FAA Shutdown

So does this mean they have no governing authority during the shutdown? Also scary, other things are probably next. (Like us)

Glad I made it home this afternoon...

I don't like being furloughed...especially while I'm deployed...FML!

[Clayton Bigsby]

Yeah, nope. This shutdown only affects the NexGen implementation stuff, facility renovations and construction projects, etc. Only 4,000 employees are affected, like architects, people like that.

The operational pay comes from a different budget. The age old 'different pot of money.'

Watch out for user fees GA... they're around the corner.

Government Losses to Top $1 Billion After Congress Fails to Reach Deal on FAA.

I heard the government had tons of money so losing out on a billion bucks shouldn't be a big deal; not even worth a continuing resolution. Plus unemployment is almost non-existent, so I'm sure all the construction workers who can't work on airport projects will find a bunch of other stuff to build.

Dysfunctional government, exhibit B.

It's a fvcking game to most of the current legislators. The shenanigans and brinksmanship now seem to have become the god damn status quo. I don't think anything will change until something happens that does immediate and catastrophic damage to our country. I fear for that.
