交通部长警告政府停摆可能导致空域关闭

摘要

交通部长肖恩·达菲警告称,长期政府停摆可能因无薪空中交通管制员人手不足而导致空域关闭。

交通部长肖恩·达菲表示,如果政府停摆持续到下周,可能需要关闭美国部分空域。

“所以,如果你们把我们带到一周后的今天,民主党人,你们将看到大规模混乱,”达菲说。“你们将看到大规模航班延误。你们将看到大量航班取消,甚至可能看到我们关闭部分空域,因为我们根本无法管理,没有足够的空中交通管制员。”

联邦航空管理局(FAA)报告称,近50%的主要空中交通管制设施存在人员短缺,约有13,000名空中交通管制员在停摆期间无薪工作。

达菲强调了这些管制员面临的个人困难,指出许多人正在考虑寻找其他工作以应对经济压力。

“这些勤劳的美国人有账单要付,他们被迫做出选择,”达菲说。“他们是去当空中交通管制员,还是必须找另一份工作来获得资源和收入,给家里买食物,给车加油?随着时间的推移,我认为问题只会越来越严重,而不会好转。”

此前,达菲曾表示未按时上班的管制员可能面临解雇,但他后来软化了这一立场,称不会因停摆期间未上班而解雇管制员。

“他们需要支持,需要收入,需要工资单。他们不需要被解雇,”他说。

空域关闭的可能性凸显了政府停摆对国家航空旅行和安全日益加剧的影响。
