SENATOR BRAUN LEADS BILL TO MAXIMIZE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER HIRING

0

WASHINGTON— Yesterday, Senator Mike Braun introduced the bipartisan Air Traffic Controllers Hiring Act of 2023, aimed to require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct maximum hiring of air traffic controllers (ATC) at the FAA Academy. The maximum hiring of ATCs is equivalent to approximately 1,800 individuals at the Academy per year. Additionally, the bill text clarifies that max hiring is subject to the availability of appropriations and does not authorize specific funding levels.

Senator Braun is joined in the introduction of the bill by Senators Marshall (R-KS), Luján (D-NM), Shaheen (D-NH), Klobuchar (D-MN), and Boozman (R-AR).

“Air traffic controllers work around the clock to ensure that America’s aircrafts are taking off and landing safely and on time. At a time when air traffic controller workforce is below national standards, Congress needs to do its part to help alleviate employment shortages and make sure United States aviation operations are living up to America’s gold standard for air travel.” — Senator Braun

“Our air traffic controllers keep our skies safe for all, and it’s imperative that their workforce requirements are understood. Without them, we would not be equipped to maintain the ever-growing air travel in Kansas and across America. I’m proud to support this legislation that will provide Congress and the FAA a clear picture of our air traffic controllers’ needs, and better prepare us for the future.” — Senator Marshall

“Air travel helps connect our communities and boost local economies – none of which could be done without air traffic controllers working to ensure safe and reliable transportation. Air traffic controllers are vital to the flow of air travel, and with work shortages come significant impacts on travel. The Air Traffic Controllers Hiring Act will help increase the workforce and support our state’s airports to operate at their fullest potential.” — Senator Luján

“The FAA must elevate its hiring practices to alleviate the shortfall of air traffic controllers. This legislation will strengthen the pipeline of FAA’s workforce and support the vibrant airline industry so passengers can reliably reach their destinations in a timely manner.” — Senator Boozman

“Air traffic controller staffing has been strained for years, leading to travel disruptions for millions of Americans. It’s about time we addressed the challenges leading to these issues. This bill would enable the FAA to hire more staff so we can ensure there’s a strong pipeline of qualified air traffic controllers and help keep the flying public safely.” — Senator Shaheen

“Our nation is facing a shortage of air traffic controllers causing flight delays and disruptions across the country. The Air Traffic Controllers Hiring Act will help address these shortages and improve the safety of our airways.” — Senator Klobuchar

“This bipartisan bill, which also was included in the version of FAA reauthorization which has passed through the U.S. House of Representatives, would put us on path to fixing staffing shortages so that we can continue to operate the safest, most efficient aviation system in the world,” — NATCA President Rich Santa.

About Warrick Humane Society 

Warrick Humane Society, a no-kill shelter located in Newburgh, Indiana, was founded in 1983 by a handful of dedicated volunteers who rescued lost, injured and neglected animals. Since WHS opened their building in 1997 and began actively working with Animal Control agencies and other rescue organizations, WHS has saved thousands of animals and placed them in loving homes. Warrick Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) no-kill rescue dedicated to improving companion animals’ lives.  WHS does not receive any funding from taxes or any national organizations. WHS is funded entirely by individual and corporate donations, bequests, grants and fundraising events.  Because all animals adopted by WHS are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped as well as receiving any other special care they may need, finding enough funding is always a challenge.   

 

UE Men’s soccer returns to Valley play against Northern Illinois

0
The Aces will play only their third program game against the Huskies on Saturday
 
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The University of Evansville men’s soccer team gets to play its first home match of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) season against a new conference opponent.
The Aces return to conference play this weekend as they welcome Northern Illinois to Arad McCutchan Stadium for the first time in six years. NIU is a new addition to the Valley in men’s soccer in 2023. In the team’s previous meetings, the Aces picked up two wins four years apart. UE has only played the Huskies twice in program history and has a 7-3 goal advantage.

On Tuesday night Evansville held the No. 10 team in the nation scoreless for 78 minutes in a close 2-0 loss to Louisville. A goal in the final 15 minutes of play broke the scoreless tie towards Louisville. It was the first game all season the Aces were shut out by an opponent. UE has averaged 1.63 goals per game with their highest output coming against Southern Indiana with 4 goals.

The Huskies come into Saturday’s game with a 2-5 record, recording wins against Western Illinois and Aurora (Division III). NIU’s lone MVC game so far was a loss to No. 9 Missouri State last weekend. The Huskies were shut out by the Bears 3-0 for only their second game not finding the back of the net. Northern Illinois is led on the field by junior forward Taisei Arima and senior midfielder Eddie Knight with seven points each. Knight leads the team in goals along with fellow midfielder Camilio Estrada with three goals.

Evansville defender Nacho Diaz-Caneja is currently on a seven-game shot streak, recording one in all but his first game as a Purple Ace. Of the seven games, Diaz-Caneja has put a shot on goal in 4. UE’s most accurate player midway through the season is midfielder Carlos Barcia, putting 85.7% of his shots on target while midfielder Jose Vivas leads the team in shots with 14. The Aces’ other shots leader, forward Nacho Diaz Barragan, has been sidelined for the foreseeable future with a meniscus tear.

UE will be celebrating Family Weekend on Saturday afternoon. Kick-off from McCutchan Stadium on the 23rd is set for 7 p.m.
