Casual detail: the firing email came from a Microsoft email address, not a .gov one.

Trump fires FAA air traffic control staff, just weeks after DC crash
The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a fatal midair collision near Washington. Probationary workers were targeted in late-night emails Friday notifying them they had been fired. That's according to David Spero, president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists union. One air traffic controller told The Associated Press the fired workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says fewer than 400 FAA employees were fired and “Zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go.”
Happy New Year!
