Pilot error played a role in most recent major crashes and near misses, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is calling for harsher penalties for pilots who ignore air traffic controllers.

To address concerns, Duffy announced plans to speed up air traffic controller hiring from Febreuary 27 to March 17 and increase starting salaries by 30%.
His remarks follow a series of crashes, including last month’s midair collision between a military helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet near Washington, D.C., which killed 67 people.
