Air Traffic Controller Chaos It's All Buttigieg's Fault ... Transportation Secretary Duffy Claims

Published | Updated

Update

8:37 AM PT -- A rep for Pete Buttigieg tells TMZ ... "Instead of doing his job, Sean Duffy continues his obsession with Pete by spewing nonsense that has no basis in fact and the New York Post continues to give that nonsense a boost."

Pete Buttigieg and the Biden Administration are to blame for the lack of competent air traffic controllers ... so says the current Secretary of Transportation.

Sean Duffy threw blame around on the "Pod Force One" podcast ... claiming Buttigieg lowered the requirements to be considered a "well-qualified" air traffic controller while in charge of the federal agency.

Duffy claims the threshold on the Air Traffic Skills Assessment used to be 85% to be considered well-qualified ... but, he claims, under Buttigieg, that number was changed to 80% -- a seemingly small statistical difference that Duffy says has a huge impact.
