Airport staff says temporary air traffic controller Phil Hoover has started; coverage may be short-term
Summary
Board members heard that a temporary air traffic controller, Phil Hoover, began service on the 12th and that Hoover may move on to another position; board members described the hire as helping immediate staffing needs.
Board members were told that a temporary air traffic controller, Phil Hoover, started on the 12th and was present at the meeting.
An unidentified speaker said, "A new temporary air traffic controller, Phil Hoover, started on the twelfth. He's here today, actually." The speaker added that Hoover "seems pretty okay" but noted he may not be long-term because he is "looking to go somewhere else." The presenter said Hoover may be able to refer retired FAA personnel who could provide additional coverage in the future.
The board treated the item as an update; no formal personnel actions were taken. Staff said the temporary hire reduced immediate staffing pressure for the named controller (Kevin), whom the presenter said would have faced additional work without the new hire.
