空管员无薪上岗风险高 美民航界呼吁结束政府“停摆”

Group 1 - The CEO of the American Airlines Association, Chris Sununu, called for an immediate end to the federal government shutdown, citing increased pressure and safety risks on the aviation system due to air traffic controllers working without pay [1] - The government shutdown has lasted for two weeks, leading to a rise in absenteeism among air traffic controllers and exacerbating staffing shortages, resulting in thousands of flight delays across the U.S. [1] - Sununu warned that if the political deadlock continues, air traffic controllers will face their first "zero-pay day" in about a week and a half, with significant pressure on the aviation system expected if the shutdown lasts beyond three weeks [1] Group 2 - The American Airlines Pilots Association and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association also expressed concerns about the potential risks posed by the ongoing government shutdown and urged for a swift resolution [2] - The shutdown was triggered by a failure to pass a temporary funding bill before the end of the previous fiscal year on September 30, due to significant disagreements between the Republican and Democratic parties over healthcare-related spending [2] - The Senate has attempted to vote on a temporary funding bill multiple times, but has yet to pass one, dragging the government shutdown into its third week [2]
