This bill amends the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act to help military air traffic controllers transition into civilian jobs at the Federal Aviation Administration. Specifically, it requires a joint aviation employment training working group to develop recommendations for moving Department of Defense air traffic control specialists into FAA positions as controllers, managers, and supervisors. The bill also directs the working group to identify and address barriers that prevent the FAA from hiring these military specialists, including differences in training standards, terminology, technology systems, and credentials between military and civilian roles. The legislation affects military personnel with air traffic control experience who are leaving the armed forces and the FAA, which needs to fill vacant controller positions. There is no specific funding amount or implementation timeline included in the bill text.
