Because Biden, of course.
The facts are:
The recent outages at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in
late April and early May 2025 were primarily caused by
telecommunications and equipment failures at the Philadelphia Terminal
Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility, which manages EWR's
airspace. On April 28, 2025, a significant outage lasting 60 to 90
seconds disrupted radar and communication systems, leaving controllers
unable to see or communicate with aircraft. This was attributed to a
single, outdated copper wire shorting out equipment, highlighting the
lack of redundancy in the system. A similar 90-second outage occurred
on May 9, 2025, at around 3:55 a.m., again affecting radar displays
and communications due to a telecommunications failure.
Contributing factors included:
Aging Infrastructure: The air traffic control system relies on
obsolete technology, including copper wires and floppy disks, with a
single data feed lacking redundancy.
Staffing Shortages: The Philadelphia TRACON was already understaffed,
and after the April 28 outage, five controllers (20% of the staff)
took 45 days of trauma leave, exacerbating delays.
Runway Construction: Ongoing runway rehabilitation work reduced EWR’s capacity, compounding delays.
Weather: Low clouds and adverse weather in the New York area added to
the disruptions.
What did Obama do? Nothing
What did Biden do? Nothing.

A 20% up-front bonus will be offered to new air traffic controllers to
try to plug the gaps left by staff shortages, he added'

And all these problems are fixable by slashing FAA's budget?

Iow, rather than cut govt spending, Trump has increased it because now
he has to spend extra $ to recruit.

The Civil Service traded higher pay for stability. Don Jello
destroyed stability so he will have to pay more for the same people.
