Airline executives and pilots are pushing Congress to end the government shutdown, warning that unpaid TSA agents and air traffic controllers are distracted by missed paychecks. They say this threatens flight safety and the reliability of the entire air traffic system.

The biggest way to ensure the safety, security and reliability of our national air traffic control system is to pass a clean, continuing resolution.
We are concerned that when our brothers and sisters in TSA and air traffic control are not receiving paychecks, that they're distracted and that they erode on the margin of safety that we rely on to go out and operate our aircraft and do our job safely as well.
Every day that they go to work, they have not only the weight of one of the most high consequence jobs in the entire world, now they're feeling, how do I pay for my gas? How do I put food on the table?
No one should have to work without being paid. Congress owes it to the American people to get this thing done, get a clean CR done and get the government back open.
Everyone knows the Vice President, Congress is that this shutdown needs to end now. It has to happen now. These guys need to convene, say yes to that clean cr, get this thing back on track, and again, restore that confidence in the American public as we go in to.
These very busy holiday seasons.
