Written by Rio Yamat and Josh Fonk
The lack of employment led to further delay in airports throughout the United States on Tuesday Close the federal government It spanned the eighth day, while union leaders warned to air traffic controllers and airport security brushes that the situation is likely to get worse.
The Federal Aviation Administration has reported the airport recruitment issues in Nashville, Boston, Dallas, Chicago and Philadelphia, and at air traffic control centers in Atlanta, Houston and Dallas Fort Worth. The agency has temporarily slowing off the aircraft heading to the first three cities.
Aviation disturbances were also linked to the lack of insufficient employment during the closure, which started on October 1. Issues on Monday At airports in Borbank, California; Newark, New Jersey; Denver.
Despite traffic holidays, about 92 % of more than 23,600 flights from American airports leave from Tuesday afternoon took off on time, according to Cirium, aviation analyzes.
But the risk of the broader effects on the American aviation system “grows day after today” as federal workers Work without wagesHenry Hurfield, a travel industry analyst. He said that the longer the closure, the greater the possibility of affecting holiday travel plans in November.
“I am very worried that if the government remains closed at the time, it may be disrupted, and millions of holidays are destroyed by the Americans,” Harvert said in a statement.
Transport Minister Sean Duffy said on Monday that there was already an increase in Air traffic monitors Calling patients in some locations. When there are not enough control units, FAA must reduce the number of takeoffs and landing to maintain safety, which in turn leads to delaying flying and a possible cancellation.
This is what happened on Monday afternoon, when the control tower at Hollywood Airport Borbank in South California was closed for several hours, which resulted in a delay in average two and a half hours.
When a pilot was preparing to quit the tower, according to the contacts recorded by Liveatc.net, he was told: “The tower is closed due to employment.”
Nick Daniels, President of the National Air Force Watch Association, said that the closure is the most prominent issues that his union members are already facing regularly due to the national airspace system that suffers from a lack of employees and depends on Time -out equipment This tends to failure.
He said that two missing work control units can have a significant impact on a small airport that already works with limited tower employees.
“It is not as if we have other controllers that can suddenly come to this facility and their employees. There are not enough people there,” Daniels said on Tuesday. “There is no additional time, and you should be approved in this facility.”
The leader of the federation said that the complications of air travel will be possible as soon as the day of payment is scheduled for regularity next week, air traffic monitors do not receive, and TSA officers will not receive any money. If the dilemma between Republican and Democratic lawmakers is to reopen government Daniels said the workers would be subjected to greater pressure with their personal bills.
He said: “It is completely incomplete that the air traffic controller bears the burden of” knowledge of the time you can suspend there in order to allow this political process to play. “
Johnny Jones, treasurer of the American Federation of Government Employees, who represents TSA workers, said he was hearing fears from members about how to pay bills, including supporting the child and mortgage payments, and if they were at risk of termination if they had to miss the work during the closure.
“The employees are struggling. They are establishing what they need to do and assess how all this works,” said Jones, who has worked as a scorte since the founding of TSA.
Some TSA officers have already contacted patients, but Jones said he did not think that the numbers were large enough to cause major problems and delay in airports.
Airlines and American airlines have called for the completion as soon as possible.
The unions also offer calls for food banks, grocery chains and airports to secure support for workers during the closure. The Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was providing federal workers with a value of $ 15 and allowing them to stand at the station, according to Jones.
John Teliakos, CEO of Operations at Tampa International Airport in Florida, said the facility began preparing for closure before it started.
The efforts of “Bald Eagle 2” among airport employees focus on gathering resources for approximately 11,000 federal employees working at the airport without salaries, including security monitoring and air traffic controller.
Tiliacos said that help will include a food store, free bus to work and a program with a local facility provider to keep the lights in workers’ homes.
He said: “All we can do to make life a little easier for these federal employees who allow them to continue to come to work and focus on maintaining the airport operating, and this is what we are ready to do.”
