<p>"Obviously, you’re relying on air traffic control," Sen. Duckworth noted <a href="/tags/faa/" rel="tag">#FAA</a> officials, & air traffic controllers were among those who recd emails from <a href="/tags/opm/" rel="tag">#OPM</a> to consider leaving their jobs. "[Letters were sent to] some air traffic controllers that R responsible for airspace in Northeast region..basically trying 2 scare them into quitting at a time when we have a shortage of air traffic controllers.
