Busy air traffic control facilities lack enough controllers

WASHINGTON — Thirteen of America's busiest air

traffic control facilities are suffering from a shortage of air

traffic controllers, a problem that demands urgent attention,

a government watchdog told lawmakers on Tuesday. The

facilities also are under stress because a large share of their

controllers are still being trained and are not yet competent

controllers also are eligible to retire, Hampton said.

Officials with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association,

the union representing controllers, also complained about the

difficulty in moving an experienced controller from a less-busy

workplace to a busy one. Managers are reluctant to let workers

go for fear they won't be readily replaceable, he said. And

employees may oppose moving to an area where the cost of
