Original Note:
100 FAA employees refers to an Aviation Safety Advisory Committee which was disbanded, but federal employees on the committee were not fired from their primary jobs. It advised the TSA on their security functions, which isn’t typically relevant to mid-air collisions. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-01-22/trump-fires-heads-of-tsa-coast-guard-guts-aviation-safety-advisory-committee https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/aviation-security https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-air_collision
