Unsafe to fly in the United States?

[IrishBuckeye]

CNN has a sub-headline questioning how safe it is to fly without inspectors and workers to repair facilities due to the impasse in Congress currently regarding the FAA. I'd really like to know as well! Are those clowns really leaving Washington without coming to an agreement and risking American lives in the process?

2. Not to worry......The Invisible Hand of the Market will step in and fill the void.

:sarcasm: icon not necessary.

3. A better question: are people still willing to fly

without inspectors and workers to repair facilities due to the impasse in Congress ?

Apparently they are.

And airlines are making a bundle on money they do not have to pay the FAA now.

4. Safety critical personnel are still on the job that includes air traffic control

That said the furlough of the rest of the staff and the stop work on project is still unacceptable
