FAA introduces wellness checks for Reagan air traffic controllers
The Federal Aviation Administration has announced extra support for air traffic controllers at Ronald Reagan National Airport following a series of incidents, including an alleged fight between two team members. Damon Marsalis Gaines, 39, was taken into custody by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department and charged with assault and battery after the incident on Thursday. The airport authority runs National Airport and Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Now the agency says it will send a critical incident stress management team to the airport to offer confidential support for staff following stressful events, increase operational supervisor staffing from six to eight, review airport certified professional controller staffing numbers and the arrival rate of aircraft per hour. Additionally, the agency intends to conduct regular wellness checks at the facility. The FAA said Gaines, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, remains on administrative leave as officials investigate the matter. The agency is in the middle of a campaign to recruit air traffic controllers after several aviation disasters this year put the national shortage in the spotlight. The country needs more than 14,000 air traffic controllers and there are currently around 10,800. In January, National Airport suffered a fatal incident when an American Airlines plane collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River, killing 67 people. A National Transportation Safety Board preliminary investigation found the airport had experienced 15,000 near-misses from October 2021 to December 2024. On Friday, the airport had another near-miss incident when a Delta Air Lines flight came close to a US Air Force T-3 jet around 3 p.m. as the military jet flew over the east bank of the river for a flyover ceremony at nearby Arlington National Cemetery. Following the fatal crash, the FAA imposed restrictions on non-commercial traffic flying over the river, with exceptions for emergency, presidential and vice-presidential operations.

Jelly Roll showed up 30 minutes late for the WM Phoenix Open pro-am
Jelly Roll really needed a favor from the starter at the WM Phoenix Open pro-am on Wednesday, but he wasn't about to get it. Tee times, of course, aren't written in pencil but rather etched in pen, especially at a PGA Tour event. But according to Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic, when Jelly Roll's name was called for the 9:50 a.m. tee time on Wednesday, the man originally named Jason Bradley DeFord was nowhere to be found. According to Mackie's piece, the starter joked "Jelly Roll must be on rockstar time." More from the story: Roughly half an hour later, Jelly Roll showed up to the course, where he was hounded for autographs and selfies before eventually joining up with the rest of his group, which features PGA Tour players J.T. Poston and Taylor Moore. Later on Wednesday, Jelly Roll is headlining the opening night of the Coors Light Birds Nest concert series, with Treaty Oak Revival opening. The 2025 WM Phoenix Open is set to begin Thursday at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona. Nick Taylor is the defending champion, beating Charley Hoffman on the second playoff hole a year ago to win the title. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who won this event in 2022 and 2023 before a T-3 last year, is also in the field, as is Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, Sepp Straka and amateur Luke Clanton, among others.
