Summary

Trump is firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees despite recent fatal air crashes, CNN reports.

The AFL-CIO says terminations were issued Friday, with affected staff possibly locked out of FAA facilities after Monday.

Aviation safety union PASS calls the cuts “dangerous,” especially after four deadly incidents in the past month.

Critics argue these moves risk public safety amid ongoing air traffic controller shortages.
