The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all flights headed to New
York’s LaGuardia Airport on Friday, and thousands of unpaid IRS
workers didn’t show up for work (see below), marking what is perhaps a
turning point in the ongoing government shutdown.

Citing safety concerns stemming from a shortage of air traffic control
staff, the FAA’s decision to halt all incoming traffic to one of the
country’s largest airports is a significant, if not altogether
unexpected development as the government shutdown is expected to drag
into its sixth week. Earlier this week the National Air Traffic
Controllers Association, the Air Line Pilots Association, and
Association of Flight Attendants-CWA issued a joint statement
regarding their “growing concern for the safety and security of our
members, our airlines, and the traveling public due to the government
shutdown.”

In an interview published on Splinter prior to the FAA’s decision on
Friday, Association of Flight Attendants head Sara Nelson emphasized
the airline industry’s overall commitment to safety, and worried that
the ongoing shutdown had put that commitment in jeopardy.

“We are rapidly approaching a breaking point,” Nelson said, when asked
whether talks of suspending services had been limited to just her
union, or the airline industry as a whole.

On Twitter, the FAA attempted to downplay the airport delays,
attributing it to a “slight increase in sick leave at two facilities.”

The story I am hearing is that Trump
caved on news the flight attendants union
was about to go on strike, shutting down
virtually all commercial air traffic.

How satisfying that the misogynist-
in-chief would be humiliated by a group
of women.......


Almost as misogynist as someone who thinks all flight attendants are
women?
