arriving this morning and flights were delayed at newark, philadelphia, washington, others. it is exactly the kind of thing the ceo of southwest air warned could happen. >> the thought that you would refer to people and their jobs as nonessential is absurd. everybody is essential or they shouldn't have a job. as an example, the faa is not hiring replacement air traffic controllers or training them. all those are considered nonessential functions and that is shutdown. so that means that where the faa is already stressed in terms of staffing all of the centers around the country, now they'll be even more stressed. so there is a risk that air traffic will have to be slowed down. >> there you go. boy, was he prescient about that. i'm joined now live by the president of the air traffic controllers association, paul rinaldi. you and i watched what the fbi direct her to say. i'm guessing you can understand
