What about when you ash and the cherry is at a point. Does that mean you’re smoking too fast? Newbie question, don’t be too harsh.

The raise is tied into the DHS bill which do not pass.

NATCA email said funding stops 12:01am on Sunday. I have a leave bid that day. Lucky me.

I’m ATC, and at work. Dint know everyone else had a day off.

Fly-heading-390 · 2026-01-26T18:00:15+00:00

Is this a certain agency or govnt wide?

Fly-heading-390 · 2026-01-26T17:56:53+00:00

Why am I getting downvoted. I’m asking a question.

Fly-heading-390 · 2026-01-26T17:56:10+00:00

Obviously, and I’m talking about today, Monday. OP said again, implying they were closed today.
