You may have heard that some Democratic senators are looking to end the Schumer Shutdown, and it may not be a moment too soon for Your Retirement Life. The FAA has warned that it will soon be forced to “cut 10 percent of air traffic at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports, in a move that analysts said would force airlines to cancel thousands of flights,” according to The New York Times. Karoun Demirjian continues:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the reductions were an attempt to “alleviate the pressure” on air traffic controllers, who have been working without compensation since the start of the shutdown and have not received a paycheck since mid-October. He said the administration would announce the affected markets on Thursday, as the year’s busiest travel season approaches.

Action Line: Flight disruptions could mess up Your Retirement Life, or your holiday plans. If you have flight plans, be sure to check ahead for delays or cancellations. Click here to subscribe to my free monthly Survive & Thrive letter.
