[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has to do with the % of TSA agents calling out at those airports.  [b]DCA and IAD have not had the call-outs that BWI has had.[/b][/quote]

This is obvious. The question is why?[/quote]
I've read (probably on DCUM) that IAD and DCA TSA are privately contracted and funded so they're being paid - no idea if it's true.[/quote]
I don’t think that’s true. Dulles and DCA aren’t listed as airports that use private contractors. I think it has more to do with BWI TSA staff pulling more from the Baltimore area, while staff for IAD/DCA pull more from the DC/NoVa region where they have a higher tolerance for federal government shenanigans. [/quote]

That's my theory too, that the workers at DCA and IAD are just like "here we go again" and hope they'll get a bonus for not calling out. I fully support TSA workers for calling out, FWIW, it's completely ridiculous to expect employees to go without paychecks multiple times in less than a year (or ever). Maybe they need to go drive Uber or do some other gig work to earn money and I don't begrudge them that at all.[/quote]
