And yet, where is the proof of a huge spike in air incidents in the US...when these 'super-duper-qualifications' were reduced after the controllers were fired?

Do you really believe the MSM would report such figures, even if they knew them? Choose your bias (reasoning as to why not) but one method to determine whether there are "spikes" would be to analyze ASRS reports (Aviation Safety Reporting System) filed by pilots, controllers, mechanics, etc., when they deem an event to have the potential to impact aviation safety.

Unfortunately, like so much other government data, they make it "painful" to glean such information:
Requesting ASRS Data - Aviation Safety Reporting System - Requesting ASRS Data
My point is, if there were a big spike, for example, in "near-miss" events resulting from an ATC (controller) error that occurred, but did not result in a collision, you (the public) would not know - the figures could be eye-opening, as well as frightening!
So, you can't infer much of anything from the
lack of data, you must
have the data to make any meaningful correlation.
