Speaker 2: have access to the funds. Wbz's Mike Macklin has more.

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,320

9

Speaker 4: and political standoff in Washington again fingers crossed.

14
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: And it's just so chaotic and so unnecessarily chaotic, harmful

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: and adding stress to families who are already doing their

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,040

Speaker 2: the Veterans Day recess if that's what it takes to

25
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: reopen the government. He also described bipartisan talks held late

26
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: Friday as being positive. US airlines have again canceled more

27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,160

Speaker 2: tied to the government shutdown. Wbz's Kyle Bray is at

29
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Logan Airport.

30
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 6: While the government is closed, the show must go on

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 6: in airport's like Logan, but with the FAA cutting back

32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 6: on flights nationwide, travelers like Shoogi are finding themselves in

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 6: a tough spot. Her flight right now is fine, but

34
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 6: she may have to miss a work conference she paid

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 6: for next week because her flight was on the chopping block.

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 7: They told me they would reschedule me on a flight. However,

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 7: the reschedules are only available two days after my flight,

38
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 7: so there's no same day reschedules available, which is a

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 7: huge inconvenience, and there's no reschedules available at day in

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 7: advance either. So I kind of am debating if I

41
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 7: can't even go to the conference anymore, if I need

42
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 7: to just like drive myself out there.

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 6: But lost in the chaos of cancelations and long wait

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 6: times can be the toll on TSA agents and air

45
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 6: traffic controllers, many of whom are still showing up for

46
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 6: work despite the fact that haven't been paid in weeks.

47
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 6: Travelers I spoke to called them heroes for sticking it out.

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: I think that you have to be patient with them.

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: They're the ones who are suffering, not us.

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 6: They aren't getting paid and they're still coming to work.

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 6: So don't be mad at the TSA agent.

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: You call your congressman or senator and tell them to

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,480
