How many FAA employees have been affected by the Trump administration's cuts and what does the administration say about safety concerns?

According to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, fewer than 400 employees out of the FAA's 45,000 total workforce have been cut as part of the Trump administration's government downsizing effort. Duffy insisted that none of these cuts affect aviation safety or security operations. However, there has been limited transparency from the administration about the full scope of these cuts, with information primarily coming from inside sources and unions representing the affected workers.
