@abcnews: "I don't really care what your political persuasion is, but you should really call your senator." A pilot spoke to the passengers of a flight from New York City to Dallas about the effect the U.S. government shutdown is having on air travel after their flight on Nov. 9 had been delayed for hours. #news #shutdown

Guys he’s gonna do his job. But he’s going to do it safely, and with unpaid, overworked air traffic control; safely is going to take a while. Meaning a long time waiting on the tarmac. He’s telling you how to fix the problem.. call. Your. Senator.

People who are saying we don’t care about airlines.. It’s not just about the airlines it’s about people working people who work for the airlines.. people who make their money by working at TSA… we should care because they’re the ones that need money and health insurance also

Guys I don’t think the point is how much money it is, it’s that is effecting peoples lives. It’s not political at this point, it’s about being able to live a normal life.

Do yall not know what AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL is were at a shortage that’s why he’s upset. It’s a shame that alot of individuals were let go when we need them in order to have consistent landings and takeoffs in an appropriate timely manner.
