THESE guys should strike. They're literally irreplaceable, all of them are employed. it would take a very long time to train scabs from scratch.
They tried that once and they were all fired
they're already not getting paid.
The last shutdown, or one of the previous ones at least, was stopped when air traffic got really fucked up and suddenly all the rich were inconvenienced. They can't strike, but they can slow things down in creative ways. Maybe they can just start routing all the need-to-crash-and-burn private planes with their fuckhead passengers to out the way airports. I'm not talking about the small private plane owners. Most of them fly out of little airports anyway.
They can go to jail if they strike.
Edit: Honestly, what they should do is just quit. I hear Australia has been hiring up US air traffic controllers, and it is better for all concerned because the American controllers are super-qualified and the pace and structure of ATC is Australia is about 5 times more sensible.
