"All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn't will be substantially 'docked,'"
"For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn't take ANY TIME OFF for the 'Democrat Shutdown Hoax,' I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country."
"For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU."
President Trump posted on social media denouncing air traffic controllers and ordered them back to work, warning of pay being 'docked' for those who do not return and promising $10,000 bonuses to those he praised. The FAA reduced domestic flights to relieve airport pressure caused by staffing shortages. Air traffic controllers are designated essential and are required to work without pay during the shutdown, with the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act providing for back pay after the shutdown ends. Concerns exist about many controllers lacking funds to wait for back pay and about the administration's adherence to payment laws. Buttigieg defended controllers and criticized the president's treatment of them.
