Serious problems occur at US airports due to serious deficiencies in air traffic controllers due to Shutdown.

In Nashville, many air traffic controllers have chosen to stay home, with the aircraft control center closed.

The same problem is presentedI in Houston, Newark and Las Vegas One week after Shutdown since there were not enough air traffic auditors on Tuesday night.

Houston’s two major airports, hobby and George Bush intercontinental airport were expected to face delays due to lack of staff.

These problems on the flights presented as Transport Minister Sean Dafi says more air traffic auditors declare ill. However, like transport administration officers, air traffic auditors are considered key employees and must work unpaid even during the shutdown.

Organized work activities, such as strikes or sick licenses, are prohibited by federal legislation, but because air traffic control personnel are so limited, a small number

Staff shortages on Tuesday

Chicago’s O’Connum International Airport was expected to operate without full air traffic controllers for nine hours on Tuesday night. The airport is one of the busiest in the country, with more than 1000 flights a day. The delays early Tuesday night for O’Hear’s flights were an average of 41 minutes.

In Nashville, the aircraft control center, which drives the planes to and from the airport, was forced to close for five hours on Tuesday night. The airport flights had to contact a regional air traffic control center in Memphis to enter the airspace. Nashville -headed delays were expected to be on average two hours on Tuesday night.

The problems are similar to those that happened Monday at Hollywood International Airport Berbank in California, where the entire control tower was forced to close.

Auditors are worried about how they will get them out

The auditors have not yet lost a salary, but they continue to worry about what will happen when they do it, Duffy said on Tuesday.

“This is their lives. They are worried now, if they don’t get their salaries, how do I pay my mortgage loan? How will I pay my car loan? What to do to have food on the table? ” told Fox News.

The National Air Traffic Association states that the effects of a small number of auditors declaring ill testifying how much underered and fragile the air traffic control system is.

Auditors shout

The Ministry of Transport reported an increase in the reported diseases of air traffic auditors after the closure of the federal government almost a week ago, while the trade union representing them has renounced any coordinated work actions.

“There are auditors who have called that they are sick and we are watching it,” Daffi said on Monday.

Natca, who represents nearly 20,000 auditors, engineers and other aviation professionals, has discouraged auditors to declare ill -suited to Shutdown.

At the same time, pilots use a “conversation line” to coordinate take -offs and landings. When the air traffic controllers planned to work at the Tower in Berbank, California, remained home on Monday, the airport control passed to the pilots themselves, eliminating a level of safety.

On Monday, the pilots in Berbank had to connect to the wireless and be sure that they remained safe from other aircraft, without the help of auditors, according to a sound from liveatc.net.

FAA recommends that incoming traffic pilots monitor and communicate in the specified CTAF from 10 miles to landing.
