hell no

1. Trump's administration is not planning on back pay. No matter what the norms are.
2. In two weeks we will have full shut down of air travel. It is already being discussed.

Stop fear mongering unless you have valid links. Good grief.

DP. Yeah- Trump admin is def trying to get rid of back pay - see Axios coverage. There's already a thread in Political Forum here.

Things will start getting bad and if by 15th, nothing is resolved, I would really be reticent to travel. It's less the TSA security and more the safety of flying when the ATC start bailing. I don't blame them. But I also think that's the only leverage to getting us back on track. I personally think that the shutdown will resolve because of this and before or by the end of month - way before Thanksgiving travel hits - because of the political nightmare that will ensue for both parties. That's something they will not want given midterms next year. Historically, air travel shuttering has been the most effective solution in these times.
