Talking Fight.

The article focuses on the staffing problem with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) because of an impasse in negotiations between the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, and FAA management. The majority of its air traffic control workforce was hired in the early 1980s after former U.S. President Ronald Reagan fired 10,438 of them for striking. Now, 27 years later, these hires are set to retire and the FAA launched a number of initiatives to recruit and, in some cases, retain key staff in high-traffic areas. INSET: FAA survey reveals wide dissatisfaction.
