I'm pretty sure they weren't in the package; I'm trying to find the link on that.

Per the OPM website, it certainly seems like they might be:

Deferred resignation is available to all full-time federal employees except for military personnel of the armed forces, employees of the U.S. Postal Service, those in positions related to immigration enforcement and national security, and those in other positions specifically excluded by your employing agency.

On its face, it would apply. But not clear whether the FAA (the employing agency) took any action to exclude controllers from the buyout, since it had neither an Administrator (he resigned after Trump got elected) nor an acting Administrator (Trump appointed one today).

Similar confusion abounds over whether air traffic controllers are also covered by the hiring freeze.

But if 10% of the controllers did resign in response to the offer...would the system still be able to function?
