Saturday, March 22, 2025 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is showcasing the early outcomes of its latest air traffic controller hiring initiative. Thanks to U.S.
Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy’s efforts to accelerate the hiring process, the timeline has been reduced by five months. Since the most recent window closed on March 17, the FAA has qualified and referred over 8,320 candidates for the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA).
Of these, more than 190 candidates have successfully passed the ATSA and advanced to the next stage of the hiring process. “I’m thrilled to see that early results of air traffic controller hiring supercharge were so promising. By prioritizing a merit-based process, cutting red tape, and increasing starting salaries, we are bringing in the best and brightest across America to help keep our skies secure at record speeds,” said Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau.
