But pilots, attendants, and parts for private jets could be delayed since they all fly commercial.
He adds that operators could also have issues getting parts to airplanes experiencing mechanical problems, since parts are sometimes shipped as cargo on airline flights.

Lack of TSA screenings for the private jetset make private jet travel less prone to slowdowns.
Segrave continues, "Since (private flights) do not need TSA screening, we think the issue will be initially confined to commercial travel and likely be limited to commercial as the resulting capacity cuts will take pressure off of ATC enough that even with a 30% staffing cut, they could still be able to handle it."

Describing your actions as “legal” is never confidence building 😂

"The money has been legally appropriated," Cullinan said. "However, it's not designated for a specific use like the other funds which again are spread out over 64 different projects." Cullinan's report did not list those 64 projects but he shared that some money had been allocated for projects but there was money left over.

Curious what the 3rd attempt will look like.

IX was repaved last week but the speed bumps were too small to slow down reckless drivers.

So yesterday they were replaced with bumps that mean business. These can damage your car if you don’t slow down.

First 24 hours shows a lot of folks learned this the hard way.
