I don't think it's entirely inaccurate to call out sick here. If you're having issues compartmentalizing the fact you are not getting paid it can impair your ability to effectively control the airspace.
Reagan fired the Air Traffic Controllers on a whim himself.
Regardless, it's too late now, you just can't deny that the threat of permanent discharge is now so moronic that nothing has come close in the entire history of aviation. I would imagine that many of those worried about their career have to put income above fealty to a ship being scuttled.
It was a very sound ship a year ago, completely solid for decades by comparison, now it's more full of holes than anybody could have imagined.
That was quick.
The smart move might just be to start delivering packages for Amazon on the first sick day, so you can get a head start without all the competition if everybody gets kicked out at once.
But my point was about GP's comment, they were relating the sick call-outs to healthcare in the US. These folks are not sick in a way that any of the current healthcare debate (what's involved in this shutdown at least) would help them with at all.
What has them sick is a president who insults them, and a legislative branch that can't do its job.
