Reagan lifts hiring ban on fired air controllers
President Reagan allows 11 500 dismissed air traffic controllers to seek federal jobs again, but not in flight towers. Officials say most would not return to FAA posts, with some potential moves to the Defense Department as 20 000 new civilian posts open. Pension and benefits remain from strike time, and overall job prospects depend on federal attrition and budget cuts.
