Critics aghast as Trump official floats raising retirement age for air traffic controllers

Trump Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Wednesday horrified many observers when he floated raising the retirement age for air traffic controllers.

Duffy's remarks came during an appearance on Fox Business in which he wondered why air traffic controllers retired from their jobs after 25 years of service, and he suggested that America could fix its current shortage of ATCs by having them work longer.

"We have too many controllers that retire after 25 years of service," Duffy complained to Fox Business's Stuart Varney.
