November 17th Government Shutdown

[Billybob]

So the next potential shutdown is upon us for the 384th time, what are the odds this one gets kicked down the road? GOP got embarrassed in the recent elections, will they Albus Dumble-doubledown or play ball or are we looking at months of no pay?

With the new speaker being one of the true crazies I hold no hope for a positive outcome

We can avoid a shutdown if we install porn monitor software on our devices and share it with each other

I second this, all in favour of a slack channel?

This one will get kicked down the road again with another CR until after the holidays. Then the actual shutdown will occur in early January. As much as these shit-bags would love to see government disfunction, even they know a shutdown just before Thanksgiving would be too much.

Don’t be so sure. The longest shutdown in history started on Dec 22, 2018.

Is the positive outcome free leave and then pay or pay while working with differentials

Well aware. I was working as a contractor on the CPDLC Project at the time. Only time I've ever applied for unemployment.

Difference now is we know how it ended. Controllers understand the power they control.

The weird anti porn software with his son guy already asked for a CR from republicans so they can work on their individual bills. Their individual bills will be insane and that’s where the negotiation will start.

One of my buddies start dates keeps getting delayed due to the impending government shutdown. He was supposed to start a few months back. He had a signed FOL and everything, so he left his contract gig to move across the country and start with the FAA. Super great timing I know.

Talk about a crappy situation, do you guys think there is any type of compensation he could get for the extended delays after receiving a formal offer?

This is fake news. The. Gov will start you 1 millisecond before they send you home before shutdown
