Delta Air Lines has broken its public silence over the ongoing federal government shutdown, urging Congress to end the impasse as travel operations across the country begin to strain under staffing shortages and delayed paychecks for federal workers.
Delta, which carries more passengers daily than any other U.S. airline, is now publicly calling for an end to the standoff.
Specifically, Delta One check-in facilities in Los Angeles (LAX) and New York (JFK) feature separate, private security checkpoints. Those have been shut down due to staffing shortages (presumably, when TSA agents call in sick, those are the first to be shut down).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
