Air traffic controllers no longer able to perform their highly specialized duties must be removed in the interest of aviation safety. Because few employment opportunities exist outside the Government for controllers' skills, the Congress established a second-career training program in 1972 for controllers so removed by the Federal Aviation Administration. Few air traffic controllers eligible for this training program have used it to train and enter second careers. Instead, they have used other Federal programs providing long-term income and training benefits. These and other measures available to the Administration can effectively protect the economic livelihood of controllers. The Congress should discontinue the Second Career Program.
