There's a risk of disruption. You could face a significant delay departing from Newark, arriving at Newark, or leaving where you're flying from to go to Newark because they put in a ground stop or a delay so that you're stuck on the tarmac in San Francisco or wherever.
That is a difficult question to answer. The FAA and the union for controllers will always insist that they won't sacrifice safety for efficiency. There's a question of fatigue, and that's been an issue raised by the union over the last few years that, you know, at some point, the system's going to break.
You know, if you're constantly working more because of the short staffing, it can lead to more close calls and, God forbid, something worse.
I think if it's successful, people will go back to not thinking about it, if it's just part of the system, part of air travel that we take for granted. You'll see fewer delays in New York and around the country. You'll see more flights, and then presumably you'll see fewer close calls if some of the safety events are related to the staffing situation. or any tech issues.
They could, I guess, go back to the old setup back in Long Island. But there's a lot riding on this for... the FAA, airlines, passengers, and the country's transportation system, the real test is gonna be a year from now, two years from now, three years from now. It's a big experiment that we're all sort of caught in the middle of.
