I'd say those people are indeed being missed, as we have safety people continuing to work to protect you ass today at airports at NO PAY right now, just because it must be done or risk the publics life. They don't have to be there - they are furloughed.
And we also have those 4,000 supervisors and 90,000 contractors who had to walk away from construction projects in progress (runways, safety) just abandoning them in the middle. Makes it fun for the airports, huh? Makes it even more fun if the projects are not finished and have to be held over?
And how about that $30 million a day in the FAA fees we are NOT COLLECTING. The airlines, by the way, have raised their own fees to keep fares the same and are currently gouging the customers by taking those FAA fees for themselves.
So a good days work by our current Congress:
94,000 people laid off, millions being lost daily in revenue, projects delayed and made more expensive, safety of public at risk without the dedication of these employees over money.
And Congress went on vacation and left these people hanging.
Yay! What complete fecking idiots. I cannot wait until 2012.
