The TSA and ATC aren’t working for free. They’re working for delayed pay.

With staffing levels the way they are it doesn’t take much. We need to stop holding paychecks hostage from people that are forced to work during the shutdown. Nothing is going to resolve the ATC staffing ****show like new hires knowing every few years they’re going to have to pay their bills with IOU’s.
