I would love to see how this will help air traffic controllers and TSA. I realize they will handle 10% fewer people and flights, but is a 10% cut enough to reduce their hours? Will they work less overtime? Does the FAA know? Is there a plan?
The Federal Aviation Administration is forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 of the busiest airports across the nation to reduce pressure on air traffic controllers during the ongoing government shutdown and ensure that flying remains safe. https://to.pbs.org/4oZXoRO
Here's a list of airports that will have to reduce flights during the government shutdown
The cuts will start to take effect on Friday.
