FAA gives $10,000 bonuses to controllers and technicians with perfect attendance during shutdown

The controllers union said they hope to work with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to find a way to recognize all the other air traffic controllers who worked during the shutdown.

Only 776 air traffic controllers and technicians who had perfect attendance during the government shutdown will receive $10,000 bonuses while nearly 20,000 other workers will be left out, the Federal Aviation Administration announced Thursday.
