Air Traffic Control Workforce Transparency Act

Bill 118 s 1914, also known as the Air Traffic Control Workforce Transparency Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to increase transparency within the air traffic control workforce by requiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to report on various aspects of their workforce.

Specifically, the bill mandates that the FAA must provide an annual report to Congress that includes information on the demographics of the air traffic control workforce, including data on race, gender, and age. Additionally, the report must include information on the hiring and promotion practices of the FAA, as well as any efforts being made to increase diversity within the workforce.

The goal of this legislation is to ensure that the air traffic control workforce is diverse and inclusive, and that opportunities for advancement within the field are available to individuals of all backgrounds. By requiring the FAA to report on these aspects of their workforce, Congress hopes to hold the agency accountable for promoting diversity and transparency within the air traffic control industry. Overall, the Air Traffic Control Workforce Transparency Act aims to shed light on the current state of the air traffic control workforce and encourage efforts to promote diversity and inclusion within the industry.
