Dummy Duffy Clueless On Air Traffic Controller Exodus

Donald Trump's Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, said he didn't know how many air traffic controllers had left their jobs since January 2025.

Isn't air traffic control part of his job?!?

Since Trump took office, we've had a steep rise in airline disasters and near-disasters, and Sean Duffy has been out front screaming to the media that they need more air traffic controllers.

As the man leading the Transportation department it's his job to know facts and figures, especially when it comes to the FAA.

Congressman Hank Johnson from Georgia put Duffy on the spot.

JOHNSON: Can you tell this committee how many air traffic controllers have left the FAA since January 20th of 2025?

DUFFY: I don't.

JOHNSON: Please don't tell me you don't know.

DUFFY: Oh, I don't know, I don't, I don't know that, but what I can tell you is that.

JOHNSON: This is such an important job and such.

DUFFY: Well, Congressman, I would say that we have new controllers that come in every month and controllers are eligible for retirement.

JOHNSON: But are you trying to tell us that you don't know how many air traffic controllers are in the building and how many have left the building? How many are getting ready to come into the building?

DUFFY: They're not in the building, they're in towers.

Well, I'm just speaking figuratively.
