if it isnt safe, set the brake. I carry more gas during ATC issues. As much as it pains me to see things get delayed, im not paid to be on time. Im paid to be safe. I dont have an issue with diverting either and im not flying into ATC zero airspace.

I know it isn't a fix but alpa pac doesn’t need to get into the fur ball that is far beyond pilots issues. Congress is well aware of their current theatrics and effects.

i do want alpa to advocate for more good controllers, better training and a better pipeline. Which has been echoed by the senior controllers i have talked to in person.

I also find it ironic that nobody has missed a paycheck yet everyone is sick. Well, all my kids friends are sick, maybe its just crap staffing and the FAA blaming their staffing on funding lapses that havent hit yet.
