ATC Pay Raise Highlights FY26 Minibus as Ed Budget Stays Flat

Congressional appropriators released a four-bill FY2026 minibus covering Defense, Homeland Security, Labor, HHS, Education, Transportation and HUD, moving toward a full-year budget before Jan 30. Highlights include $1.58B for the FAA and a 3.8% pay raise for air traffic controllers (contingent on efficiency gains), a flat Education Department budget around $79B, maintained or increased HHS/SAMHSA funding, a $15B SSA admin budget, and targeted staffing cuts at Transportation and HUD framed by Republicans as 'right-sizing,' while small agencies stay funded.
