The Federal Aviation Administration says it plans to reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets beginning Friday morning to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown. The reduction stands to impact thousands of flights nationwide. Air traffic controllers have been working unpaid since the shutdown began Oct. 1. With some calling out of work, staffing shortages during some shifts have led to flight delays at a number of U.S. airports. Citing growing staffing pressures, FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said Wednesday that the agency would not wait for a crisis to act. He says a list of the affected markets will be released sometime Thursday.
Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt.

#Republican #House Speaker #MikeJohnson has refused to negotiate with #Democrats until they first agree to reopen the government.
This is now the second-longest #shutdown.
The longest shutdown occurred during Trump’s first term over his demands for funds to build the US-Mexico border wall. That one ended in 2019 after 35 days.

Democratic lawmakers are demanding that any deal to reopen the federal government address expiring #healthcare subsidies that have made #HealthInsurance more affordable for millions of Americans. They also want any government funding bill to reverse the #Medicaid cuts in #Trump’s big tax breaks & spending cuts bill passed this summer.

During a hearing on Oct 15, Illston said the layoff notices that started going out on or around Oct 10 appeared to be politically motivated and not well thought out. About 4,100 layoff notices have gone out, some sent to work email addresses that furloughed employees are not allowed to check. Some personnel were called back to work, without pay, to issue layoff notices.

The American Federation of Government Employees #AFGE & other #labor #unions have sued to stop the “reductions in force” #MassLayoffs, saying the firings were an #AbuseOfPower designed to punish #FederalWorkers & pressure #Congress.
Lawyers for the government claim the district court does not have the authority to hear personnel challenges [which is bullshit].

Illston has said she believes the evidence will ultimately show the #MassFirings were #illegal & in excess of authority.
The #Trump admin has slashed #jobs in #education, #health & other areas it says are favored by #Democrats. The admin has also said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through #SNAP flowing into November.
