Government workers, especially ATC, should just walk out on their jobs now.

      How can they pay rent without pay? This is probably gonna be the longest shutdown in history. Most people live paycheck to paycheck

        They’ll lose their pension if they quit. They might have to kill Trump 🤷‍♂️

          They can negotiate it back when they are rehired. Which they will be - there was already a shortage.
          If they walk, air travel pretty much shuts down. The gov will have to react.

              It takes quite a bit of training and then experience in smaller operations before moving to the larger ones. You can’t just hire random people for it. Well you can, but that will lead to disasters.
