why exactly are they cutting back? let see what the article says >From Friday to Sunday evening, at least 39 air traffic control facilities reported potential staffing limits, according to an Associated Press analysis of operations plans shared through the Air Traffic Control System Command Center system. The figure, which is likely an undercount, is well above the average for weekends before the shutdown. During weekends from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, the average number of airport towers, regional control centers and facilities monitoring traffic at higher altitudes that announced potential staffing issues was 8.3, according to the AP analysis. But during the five weekend periods since the shutdown began, the average more than tripled to 26.2 facilities. OK - 'staffing limits' and 'potential staffing issues' - those are DIRECT QUOTES from this AP article by RIO YAMAT - Yamat is a national business reporter for The Associated Press.
