"In the latest air travel news, air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration officers should keep going to work despite the federal government's shutdown, but some might decide not to since they won't be getting paid; United Airlines and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are testing a new procedure at San Francisco International that will allow some international arrivals to forgo rechecking their luggage if they have a domestic connection;"
"How long would you keep going to work if you didn't receive a paycheck? That's the question that thousands of air traffic controllers and TSA officers will be asking themselves as the federal government shutdown drags on. And their answers will determine how difficult air travel could become for the public in the days ahead. Although Congress this week failed to agree on funding the government, resulting in the shutdown of many federal services, TSA officers and air traffic controllers"
Thousands of TSA officers and air traffic controllers are expected to continue working during the federal government shutdown without receiving pay, creating uncertainty about potential disruptions if many choose not to report. A 34-day 2018–2019 shutdown showed essential aviation workers kept working for a period despite delayed pay. United and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are testing a procedure at San Francisco International to let some international passengers skip rechecking luggage for domestic connections. Spirit Airlines is advancing a Chapter 11 restructuring. United will deploy Starlink Wi‑Fi, American is enhancing regional jets and adding LAX routes, Alaska and Frontier will add California routes, and the EU will introduce digital entry requirements for U.S. travelers to Europe soon.
