Members of Congress have repeatedly introduced bills to ensure the federal employees who control air traffic and conduct airport security screenings get paid during government shutdowns. The Keep America Flying Act. The Keep Air Travel Safe Act. The Aviation Funding Stability Act. None passed in time to keep essential aviation workers from missing paychecks. President Donald Trump on Friday offered a short-term fix for the empty pockets of TSA agents who have gone unpaid since funding lapsed for the Department of Homeland Security in mid-February. Labor unions, airline executives and industry groups are urging Congress to provide a permanent solution by acting on any of the pending pay-protection bills with bipartisan support on paper.

Revised House aviation safety bill wins NTSB support, but victims' families demand tougher timelines
A revised version of the House's aviation safety bill now has the backing of the National Transportation Safety Board, but the families of the 67 victims of last year's midair collision near Washington, D.C., still want to see tougher requirements to ensure the reforms are implemented. The NTSB said the Alert Act now addresses its recommendations, including requiring planes to be equipped with a key locator system. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will consider advancing the bill Thursday. A number of key industry groups, including the Airlines for America trade group and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, have backed the House bill.
It took less than a minute for a routine landing to spiral into a deadly crash Sunday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. But a timeline reconstructed from by The Associated Press from air traffic control recordings and information from federal safety investigators and other sources shows that the collision between an Air Canada flight and a fire truck crossing the runway was the culmination of a series of events that began much earlier. Two pilots died in the crash, and several passengers were seriously hurt.
Federal investigators looking into the collision between an Air Canada jet and a fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport are reviewing the cockpit voice recorder and the actions inside the control tower. The National Transportation Safety Board plans to share more details at a news conference Tuesday. The plane carrying more than 70 people slammed into the fire truck while landing late Sunday night. The two pilots were killed and several passengers were injured. But most were able to escape the mangled aircraft. Investigators want to know more about the role of the air traffic controllers and whether they were distracted by an emergency with another plane just before the crash.
