This is one issue where, historically, if you give a crap about uninterrupted air travel, you should never vote Republican.

Remember when Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers to break their strike? And the deregulation that has made air travel not only uncomfortable, but a miserable (and somehow still overly expensive) experience? And now you've got Donald's government refusing to pay people properly, something that he has done for his entire adult life in both public and private ventures.

Republicans treat airline workers like doo doo.
