Air traffic controllers stretched thin, take side jobs amid shutdown
“Air traffic controllers have called and said, ‘I’ve picked up a side job. I go to my primary job on a day, an evening or a midnight shift. And when I complete that shift, I now go to a secondary job. I’m driving for Uber. I’m doing DoorDash. I’m doing Instacart.’ This job is hard enough,” Daniels said.
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) said the missed paycheck “needlessly adds more stress to an already difficult job” for air traffic controllers.
“Controllers should never have to wonder where they will find money to pay their mortgage or put food on the table,” Larsen said.
