The Department of Transportation issued a revised shutdown plan Monday saying it will bring more than 3,100 aviation-safety specialists back onto the job as of Jan. 18, up from 216 at the start of the shutdown that began Dec. 22.
“We are recalling inspectors and engineers to perform duties to ensure continuous operational safety of the entire national airspace,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. “We proactively conduct risk assessment, and we have determined that after three weeks it is appropriate to recall inspectors and engineers.”
I feel bad for those 3,100 workers who are being recalled to work even though they won’t be getting paid. Hopefully they will still be able to pay their bills.
We can all be safer when TSA screening falls apart an no commercial planes fly because $16/hour employees decide they can’t work for months without pay…
Yesterday’s complete figures show that TSA experienced a national rate of 10 percent of unscheduled absences compared to a 3.1 percent rate one year ago on the same day, Jan. 20, 2018; many employees are reporting that they are not able to report to work due to financial limitations.
If there is no money for paychecks, then there shouldn’t be money to buy the food and the fuel (and other consumables) that would be required to deploy the ship so it should stay tied to the pier.

But they weren’t paying extra, they were talking paying off… which means 122 (or 109) months of 1100 into S&P. Your argument is accurate, just doesn’t fit this use case
