.TedCruz said travelers stranded at airports during this busy season can thank SenSchumer for their travel woes. Schumer and other Democrats successfully lobbied against proposed changes to redesign the airspace in the busiest corridor of the country.
The New York senator and other members of his delegation successfully lobbied against proposed changes to redesign the airspace in the busiest corridor of the country.The proposal would have also relocated about 30 New York-based employees for two years to Philadelphia to train controllers in training.
Schumer actively lobbied against the move, saying this spring the change would go against the agency’s promise to keep TRACON employees on Long Island while they restructured staffing and the airspace operations of Newark. According to reporting from News 12 Long Island, the FAA said they agreed with Schumer and rescinded the transfer letters.
“Unfortunately, parochial interests are being put above the efficiency of America’s national air space and flying public’s experience. Ironically, this hurts New Yorkers the most,” Cruz, the ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee, added. “The NY/NJ airspace, in particular, is understaffed. N90, which manages all the New York EWR airports, is also probably the most technically challenging job anywhere in the world of aviation which means that experience also makes a difference,” Kirby wrote.
