This is now the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history. Thousands of federal aviation professionals are still working without pay to keep our skies safe. They deserve better. Safety isn’t partisan—it’s essential. Congress must come together and #EndTheShutdown.

As the @NTSB investigation begins, I urge patience. In aviation, we don’t jump to conclusions; we practice due diligence and learn from tragedy. We strive to honor the legacy of lives lost in airline accidents by improving our system and strengthening safety.

A message from @ALPAPresident: Safety isn’t political— it’s fundamental. Yet, ATCs and thousands of other federal aviation employees have received a $0 paycheck while keeping millions of passengers and tons of cargo safe. This can't continue. Congress must #EndTheShutdown now.

Joined @NATCA President Nick Daniels one week ago today to voice @ALPAPilots' support for the controllers keeping our skies safe through this shutdown. They deserve more than thanks—they deserve a paycheck. It’s time to reopen the government.
