Airline CEOs are urging Congress to address the impact of the government shutdown, which has left TSA workers unpaid, leading to significant airport delays. With TSA officers receiving no paychecks and increased absenteeism, security lines are lengthening, and airlines are struggling to manage the situation during peak travel periods. The CEOs emphasize the urgency of the issue, advocating for legislative solutions to ensure aviation personnel are compensated during shutdowns, warning that without action, travel disruptions will persist.
