Yeah, it sucks for those involved, but Im just going to be cold here, throw spears, its fine, but they all knew this could happen when they took the ATC job; same as mil Guard/Reserve dudes/dudettes still jobbing it w/o pay, same as we all know we can be furloughed from our respective airlines as well.
