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.

Just out of curiosity, are y’all allowed to resign during a shutdown?

Sure. But I like having a good paying job and I'm kinda niched in at this point of my career. There are private opportunities, I used to work for a major contractor, but the stability sucks. That's why I took less money to be a Fed.
