Don't Cut FAA Workers Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from carrying out a mass layoff within one year of a major aviation accident (i.e., an aircraft accident in which a fatal aviation injury occurs), unless the FAA receives congressional approval. 

Specifically, the FAA must notify Congress of plans to carry out or facilitate a mass layoff following a major aviation accident. The notification must include the number and type of employees proposed to be laid off. The FAA may only carry out the layoff if Congress enacts a joint resolution approving the proposal no later than 60 days after receiving the notification.

Under the bill, a mass layoff means a reduction in force or other termination of employment that results in a personnel loss during any 90-day period of (1) 10 or more FAA employees at a single employment site; or (2) 250 or more FAA employees, irrespective of the employment site.
