The Department of Transportation said the final number of cuts would depend on how many employees first take a buyout offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cuts could happen as soon as the end of the month. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The buyout offer, referred to as a deferred resignation program, allows workers to receive pay and benefits for several months if they agree to resign. Multiple federal agencies have made large-scale buyout offers as part of President Trump&#8217;s effort to dramatically scale back the size of the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Duffy has promised the DOT&#8217;s workforce cuts won&#8217;t affect airline safety. Duffy became Transportation Secretary amid two high-profile airline crashes, including a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/crash-reagan-national-airport-washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">midair collision in January<\/a><\/span> over the Potomac River in Washington that left 67 dead.<\/p>\n<p>On May 1, Duffy announced plans to boost air traffic controller recruiting.
