DELTA FLIGHT ATTENDANT EXPOSES GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OVER THE INTERCOM MID-FLIGHT

“Right now, our approach is day by day. The FAA is asking every airline for a 10% reduction in flights to the top 40 markets in the U.S. For Delta, that’s roughly 540 flights a day.”

“It’s entirely up to the FAA how many flights they tell us to cancel. International flights will leave on time – those are the priority. Anything else, especially Delta Connection flights… all fair game to be canceled.”

“We’re just rolling with what the government tells us we can and can’t do until Congress comes back to Washington and votes to reopen and fund the government.”

So if Congress doesn’t vote – does America’s air travel just stop?
