The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it would hire 12,500 new air traffic controllers over the next decade to offset a wave of looming retirements.
FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said 435 controllers will be added next year, 1,249 the following year and varying amounts in subsequent years through 2014. When hiring is completed, the FAA will have 16,500 controllers, about 1,500 more than now.
