S. 1148 would change the hiring preferences the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
uses when hiring air traffic controllers. Specifically, the bill would authorize the FAA to
prioritize hiring air traffic controllers who are military veterans and who have graduated
from an FAA Collegiate Training Initiative school. The bill also would require the Inspector
General of the Department of Transportation to report to the Congress on the pre-
employment test used for air traffic controllers. Under the bill, the FAA would report every
six months to the Congress on the hiring and training of air traffic controllers.

Using information from the FAA, CBO estimates that the additional flexibility under the bill
could make it easier to hire air traffic controllers, but any reduced costs would not be
significant over the 2020-2024 period.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
