US EditionTransport Sec Sean Duffy shifts blame for recent air disasters onto Pete Buttigieg
- Transport Secretary Sean Duffy criticized former Secretary Pete Buttigieg for not addressing air traffic control issues during his tenure, claiming he failed to remedy the air traffic controller shortage and modernize the system, which is outdated since World War II.
- Duffy stated that less than 400 employees were let go from the FAA, emphasizing that zero air traffic controllers or critical safety personnel were affected by recent staffing changes.
- Critics have said that Buttigieg's management reflected a failure in transportation infrastructure and safety, as 77% of critical air traffic control facilities were reportedly understaffed by his second year in office.
- Critics argue that Buttigieg was absent during key crises, including delayed responses to a train derailment and negotiations that almost led to a rail worker strike.
