and ramp up to a 10% reduction by next week. Travelers are already worried. As a traveler, it's very inconvenient for me, but, I mean, if you're not paying people right, I completely understand. If I'm not getting paid right for my services, I wouldn't work either. So I feel like it's a double-edged sword at that point. The FAA will target the country's 40 busiest airports.
