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.

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

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 😐

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

We got along for 1000’s of years before so called “air traffic control”. Why do we only suddenly need them in the last 100 years?
Sounds like the deep state to me. Abolish the ATC.

Sorry… I may be too European for this, but, why are they working?

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.
