What safety concerns have arisen in the aviation industry following recent incidents?

Great concern about flying safety has emerged following recent aviation accidents. The Washington Post reported that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) let go hundreds of technicians and engineers just weeks after a midair collision near the White House killed 67 people. These layoffs occurred despite promises from Trump officials to improve air safety following the deadly incident. The timing of these staff reductions has raised serious questions about aviation safety oversight at a time when the industry is experiencing significant accidents and operational challenges.
