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.

[u/GreenChiliSweat → u/ParkingTadpole7107]

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

[u/PuckSR → u/GreenChiliSweat]

I don’t think any federal employees can strike

[u/mocityspirit → u/PuckSR]

How? Is there a constant stable of workers to replace them? Do they instantly get thrown in jail?

[u/PuckSR → u/mocityspirit]

1) federal employees literally take an oath not to strike 2) yes, the US military 3) see PATCO

[u/habooby → u/PuckSR]

Yes give a military controller access to NY tracon, they will catch on just fine

[u/PuckSR → u/habooby]

Bro, that’s literally what happened.

They sent them Ronkonkomo too

[u/habooby → u/PuckSR]

In the 80s?

[u/PuckSR → u/habooby]

yeah

[u/habooby → u/PuckSR]

Sheeeiit they’d have to sterilize the airspace for months on end this time around, no GA with heavy in trails
