This. I just flew internationally. No delays coming or going, and that includes clearing customs on the way back. Breezed through there in 10 minutes flat. TSA workers everywhere. Leaving again in a month. Will report back with changes.
Significant flight delays were rippling across the Northeast on Friday because of a shortage of air traffic controllers as a result of the government shutdown, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The agency said it was slowing traffic in and out of the airports because of staffing problems at facilities in Washington and Jacksonville, Fla.
The delays were cascading along the Eastern Seaboard, reaching as far north as Boston. But La Guardia was the only airport closed off to arriving flights from other cities because it was so crowded with planes taking off and landing on a weekday morning.
Kennedy International and Newark Liberty International airports continued to operate and flights bound for those airports were proceeding.
On Wednesday, unions representing air traffic controllers, pilots and flight attendants offered an urgent warning that the lengthy government shutdown had created serious safety concerns for the nation’s air travel system. Like many other federal employees, the controllers have been working without pay for more than a month.
“The President has been briefed and we are monitoring the ongoing delays at some airports,’’ said Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary. “We are in regular contact with officials at the Department of Transportation and the FAA.”
A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that it was rerouting planes and slowing air traffic to cope with an increase in the number of controllers calling in sick.
Repubs put up a bill to pay the federal employees and all but 6 Dems voted against it. Dem shutdown and they don't give a fuck!
It only played out like that in your pea brain, Cletus.
Trump and the GOP took a major hit in every poll over this shutdown, and then Pelosi bent Trump over and buttfucked him with her strap-on to close it out.
