Democrats, fake up all this crap, now we can add more democrats voters to the number of government employees. Every little airport in the country just doubled its over head.

I don’t think so. Little airports or Municipal airports “typically” only have controllers during daylight hours (for the most part). After dusk, it’s the pilots job to see who is lined up to land. They key the mike twice to turn on the runway lights.

I worry about JFK, Newark, STL, etc.... These are the big ones that have been having the problem which is inexcusable. That and the fact that airliners have become so automated that you occasionally have a pilot that falls asleep at the “wheel”.
