jiminyC_fan Posted January 24, 2019 #26 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I commend you for taking care of the Coast Guard. I urge everyone to remember that there are many other government employees outside of the Coast Guard that needs help just as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My church is organizing donations to local food banks as I type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropomo Posted January 24, 2019 #28 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yes, this is a crisis. But can we please refrain from bringing the politics (either side) into this discussion whether directly or by innuendo. We all have opinions on this, but the one thing we can all agree on is that Washington is broken and "they" need to do the people's work! Thank you.

Rare OneSixtyToOne Posted January 25, 2019 #29 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) FYI there was a ground halt at LaGuardia this morning due to a shortage of employees at two area control centers in Washington and Jacksonville. ACCs route traffic between air spaces. Edited January 25, 2019 by OneSixtyToOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cienfuegos Posted January 25, 2019 #30 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Atlanta's Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms mentioned the other day on TV that "no problems are expected" for Super Bowl visitors. She said that 120 TSA inspectors would be sent to Atlanta, and 50 Air Traffic Controllers would be assigned to help. If every station is short handed due to the non-payment of these staff members, what happens to the hundreds of other stations when these folks are sent to Atlanta?

ropomo Posted January 25, 2019 #31 Share Posted January 25, 2019 It appears that the House, Senate and Whitehouse have reached a deal to reopen the government, albeit only for 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
