Sec. Sean Duffy gives update on air travel | LiveNOW from FOX

Published | Video Starts at 14:08

I'm supercharging our air traffic control school, our academy, getting more young people to come in from the time they apply to the time they get into the Academy. I've truncated that. I'm paying them a bonus to come to the Academy. We've kept paying the students at the academy a stipend to make sure the Academy is still operational. We've done all those things, but we've seen that young people have been less willing to be air traffic controllers when they see they may not be paid. That's a problem. (14:08–14:17)
