🇺🇸 SEC. DUFFY: EVERY RESOURCE IS GOING INTO GETTING MORE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS "What I'm gonna do is put every resource into training up more air traffic controllers to get them certified in their airspace in which they're gonna work, but also getting those experienced controllers to stay on the job, paying them a little more to not retire and continue to work for us. And again, if I engage in that fight, nothing's ever gonna change. And I need to change this quickly so I get more air traffic controllers in the cabs helping control aircraft throughout the airspace.” Source: Secretary Sean Duffy

Even with the government shutdown expected to draw to a close this week, chaos at the airports is persisting, with the Federal Aviation Administration ordering airports to cancel 6% of flights on Tuesday and ramp that number up to 10% on Friday. TSA employees and air traffic controllers are considered essential workers – but while they were expected to work throughout the shutdown, they have not been paid, with air traffic controllers missing their second full paycheck on Tuesday. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said air traffic controllers could receive much of their back pay within 48 hours of the shutdown coming to an end. As he flew out of Wisconsin on Tuesday, Duffy also warned that the upcoming weekend had the potential to be even more chaotic than previous days.

🚨 BREAKING: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reveals that Democrats' shutdown over giving illegal aliens healthcare is SEVERELY STRAINING the air traffic control system. "In Burbank, ZERO controllers came to work...Their paychecks come next week. And they see what's on the horizon. They're like, listen, do I see a resolution to the shutdown? I don't see it. So guess what? I'm concerned about my own life, my own family." "I want people when they travel to get to where they're going. So if we don't have controllers, we're going to make sure the airspace is safe. So what we do is we'll slow traffic, we'll shut down traffic. And that's what you saw on Burbank. We saw significant delays because controllers weren't there." Great work, Chuck. Now your shutdown is making it harder for Americans to travel.
