Flights to LAX were temporarily halted Sunday as the FAA cited a shortage of air traffic controllers linked to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The Federal Aviation Administration said flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted Sunday morning due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility.
The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed and canceled in the coming days as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown.
During an appearance on the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures,” Duffy said more controllers were calling in sick as money worries compound the stress of an already challenging job.
Many do, but you don’t understand that once you sign up for the military you are trapped in it for a while.
Also I generally don’t try to hate the individual that much. We all know the US military is designed to target the most impoverished and desperate in our society to feed them to the war machine. There are many places in the United States where the only way to escape poverty is the military. This is intentional, it creates the illusion of a “volunteer” military and frankly people care less when poor people die.
SMH. You referenced Reagan, as in the US administration. That’s who I referenced.
What? You’re suggesting that Reagan should have left the presidency to be a full time air traffic controller? Or are we talking about soldiers from the 80s?
I thought it was pretty clear we were talking about modern day America and using examples from the past to demonstrate the options that Trump could use
The admin. Holy shit, so much for inference.
How is this statement not talking about the individual soldiers?
I’m certain you’re not suggesting Trump leave the presidency to become and air traffic controller.
