Oberlin FAA furloughs hit air traffic center staff
Oberlin technicians at the Oberlin Air Traffic Control Center will be furloughed one day every two weeks for 24 weeks starting April 4. The move affects about 110 technicians and mirrors nationwide austerity plans by the FAA. Technicians at Cleveland Hopkins and Burke Lakefront are similarly impacted.
