Significant understaffing of air traffic controllers has been a contributing factor in the close calls. “We need to make sure of course that as that system comes back to that high level of demand there is no negative safety impact to that.” The memo notes simulator training for controllers was “last updated in 2016.” “Our dedication to continuous improvement demands that we dig deep to identify the underlying factors and address them,” Arel said.
