A shutdown-proof plan for federal aviation pay? Now that’s bipartisan babysitting we can all nod at.

Good to see a bill that puts people over politics—our skies shouldn’t be hostage to government shutdowns.

Sure, essential workers should get paid—but why reward lawmakers for failing to pass budgets on time? Accountability matters.

Maybe if Congress did their job on time, we wouldn’t need a bailout for aviation pay during shutdowns. Let’s end the endless handouts.

Keeping TSA and air traffic controllers paid during shutdowns? Finally, some common sense in Congress! Essential workers deserve more than political poker chips.
moderate 10/28/2025
Keep the controllers and TSA working through shutdowns—because while politicians stall, someone’s gotta keep us airborne.

At least someone’s smart enough to keep the planes flying when the Capitol hits pause. Stability in the skies, chaos on the floor.

Protecting airports from shutdown fallout sounds good, but it’s just another excuse to dodge real fiscal discipline.
left-leaning 10/28/2025
Paying those who keep us safe during shutdowns isn’t charity, it’s a basic duty. About time we protect workers, not the budget games.
