Some FAA workers had direct roles in supporting safety inspectors and airport operations, union says.

FAA says no one with a “critical safety” position has been fired.

Loss of those personnel “is going to have long-term safety implications — just work that simply can’t be done,” former employee says.

Trump has implemented sweeping changes in the first weeks of his second administration.

The rapid firings across the government have caught leaders at some agencies off guard.

In some cases, the firings generated immediate backlash and staffers were directed to return to work, including at the National Nuclear Security Administration , which is responsible for nuclear warheads.
