was already understaffed and vital to air safety.

        It’s causing fear and disruption throughout the “background” technical fields as well. Technicians and engineers are also very understaffed which makes responding to issues very difficult. Add to that a large part of the workforce being at retirement age and having issues trying to hire more and it’s a big worry. Not saying things are dangerous just yet, but as time goes on and the new administration has more time to meddle it’s more and more likely they will break something.
