By Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown is impacting air travel, with air traffic controller shortages leading to increased flight delays and cancellations. Approximately 13,000 controllers and 50,000 TSA officers continue working without pay, exacerbating staffing challenges and operational strain at major airports like Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and Newark Reuters.

For travelers, it’s crucial to:

  • Arrive early at airports due to potential longer wait times

  • Monitor flight statuses regularly

  • Stay informed about potential service disruptions

Adaptability and preparedness are key to navigating these turbulent skies.

“Firing an employee is already disruptive… but it can also escalate from a disruption into violence” (ASIS International, 2025).

Leaders and HR professionals can reduce risk by:

  • Planning terminations carefully with clear procedures

  • Ensuring security presence when needed

  • Training managers to spot warning signs

  • Protecting staff and the organization without compromising professionalism

Terminations are never easy—but with preparation, they can remain safe and controlled.
