U.S. air traffic controllers face pay uncertainty and stress during a government shutdown, impacting major airports like O’Hare.
As the U.S. government shutdown enters its second week, air traffic controllers at major airports, including Chicago’s O’Hare, are working without guaranteed pay, receiving only partial paychecks and facing financial strain.
With about 3,800 controllers still missing from the system, many are working extended hours under stress.
Union leaders warn that back pay won’t cover immediate expenses, and the situation has drawn criticism, including from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who rejected a DHS political video broadcast at O’Hare.
Despite the strain, controllers continue prioritizing flight safety.
