Here's a report the Dept of Transportation released a couple months ago: https://www.oig.dot.gov/library-item/39530 https://www.oig.dot.gov/library-item/39530 I haven't read it in full yet, the "What We Found" section seems to focus on training being paused during covid and a general lack of organization-wide tools and visibility around staffing. I found that from this Forbes article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2023/06/26/faa-lacks-a-plan-for-air-traffic-control-shortage-per-government-report/?sh=4d90b95d3a26 https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2023/06/26... The Forbes article suggests the problem began with the 2013 federal budget fight and resulting sequestration, which cut some programs and eliminated others.
