It’s day 37 of what’s become the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history. On Wednesday, the FAA said it will cut traffic by 10% at 40 U.S. airports beginning on Friday, unless the shutdown ends immediately. Up to 4,000 daily flights would be affected. Some 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Security Administration agents have been ordered to work without pay during the shutdown. This is Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, speaking on CNBC.

Nick Daniels: “Most of these air traffic controllers right now are on six-day workweeks, 10 hours a day, only four days off in a month, balancing their work with their families. And right now they’re saying, 'I can't continue to do this, because I can’t even get a second job, so I’ll just resign.’ That’s the — that’s the repercussions of this prolonged shutdown.”
