If the principal of the school is fired all the teachers that worked under them don’t forget how to teach kids the next day.
Besides he took office January 20th and the crash happened on the 29th. He didn’t start firing FAA staff until early February I believe.

threats to federal workers across the entire government - ‘you have 10 days to turn in your colleagues or else you’re fired’ - went out January 23rd. Remote workers were threatened with firings the day or so after. people currently being hired but not yet finalized were given notice the same week, and people hired but on probationary status (doesn’t mean what youre thinking it’s just a designation for people in good standing who haven’t secured permanent position) - were told to fuck right off the week of January 23rd.
the amount of chaos and fear generated in the first week alone was staggering. but you’re right, the actual FIRINGS took a couple more days. the threats came IMMEDIATELY.
not saying it caused the crash entirely, but there’s reasonable evidence the administration at least contributed to the stress ATCs already experience.
better question is, why the fuck should military helicopters be doing exercises right the fuck beneath flight paths of commercial airlines? there’s literally thousands of military bases where they can pRaCTiCe and do military shit. gtfo civilian air space, noobs.
