"United, Southwest and Delta airlines began cancelling flights for Friday in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration’s directive that will see reductions in flights at 40 major airports from Friday to help address air traffic controller shortage safety concerns as a result of the government shutdown."

"For now, the affordability issue belongs to Democrats. Everything the administration is doing on the economy not only won’t make things better, it’s already unpopular. Tax cuts for the wealthy, tariffs, cutting off benefits to low-income people — they can say it’s going to improve the average person’s life, but that average person isn’t going to buy it."

Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt.

Exclusive: #US may cut #AirTraffic 10% by Friday without #shutdown deal

The shutdown has forced 13,000 #AirTrafficControllers & 50,000 Transportation Security Administration [ #TSA] officers to work WITHOUT #PAY & snarled tens of thousands of #flights.
