Air Traffic Control should be run by a consortium of ALL the airlines, General Aviation Fees and Government/Military Aviation fees....................
Call Chuckles. He’ll know.
I’m curious how essential workers can just decide not to show up to work.
Are there laws that require their work?
Are there contractual provisions allowing them to just take off during a shutdown?
Will they , or will they not, receive pay for these days off?
Is this sort of sanctioned by the administration to put pressure on Chucky?
I really don’t know the answers to these questions.

Given all the problems at Newark, it’s time to close the airport.
Time to privatize air traffic controllers and security.
Keep unions out too.
It seems Left-Wing, to me, to “fix” one f-up by replacing it with another.
The ATC will unionize and air traffic will be stopped every year, probably right around Christmas. I thought Reagan showed all of us this.
Remember the good old days when we had police in and around the airports?
Air traffic should be done on a remote basis.
We have high-speed internet these days.
Airspace could be air speed stacked and directionally layered by height to avoid collisions.
There would be cones reserved for landing and takeoff passing through them.
These cones would be bifurcated with one for jets and another for slower craft such as Cessnas.
Pretty stewardesses with $100 bills could stand outside air traffic control office entrances around shift change time.
The WEF has in its stated objectives to rational air travel for the public. Last I saw it was an average of 1.2 flights per year. Anything more they want to charge you a progressive use tax. As you continue to travel by air your fees charged increase rapidly, doubling and more.
Anything the left can do to sour the deplorable public on air travel, they will implement. Chaos does not go well with aviation. They are using that.
It is now. Weest to east, odd numbered altitudes. East to west, even numbered altitudes. VFR the same, plus or minus 500 feet. Everything on the J-Routes (above 18,000 feet) is ATC assigned. Class B airspace has speed limits to pace and match arrival and departure speeds for spacing which is supposed to be maintained with some exceptions.
“Air Traffic Control”
Can I get off US41 at Sorrento and turn left onto the service road?
Yes, get on Sorrento and then the service road.
Can I turn right onto my street?
Yes!
Can I turn into my driveway?
Yes!
They’d for for free for the greater good, Comrade!
One would think the ambitious workers would show up every day, impress their boss and maybe get a promotion after this.
The main problems are landings and runway switching.
A landing time might be booked and the airport landing fee paid via an app.
The landing time would take weather risks into account.
Landing times might get shifted based on actual weather and other events. The pilot might told to adjust airspeed by the app. He might have to get into a loop at the destination airport. The loops would have a radius proportionate to air speed.
Is that really realistic? I doubt it because it's one of 3 airports to serve New York City. Also, it costs a fortune to build a new airport of that size.
