Air traffic controllers are quitting or calling in sick. TSA are doing pretty much the same. It won't be long until airports shut down for days at a time.
How many of you are postponing travel until the shutdown ends?
I fly every two weeks and have not noted any problems yet. I will continue to do so, unless it becomes very problematic. However, no signs of that at this time, despite all the warnings. I usually fly into Atlanta then head west, so these routes are not affected at all.
