Do you know how frustrating it is to hear that everyone- like you- is all ITS JUST FINE. People are working without pay. Consumers should be striking but goodness knows Americans cant be uncomfortable for two seconds.

+1. I'm not a government worker but the apathy over this shutdown by the average American is insane.

It’s really not.

Dem leaders seem to be living this on a loop: “our bad strategy isn’t working. I know, let’s just do it longer!”

You spelled Republican wrong.

I am hoping that the cancellations will be the same over time ..like United is cancelling the 7 10 flight from Chicago to Dallas every day so flyers will kind of know what to expect . If everyday is a new game it will be difficult to know about return flights

wow, 2 kids at college, and you can afford to buy them airline tickets home? simply wow! you are very different than the families I know and live with.

DP- but I’m not sure why someone having different priorities than you is “wow.” One of my children chose a west coast university as it was half the price of our in state option plus nice weather. Adding in flights still doesn’t touch the in-state cost and she loves the vibes out there. But her possibly not making it home for Thanksgiving is making me very sad.

I get this sucks and we are changing our t’giving plans bc traveling with very elderly person who doesn’t pivot well BUT it’s only 10%. Obviously there will be delays and some cancellations but 90% will continue.

It is due to Trump trying to make Americans experience pain, so they pressure Democrats.

(See layoffs and cutting off SNAP payments—which has not happened in any other shutdown)

,Not sure it pressures the Democrats more than the Republicans.

Most airlines have said international flights won't be affected.

I just booked a pay later rental car (Chicagoland to DC) for the weekend after Thanksgiving. That relieves my logistical concerns … at least until the weather forecast comes in.

I'm glad we have already arrived at our holiday destination as of 2 weeks ago.

Fools.

You think it is safe to fly under Trump's administration? That is genius.
