Reagan did famously fire 11,000 striking air traffic controllers - so while you might be right I can understand a lot of hesitation.

Genuine, is it very cool when now there's possibly going to be a generational shortage of ATC people in the near future possibly as a direct result of this?

My argument is that we are in the long term now. The long term is a generational labor shortage as a result.

Federal employees on strike right now sounds like it would be wonderful.
