**Makes it easier for military air traffic control specialists to move into civilian FAA jobs by expanding a working group's duties to map credentials, fix training gaps, and coordinate across agencies and unions.** This bill would broaden the Joint Aviation Employment Training Working Group's role to develop recommendations and coordinate with the Department of Defense, the Department of Transportation, and exclusive bargaining representatives to improve transitions into controller, manager, and supervisor roles at the FAA. - Service members with Series 2152 credentials: Would get clearer pathways to FAA employment because the group must identify barriers in training, credentialing, standardization, and earning FAA-equivalent credentials before separation. - FAA hiring and frontline management: Would receive recommendations to remove barriers in training, phraseology, systems, and technology so certified DoD specialists can fill vacant FAA positions, including frontline manager roles. - Exclusive bargaining representatives: Must be consulted as the group develops recommendations, giving unions a formal role in shaping transition policies.
