6. Well, they need to figure out a way to deal with this,

as this has become a feature of this admin.

Either someone lends the controllers their salaries, or start paying them in addition to what the federal government pays them, so that people start wanting to take those jobs.

The long time problem is that pay is not high enough for the stress and responsibility. Ever since Reagan screwed them all.

So, come up with a solution, it has only been brewing for 45 years now.

I am so sick of people passing the problems along. This is not that much money- how many controllers work at each airport? How about putting tip jars at the gates - let passengers pay them tips. I bet that would generate some funds.

The reason the dems keep losing is that they keep playing by the rules, when the rules are all tossed out by these ruthless bastards and we take them to court. And they ignore the orders.

And then the Supreme Court says it is ok for the R’s to break all the rules, just not anyone with a D in front of them.

So just do things for the moment- pay them all for goodness sake, out of any fund available, and then work it out later.

Thanks for responding to my post Ocellot II, I am just venting my frustration.
