The Federal Aviation Administration employs nearly 15,000 air traffic controllers, responsible for safely and efficiently guiding aircraft from takeoff to landing through the nations airspace and through oceanic airspace where the United States has jurisdiction. Over the next 10 years, fiscal year (FY) 2006 through FY 2015, approximately 70 percent of the agencys controller workforce will become eligible to retire. In addition to retirements, controllers are lost due to promotions, internal transfers, resignations, training failures, removal and death. Total losses over the next 10 years are expected to be approximately 10,300. In December 2004, the FAA published A Plan for the Future, The Federal Aviation Administrations 10-Year Strategy for the Air Traffic Control Workforce. This blueprint outlined the agencys plan to hire and train controllers. Additionally, the plan outlined FAA initiatives to achieve staff savings through workplace efficiencies and improved productivity, and initiatives to achieve cost savings. Because the plan relies on traffic projections, controller retirement and other loss projections, the FAA will be updating the plan annually to reflect the latest data in its controller-loss model and traffic forecasts and will be issued in April of each year. This is the first update report to the FAAs December 2004 plan.
