NATCA in the News: NATCA President Nick Daniels Discusses Uncertainty as Government Shutdown Lingers During CNN News Central Appearance

NATCA President Nick Daniels returned to CNN for an interview with John Berman on Oct. 8 to discuss the ongoing government shutdown.

“Open this government today. Let us do the amazing job that we do day in and day out,” said Daniels during the appearance.

Air traffic controllers are essential workers, and they continue to show up for work despite the government shutdown. If the government remains closed, ATCs face the prospect of a partial paycheck next week and no paychecks later in the month.
