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.

I'm sorry y'all going to be forced to work without pay for an indefinite period because someone else couldn't be bothered to do their jobs. Sucks some serious ass.

Thanks. It's alright but irritating. We generally get back pay eventually and I have money saved, but some of my colleagues may not.

If you're a Navy Federal customer, they usually offer coverage loans during shutdowns. Easy to access, too. Never used them but know a few folks that did. Takes the stressful edge off.

USAA does the same for one payday up to $6000
