(Photo by Dana DiFilippo\/New Jersey Monitor)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Federal Aviation Administration reported no travel delays due to staffing levels at U.S. air traffic control facilities Wednesday, following a day of some delays related to above-average absences at a handful of facilities.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">An FAA\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fly.faa.gov\/adv\/adv_otherdis?advn=34&amp;adv_date=10082025&amp;facId=ATCSCC&amp;title=ATCSCC%20ADVZY%20034%20DCC%2010\/08\/2025%20OPERATIONS%20PLAN&amp;titleDate=10\/08\/2025\" target=\"_blank\">operational plan<\/a> posted about noon Eastern Time on Wednesday, the eighth day of the federal government shutdown, showed no facilities impacted by \u201cstaffing triggers.\u201d A day earlier,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fly.faa.gov\/adv\/adv_otherdis?adv_date=10062025&amp;advn=73\" target=\"_blank\">the same memo<\/a> showed staffing levels affected operations at major hub airports in Phoenix and Denver, as well as a smaller airport in Burbank, California.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Air traffic controllers are essential to the functioning of the nation\u2019s air transportation system and must continue to work during a shutdown, though they are not paid while it is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The group has not yet missed a paycheck during the current lapse in federal funding. The first impact most federal employees will see on their pay will be Friday, when electronic funding transfers are made for the pay period from Sept. 24 to Oct. 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Because Congress has not appropriated money beyond Sept. 30, they would only receive a partial paycheck. Future paychecks would not be allocated until the government reopens.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2018How am I going to pay my mortgage?\u2019\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The possibility of working without pay is stressful for air traffic controllers, possibly leading to worsening performance or motivating some to call in sick to work on-demand jobs such as driving for ridesharing services, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at a Monday press conference in Newark, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cNow what they think about as they\u2019re patrolling our airspace is, \u2018How am I going to pay my mortgage? How do I make my car payment? I have a couple kids at home, how do I put food on the table? I\u2019m working six days a week, do I have to take a second job and drive Uber?\u2019\u201d Duffy said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Duffy said there was a slight uptick in controllers calling in sick, but that it had not been widespread.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Extensive \u201csick-outs\u201d among air traffic controllers were a major factor in ending the last partial government shutdown, which occurred during President Donald Trump\u2019s first presidency in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAbsenteeism as a concern: We\u2019ve had a few airports and we\u2019re tracking it,\u201d Duffy responded to a reporter who asked about the issue. \u201cWe don\u2019t have one facility that has had long-term issues with sick leave, but that is concerning to me. And if someone has to take sick leave to drive Uber to make the difference \u2026 of course that\u2019s concerning for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Union chief calls for reopening government<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wG-Lyl3teVQ\" target=\"_blank\">a CBS Evening News interview Tuesday<\/a> the union is not coordinating absenteeism and is encouraging members to stay on the job during the shutdown. Air traffic controllers are prohibited by law from striking or taking other actions to disrupt the air transportation system.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Daniels also called on Congress to reopen the government as soon as possible to ease the strain on the workforce.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThere is no concerted effort for air traffic controllers to go in and somehow impede this system,\u201d Daniels said. \u201cBut what it shouldn\u2019t be is waiting to see how long air traffic controllers can last.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Alaska Airlines jet lands at Newark Liberty International Airport.
