Duffy Threatens to Close Parts of Airspace if Shutdown Persists
"Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary, threatened on Tuesday to close parts of the national airspace as he warned of “mass chaos” by next week if the government shutdown continued.
“You will see mass chaos, you will see mass flight delays, you will see mass cancellations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage it because we don’t have the air traffic controllers,” he said during a news conference, where he accused Democrats of perpetuating what he called a “senseless shutdown.”
Mr. Duffy has warned repeatedly of looming disaster in the national airspace, as controllers — who are among the essential federal employees forced to work through shutdowns without pay — face a second paycheck that is “a big fat zero,” as he put it on Tuesday. According to Mr. Duffy and the controllers’ union, many have taken on side jobs to make ends meet."
