Description

The FAA has announced that airline traffic will be reduced by 10% in 40 'high-volume' markets starting Friday morning.

The intent is to maintain safety amid the government shutdown as airports across the nation struggle with staffing shortages and air traffic controllers continue to work unpaid.

To learn about what this could mean, KCBS's Margie Shafer spoke with aviation consultant Mike McCarron.
