政府停摆期间空中交通管制员面临挑战
摘要
持续的政府停摆影响了空中交通管制员，可能导致商业航空的延误和中断。
当前的政府停摆始于周三凌晨，引发了对商业航空潜在延误和中断的担忧。作为被视为关键岗位的工作人员，空中交通管制员在停摆期间被要求继续履行职责但无法获得报酬。这种情况类似于2019年停摆，当时管制员的病假略有增加，导致纽约拉瓜迪亚机场和新泽西纽瓦克等东海岸主要机场出现严重延误。
美国航空飞行员兼联盟飞行员协会发言人丹尼斯·塔杰尔强调了管制员面临的经济压力，许多人靠每月工资生活。他指出，尽管安全边际得以维持，但系统容量降低，导致运营速度放缓。2019年，人员短缺促使联邦航空管理局（FAA）限制多个主要机场的交通，这也促成了35天停摆的结束。
目前，立法者尚未达成结束停摆的协议。交通部计划保持FAA空中交通管制员培训学院的开放，以实现招聘目标。然而，停摆影响了近1.4万名必须无薪工作的管制员。国家空中交通管制员协会主席尼克·丹尼尔斯将此形容为对本已压力重重职业的不必要干扰。他呼吁管制员保持专业，避免协调性的罢工行为，以免危及工会地位。
工会否认参与2019年空域放缓事件，但承认即使少数管制员请病假也会产生重大影响。一名匿名管制员表达了经济担忧，称错过一笔工资将带来严重后果。他还指出，由于人员短缺和工资停滞，员工士气下降，预计个人请病假行为可能会延长当前的停摆。
