Countdown to Shutdown

Countdown to FAA Shutdown

During the two weeks the FAA was shutdown because of Congressional fights, American tax payers lost $400 MILLION in revenue that was pocketed by the airline industry. Nearly 100,000 hard working people were laid off and much needed airport infrastructure upgrades were delayed. Another shutdown could occur all over again on September 16 when the 21st funding extension expires.

It is beyond time to finalize a long-term FAA Reauthorization bill that improves our aviation infrastructure, grows our economy, and delivers hundreds of thousands of new jobs and keeps elections fair for air and rail employees.
