Yep. This would be a very bad Idea. Wait till Trump tells them they are not getting paid. Airports will shutdown.

Meanwhile a UPS plane crash killed/injured 11 workers. Shall we have the Republicans tell us again about how useless federal workers are?

+1 And the fact that people don't realize that asking people to work without pay for over a month is akin to Slavery 2025 style is crazy. This is the longest shutdown in history, brought to you by Trump and his Republican Congress.

The military has air traffic controllers for their bases and ships.
which they still need on their ships and bases.

Oh the military pays for a surplus of ATCs to just sit around? How many are there and how much does this cost?

Instead of sending the National Guard and military to cities, why doesn’t Trump send them to support airports and flight controllers?It’s been done before with shutdowns.
