Well the “clear” resolution was to fund the government to Nov 21 and Johnson is keeping the House on vacation. I thought it would be solved after the elections but now it may go on way in to next year.

ATC’ers are going to have to find new jobs. Air traffic will get worst each week.

This

Air travel will be non existent by Christmas next year nope

We’ll be inadvertently helping achieve Paris Summit climate goals. Someone better tell the Repubs to re-open the government so we can get back to polluting!

We had 4 flights into LGA and JFK today from 4 different cities. The flight from DCA tomLGA was the only one delayed. Delayed by about 45 minutes.

Getting home on Sunday may be a different issue.

I’ve been flying cross country and back the last two days and can’t even count how many flights I’ve had delayed or cancelled now. Was just in Dallas and can confirm was a disaster. I think PP’s husband did get out of that was the earlier flight — the second flight has been delayed by 6 hours and God knows if it will fly.

San Jose to Ont , CA delayed but many flights around us cancelled

We were going from SFO to ONT but that flight was cancelled. We changed it ourselves on the SW app

We return to BWI next Thursday I have zero faith that flight will go ugh

Denver to IAD right now. Flight on time. No lines at pre check and 1-3 minutes posted for regular TSA. The cancelled flights were to places like Colorado Springs and Rapid City.

Yes those poor college students who can afford airfare home during the most expensive time of the year . . .

A lot of colleges close their dorms for the week of Thanksgiving. The kids can’t just stay at school and will have to make other arrangements, like going home with a friend or getting a hotel room. At my college, the Dean tried to find a home for students who couldn’t fly home by asking for volunteers among students within driving distance.

It’s actually quite rare for dorms to close over short breaks like Thanksgiving. Many people do not travel for that short a period.

I think it's pretty common.

It's not common.

This wouldn’t be happening if Mayor Pete was still Transportation Secretary.

Oh wait. He was always on paternity leave when there was a transportation issue. Never mind.

They’re calling it an air traffic delay. Looks like we all need to be prepared to sit around the airport for a few hours every flight.

Did they end up slotting you in? That's an interesting way to manage the shortage at the destination airport and it's very scheduled and predictable. It's just that people won't like it.

I like the idea that they should ground all the corporate and private flights first.

The airlines are not canceling their international flights, then they are trying not co cancel any flights to their hub cities. Its the non-hub flights and the regional jet flights that are far more likely to be canceled.

Why dont we stop all private flights first?

Who is we? The people who fly on private jets are the people who fund the president's ballroom. No way they are going to be delayed

Correct. But a lot do close for Christmas, so let's hope the shutdown will be over by then.

What about very regional flights like Allegiant? They’re typically direct - point to point - in non hub cities.
