00:00President Donald Trump demanded air traffic controllers return to work on Monday,
00:05as government-directed flight cuts and air traffic staffing absences continue to disrupt U.S. air travel.
00:12Trump said on social media that air traffic controllers who don't show up,
00:15quote, will be substantially docked, while those who didn't take any time off will be rewarded.
00:21It's not clear, however, how many controllers could qualify.
00:24The Federal Aviation Administration said between 20% to 40% of controllers were not showing up for work
00:31on any given day at major U.S. airports during the government shutdown.
00:35Airlines canceled 1,700 flights in the U.S. on Monday, and more than 3,400 were delayed,
00:42according to flight-tracking website FlightAware.
00:45It was worse on Sunday, with close to 3,000 flights canceled and more than 11,000 delayed.
00:51A November winter storm in Chicago is also disrupting air travel.
00:56The FAA also suspended general aviation traffic at 12 airports with air traffic control staffing issues,
01:03including Chicago O'Hare and Reagan Washington National.
01:06The shutdown could end this week, after the Senate advanced a compromise to restore funding,
01:11though it was unclear when Congress would give its final approval.
