Washington, 8 October (AP), led the staff’s shortage, led to another flight at airports throughout the US on Tuesday, when the federal government stopped until the seventh day, while the head of the air traffic administrators and the airport Security Screeners warned that the situation was probably getting worse.
The Federal Air Administration reported problems with staff at airports in Nashville, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia and in the Dallas-Fort Worth air traffic centers. The agency temporarily slowed the take -off aircraft heading to the first three cities.
The main delay of the flight a day earlier was also tied to insufficient personnel cast during the shutdown, which began on October 1. FAA announced a delay on Monday at Burbank airports, California, Newark, New Jersey and Denver.
Travel industry analyst Henry Hardeveldt said that the risk of significant disturbance of the US air system “growing day” because federal workers whose jobs are considered critical are continuing to work without reward. The longer the weaning stretches, the more likely it is to affect traveling plans in November, he said.

“I am seriously concerned that if the government remained off, that it could disrupt and perhaps destroy, millions of US holidays of thanksgiving,” Hardeveldt said in a statement.
Minister of Transport Sean Duffy said on Monday that there was an increase in the air traffic control of the calling patients in several places. If there is not enough drivers, FAA must reduce the number of take -offs and landing to maintain safety, which in turn causes flight delay and possible cancellation.
This happened on Monday afternoon when the control tower at the airport in Hollywood Burbank in South California shut down for several hours, leading to an average delay of two and a half hours.
When the pilot was preparing for take -off the broadcast tower, according to the road recorded by Liveatc.net, he was said: “The tower is closed due to personnel cast.”
Nick Daniels, President of the National Association Association Association Association, said that the shutdown stressed that some of its members were already facing regularly due to the national airspace system, which is critically insufficiently detailed and relies on outdated equipment that tends to fail.
Several missing managers can have a big impact on a small airport that is already working with a limited tower by staffing, he said.
“It’s not as if we had other drivers who can come to this facility at once and employees. There are not enough people,” Daniels said on Tuesday. “There are no overtime and you must be certified in this device.”
The complications of air trips are likely to expand as soon as the regularly scheduled payday and air traffic control and TSA officers receive any money, the trade union heads said. If the dead end between Republican and democratic legislators persists in the opening of the government, the workers will get under more pressure as soon as their personal accounts are due, Daniels said.
“In the end, if people don’t have money, they have time to start deciding on life and life decisions,” he said.
Daniels said it was not realistic to expect that the inspectors focus only on their difficult employment safe, while they do not receive paid, although they should eventually be entitled to support reward.
“This is not a reality and it should not stand on your back,” he said. “Is it absolutely unfair that air traffic control is the one that keeps the burden to see how long you can hang there to play this political process?” “
Johnny Jones, secretary, the treasurer of the American Federation of Government Employees, who represents TSA workers, said he heard questions as “How will we manage our accounts?” And “How will we pay child support? How will you pay for childcare?
“Employees are fighting. They will assess what they have to do and evaluate how it all works,” said Jones, who has worked as a screen since the foundation of TSA.
Some TSA officers have already called the sick, but Jones said he didn’t think the numbers were large enough to cause significant problems and delay in airports.
Airlines and American airlines demanded that the shutdown to end as soon as possible.
Trade unions also attract appeal to food banks, food chains and airports to ensure support for workers during shutdown. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport offered federal workers to 15 food vouchers and allowed them to park in the terminal, according to Jones.
John Tiliacos, Chief Operating Director of the International Airport in Tampa, Florida, said the facility began to be prepared for shutdown before.
Nicknamed “Bald Eagle 2” among the airport employees, the center of effort to attract resources for about 11,000 federal employees working at the airport without reward, including security screeners and air traffic administrators.
Tiliacos said that help would include food pantry, free bus ride to work, and a program with a local tool provider to make the lights in the homes.
“Whatever we can do to make life easier for these federal employees who allow them to continue their work and focus on maintaining our airport operation, that’s what we are ready to do,” he said.
Tampa Airport provided similar sources for affected workers when the government closed for 35 days in 2018 and 2019 during the first term of President Donald Trump. Tiliacos said he thought that the help has helped to prevent the extensive lack of staff that other airports experienced during this shutdown.
