My father is at PBI (West Palm Beach) RIGHT NOW and said they are delaying flights there. That is a smaller airport, but it is busy, with a lot of direct flights to the Northeast and DC, and a decent amount of rich people at the private area. Private jets use ATC, too.

Better open up the government , or this will continue to assure they lose both the Senate and the Presidency, and more people are running away from trump and the republican party at record levels. trumps destroying the republican party, and they're dumb enough to let him continue. They just thought the Mid terms was a disaster, because 2020 is going to be a total failure for them , and maybe for decades.

Washington D.C.

Do you think they fear for their safety while flying?

They are putting themselves at risk with this shutdown.

I have to think that they will be wanting to end this shutdown soon.

Congress will be late getting home this weekend and the shutdown will be over when they return. Unless their return flights are cancelled
