We need the airlines running full speed and those air traffic controllers working. Another month and it will start cascading strongly thru the economy and some major issues we do t need to deal with right now. We need to stay focused on cleaning up corruption and rebuilding our military for the upcoming war.

We know they will change the date before they vote and the house will have to come back.

GOPe loves it when the Dims run everything - even when the GOP is in the majority. However, it is really the Uniparty.

So sad.

Perhaps:

Flights (all times EST)(bracketed: smaller city service)

takeoff 6-8 land 8:30-9:45
(takeoff 6-6:45 land 7-7:30)(takeoff 8-8:20 land 8:45-9:45)
takeoff 10-10:45 land 11:15-1:45
(takeoff 10-10:30 land 11:00-11:30)(takeoff 12-12:20 land 12:45-1:45)
takeoff 2-2:45 land 3:15-4:30
takeoff 5-6:15 land 6:45-8
(takeoff 5-6 land 6:15-6:30)(takeoff 6:50-7:10 land 7:30-8:10)
takeoff 8:30-9 land 9:30-11:15
takeoff 11:30-11:59 land 12:30-5:45

Note: This supports the hub system

“Yes, whatever they do they better get the funding related to air traffic figured out fast.”

As for air traffic controllers:
1. policemen can direct the ‘winged cars’ on the ground
2. a state-paid person can watch radar screens and broadcast on digital radio.

Smartwatch, Built-in Alexa, GPS, VO2 Max, HRV, Blood Oxygen, Sleep Monitoring, Women’s Health, Custom Reminders, Sports Tracking, 1.32” AMOLED, Compass, Altimeter (Bluetooth, Gold, 43mm)

Yes, it supports multiple global positioning systems, including China’s BeiDou, the US’s GPS, Russia’s GLONASS, the EU’s Galileo, and Japan’s QZSS. This ensures accurate tracking for your running routes and other activities.

“I get all my notifications right on my wrist—texts, and calls. It’s super convenient because I don’t have to constantly check my phone, especially when I’m busy or on the go. I can even read messages or take calls directly from the watch, which is a nice time-saver.”

$99.49

Some simple rules of the sky, a watch on every pilot’s hand, some servers, connections to radars, and some software is all it takes to put an air traffic controller in every cockpit.

These hacks (Dems n Pubs) are obsessed with the ins and outs of flying. Since they make many fights per year. Air traffic controller chaos has kicked in, they don’t want to die, due to random F-up. This is why they are moving on this shutdown.

Schumer is a Zombie. Thune is the key. Will he cave?
Pelosi was super obsessed with flying. She took a military jet back and forth to San Fran Sicko.
