THE US Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees, according to the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) union, reports BBC News.
Several hundreds of the agency's probationary workers - who have generally been in their positions for less than a year - received the news via email late on Friday night, a statement from PASS's head, Alex Spero said.
It is a part of a cost-cutting drive, driven by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), that aims to drastically cut the federal workforce.Mr Spero called the firings "shameful" and said they "will increase the workload and place new responsibilities on a workforce that is already stretched thin".
