That's step number one.

Airport directors, they know constant communication because even the federal employees that are not receiving a paycheck, what we're all after is.

when is it going to end?

When do you think we're finally going to get paid?

And also that communication is from the leadership of both the airports, the federal employees, how can we help?

What do you need?

They understand the mission.

And they need to be in there to keep that traveling public safe.
