Long lines, packed terminals and flight boards filled with delays.
00:07
The ripple effects of the government shutdown are spreading through America's airports.
00:11
With air traffic controllers now missing more than a month of pay,
00:14
the system is straining under the pressure.
00:16
At major hubs from Los Angeles to Dallas,
00:19

00:23
And it's just the beginning.
00:24
I think the real consequence is,
00:26
what kind of rolling delays do you have throughout the system, right?
00:29

00:35

00:45

00:46
They haven't had a paycheck for over a month.
00:48
They're confronted with the decision,
00:50

00:54
or do I go to work and not get paid?
00:56
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the government will halt traffic only if safety becomes an issue.
01:02
But until then, travelers should expect more slowdowns and cancellations.
01:06
The shutdown now in its fifth week with no sign of relief as the holiday travel season fast approaches.
01:12
We'll talk about the New Moors.
01:13
Now that's our first half year lider—
01:18
