It has been a rough several days for aviation in the United States. We’re currently on day 41 of the government shutdown, which is the longest one we’ve ever seen in the country. While there are signs of the shutdown nearing an end, it hasn’t happened yet.
An increasing number of air traffic controllers have been calling in sick, given that some can no longer justify showing up to work without a paycheck. As a result, we’ve seen the FAA force airlines to cancel a certain percentage of flights, and that’s intended to help with operational reliability and staffing shortages.
Anyway, President Trump has just taken to social media, with a rather unusual message directed at air traffic controllers.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
