00:00Only a fraction of the air traffic workforce will get the $10,000 perfect attendance bonuses
00:08promised after the 43-day government shutdown. And this morning, thousands are getting left out.
00:14The FAA says just 776 controllers and technicians qualified, far fewer than expected. About 20,000
00:22others won't get the bonus because they miss shifts during the shutdown, often to take side
00:28jobs or care for children, while paychecks were frozen. The controllers' shortage during the
00:33shutdown forced cuts at 40 airports, fueling days of cancellations. The controllers' union is
00:39blasting the bonus decision, saying thousands who consistently reported for duty while working
00:44without pay are being left out of the reward they were promised.
