I wonder what would happen if they all found other jobs to do and gave up being an air traffic controller because they weren’t being paid.
Capitalism seems to work just one way in the United States. Hey Air Traffic Controllers: **if you are not being paid, do not work.**
Maybe take the opportunity to form a… *wait for it*… union as well.
Added bonus: No plane travel will get Republicans to the negotiating table pretty quickly.
Air traffic controllers are running on fumes while Washington runs on ego. Man..I hate this administration of Orange felon.
They cant strike but you apparently dont have to pay them either… wtf
Thank goodness the refactoring/rewriting of the FAA software stack DOGE (and I think Big Ballz himself,) is in place so the folks help keeping air traffic safe. I mean that did happen right? Or maybe it is still happening? or… Hmm… Guess I haven’t heard much about that in a few months… /s
It either work for someone else and eat (and live) or work as air traffic controller and die of starvation
They won’t come in when Thanksgiving hits. The country will a collapse after that
I went through the airport and one passenger was giving a TSA security agent some crap who basically said “I ain’t getting paid. I’m not putting up with this crap.” Very pissed off and I don’t blame them
Maybe the reality tv sec of transportation and his reality tv wife will have to stay home for the holidays.
Hard to believe the guy from MTV’s *Real World: Boston* became this asshole 😐
Then again
> One of the most infamous plotlines centered on his fixation with Genesis Moss, a roommate who identifies as a lesbian
> Despite her clear disinterest, Duffy pursued her relentlessly, making awkward advances and even propositioning her with gems such as “feel my noodle”
maybe it’s not *that* surprising…
Damn, hard to believe some billionaire can’t come up with the funds to pay these essential workers. Guess they don’t give a shit.
Time to strike, boys. They’re taking advantage of y’all
Sorry… I may be too European for this, but, why are they working?
Shut down.
I guess the republicans should do something about that.
Having stressed out and tired air traffic controllers sounds like a recipe for disaster.
The GOP will probably cave soon, but I’d love to see ICE go through this.
They should all call in sick
The only feeling Republicans understand is pain.
So inflict it upon them.
If workers aren’t getting paid then congress should not be getting paid.
Watch how thin it will be once they have to pay their mortgages without having been paid
Oh, he cares about air traffic controllers now? Why didn’t he stop DOGE from firing a bunch of them and leaving us shorthanded to begin with?
this is your fault Duffy! You are a Trump sycophant, you refuse to push back on Trump, you continue to champion a „rule-by-one“ society as opposed to an operational and functioning government. Your words mean nothing until you can speak plainly about where the fault lies.
Wildcat strike! Wildcat strike! Wildcat strike!
He needs to shut down US airspace until it’s safe.
But hey, at least DEI isn’t flying planes anymore, am I right? Who needs a black or gay pilot when we can fly the planes with racism and no income?
Maybe he shouldn’t have applauded when ATCs and their training programs got DOGED? This POS is going to strip down to his underwear and join a reality TV show again….while regulating airline safety.
So: mortgages. Are banks federally required to forgo mortgage payments during this time? Two months and counting, sounds like foreclosure time would be right on the horizon for normal people.
Ask Argentina for a bailout. Or maybe another one of billionaire friends can donate .01% of the payroll again.
This shit makes me extremely nervous to fly.
You don’t have the money to pay those hard workers, yet ICE is fully funded. We are fully aware of this administration’s priorities.
The ones that voted Republican should be happy about working for free
I miss Pete.
They should just strike.
Thank you, Sean, for that riveting update. Excellent.
I’m sure gutting healthcare in us was worth it
140m to “pay” for military but nothing for ATC? Interesting. I bet a few near misses for billionaires might get things going.
Strike. Strike. Strike.
Imagine bumping into a controller or technician at their part time job. All that talent and training they have and they are struggling to make ends meet. Just sad.
I hope we get funding soon!
>“My message has been to the controllers, ‘Show up, that’s your job. Eventually, you’re [going to] be paid.’
So… do your job without money for an unknowable amount of time while the republicans try to shield the pedophile president, in the meantime, here’s an I.O.U from the government who’s leader generally doesn’t pay his debts and will more than likely try to weasel out of backpay with no pushback from scotus or his own party.
We are winning so hard right now!!
If they all stopped working the county would literally come to halt and they would find a way to pay them within days.
