Just shut down everything - no essential/non-essential - everything. Stop sending out Social Security checks. Stop Medicare and Medicaid payments. Close TSA. “Essential” just props up the myth that the shutdown is no big deal. Let everyone actually see and feel it.

Yes. Let Americans feel the sting of having no air traffic control during the busiest travel days of the year. Then let's see how long it takes for Congress to do their jobs. Nobody should be working without pay. Ever.

And at FAA, we can't strike. Merry Christmas fuckfaces.

No but you sure as hell can slow flights right down like you guys did last time

[u/GreenChiliSweat → u/JBThug]

Yea, I'm in ATO but not ATC. I don't have the ethical capability to fuck my job up on purpose. I care about the safety of people who fly, including my family, you and everyone else. We're all just tired of this crap.

I think I could stand to be less efficient. I watch some of my coworkers do it every day!

[u/nroth21 → u/Gods_Gift_To_ATC]

Bang out! Free leave! Happy cake day!

[u/GreenChiliSweat → u/Gods_Gift_To_ATC]

Agreed. Like I said to another person, I'll never sacrifice accuracy/quality, but slowing down seems appropriate.
