Government Shutdown

[Valles]

I wonder what'll happen when all the ATCs call in sick at the same time. For a whole week.

Think the GOP will notice?

They did when Reagan was President. Remember how that turned out?

If I remember correctly the response was that they were all fired, replaced with military ATC personel and then had to beg to get their jobs back

After the military controllers had to implement most of the stuff they'd asked for in order to meet safety standards.

There were a lot fewer civilian ATCs in those days, though, and about the same number of military ones. It wouldn't work today.
