How are the recent layoffs at the FAA under the Trump administration affecting air travel safety?

Air traffic control professionals are essential to maintaining aviation safety standards. Recently, approximately 300-400 FAA employees were laid off, raising concerns about the stability of air traffic management. Despite these layoffs, the US air traffic control system remains safe due to the integrity, skill, and deep expertise of remaining personnel who oversee navigational systems. However, the reduction in workforce is concerning, especially as it coincides with what appears to be an increase in air travel incidents, potentially compromising the aviation safety infrastructure at a time when qualified staff is critically needed.
