周一，美国各地超过2000架航班被取消，航空公司从一个艰难的周末中恢复过来，冬季天气条件猛击美国和美国联邦航空管理局的部分地区继续限制容量在美国40个主要机场，唐纳德·特朗普总统威胁空中交通管制员“马上回去工作!!!"
“所有空中交通管制员必须回到工作岗位，现在!!!任何不这样做的人都将被实质性地‘扣费’，”特朗普周一在一篇社交媒体帖子中说。
根据航空交通追踪器的数据，除了周一取消的2100次航班，美国国内、进出美国的航班也有6432次延误FlightAware.
周一取消航班最多的机场包括芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场，454个，哈兹菲尔德-杰克逊亚特兰大国际机场，227个和拉瓜迪亚国际机场，144个。
特朗普还声称，他建议给空中交通管制员世卫组织在政府关闭期间没有休假，但他没有解释具体如何做到这一点。
特朗普说:“对于那些除了抱怨什么都不做、休假的人，尽管每个人都知道他们将在不久的将来获得全额报酬，但我对你不满意。”。
空管工会主席尼克·丹尼尔斯在新闻发布会上回应了特朗普的帖子，称管制员应该得到报酬，工会将与政府一起解决这些问题。
丹尼尔斯说:“我会接受任何认可这些努力工作的男人和女人的东西，但我们将在任何问题上与政府合作。”“空中交通管制员已经在这次关闭期间继续出现。他们经历了美国历史上最长的停工，每一天，他们绝对，不仅应该得到他们的工资，他们应该为正在发生的事情得到承认。"
他补充说，“再说一遍，空中交通管制员不应该成为政府关闭期间的政治棋子。”
旅行混乱，随之而来的创纪录的长时间停工据追踪者报道，联邦政府的罢工预计将持续到周二。FlightAware表示，至少有1029个计划在周二的航班已经被取消。
美国交通部长肖恩·达菲(Sean Duffy)周五在接受美国广播公司新闻直播(ABC News Live)采访时表示，美国联邦航空局的限制能力不会影响国际航班，因为这将违反与这些国家的国际协议。
周日有2953次航班取消，这是美国近代史上最糟糕的一天。根据航空分析公司Cirium的数据，截至周日下午4点，该航班的取消量在2024年1月1日以来排在第11位。
达菲说，美国大部分地区都存在空中交通管制员短缺的问题，因此有必要削减航班。空中交通管制员在关闭期间没有工资，他们面临着艰难的决定。
“我们发过誓要保护飞行公众...没有钱，这几乎是不可能的，”美国政府雇员10-40联合会执行副主席克瑞丝·布朗周日告诉美国广播公司新闻直播，该联合会代表北得克萨斯州1600名运输安全局雇员。“如果他们无法支付日托费用，也没有任何额外的资源，他们就没有办法来工作。他们不能把孩子单独留在家里。”
虽然空管联盟不知道自关闭以来辞职的管制员的确切人数，但丹尼尔斯说，上周有超过4至5人辞职，这个数字每天都在继续增长。
丹尼尔斯说，即使政府重新开放，也不会给控制者带来立即的缓解，因为他们将继续努力应对关闭造成的挥之不去的影响和压力。
“这是一个关机不是电灯开关的世界。丹尼尔斯说:“这不仅仅是开，也不仅仅是关。“无论付出什么代价，都要让这个政府开放，给我们的成员发工资，这是我们现在需要的，我们必须继续应对由此带来的后果，以及由此带来的压力。”
Over 2,000 flights canceled in US on Monday as President Trump tells air traffic controllers: 'Get back to work, NOW'
More than 2,000 flights have been canceled across the U.S. on Monday as airlines catch up from a rough weekend,winter weather conditionsslam parts of the country and the Federal Aviation Administrationcontinues to limit capacityat 40 major U.S. airports, with President Donald Trump threatening air traffic controllers to "get back to work, NOW!!!"
"All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn't will be substantially 'docked,'" Trump said in a social media post on Monday.
In addition to the 2,100 flights canceled on Monday, there were also 6,432 delays for flights within, into or out of the United States, according to airline traffic trackerFlightAware.
The airports seeing the most cancellations on Monday include Chicago O'Hare International Airport with 454, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with 227 and LaGuardia International Airport with 144.
Trump also claimed he was recommending a $10,000 bonus toair traffic controllerswho did not take any time off during the government shutdown, though he did not explain specifics on how that would be done.
"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," Trump said.
ATC Union President Nick Daniels responded to Trump's post during a press conference, saying controllers deserve to be paid and the union will work through the issues with the administration.
"I'll take anything that recognizes these hard-working men and women, but we'll work with the administration on any issues that are out there," Daniels said. "Air traffic controllers havecontinued to show up during this shutdown. They've endured a longest shutdown in American history, and every single day, they absolutely, not only deserve their pay, they deserve to be recognized for what's going on."
He added, "Again, air traffic controllers should not be the political pawn during a government shutdown."
The travel chaos, which comes amida record-long shutdownof the federal government, was expected to continue into Tuesday, according to the tracker. At least 1,029 flights planned for Tuesday have already been canceled, FlightAware said.
The FAA's limiting capacity does not impact international flights as it would be a violation of international agreements with the countries, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in an interview on ABC News Live on Friday.
There were 2,953 flight cancellations on Sunday, one of the worst days in recent U.S. history. Through 4 p.m. Sunday, it had the 11th-most cancellations of any day since Jan. 1, 2024, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company.
There are air traffic controller shortages across much of the country, necessitating the cutbacks on flights, according to Duffy. Air traffic controllers, who are not being paid during the shutdown, are faced with tough decisions.
"We took an oath to protect the flying public ... and without any money, it's almost impossible," Chris Brown, executive vice president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 10-40, which represents 1,600 Transportation Safety Administration employees in North Texas, told ABC News Live on Sunday. "If they can't pay for day care and they don't have any extra resources, then there's no way for them to come to work. They can't leave their kids at home alone."
While the ATC Union does not know the exact amount of controllers who have resigned since the shutdown, Daniels said over four to five have resigned in the last week, with that number continuing to grow each day.
Even if the government reopens, it will not bring immediate relief for controllers, as they will continue to grapple with the lingering effects and the stress caused by the shutdown, Daniels said.
"This is one of the worlds where this shutdown isn't a light switch. It's not just on and it's not just off," Daniels said. "Whatever it takes to open this government and pay our members is what's needed right now, and we'll have to continue dealing with the fallouts and what this added stress and pressure to this has caused."
