@UH60Hawk@MsAnnaBaxter@atrupar I guess you could say it’s in my proverbial wheelhouse…I have been an air traffic controller for 14 years. I’m pretty sure I know how it works
@SPrather3@FAANews@SecDuffy Staffing shortages started over a decade ago….we haven’t had enough controllers since all of the hires after the strike in 1981 were forced to retire in the 2010s
@kaylynn1921@L_jackson_M@SecDuffy@AmericaBeckyb@goingplacesCLE@SenSchumer@RepJeffries@NATCA I have worked as an air traffic controller for 13.5 years, and I love my job. A shutdown is a possibility, and I am aware of that. It doesn’t mean I should expect to not get paid for the work I do 6 days a week, forced to come in on days off and stay late or come early to cover
