You will only get groped twice instead of the usual three times by TSA. ;->

Things won't start breaking until April - you're good to go.
Air traffic controllers face furloughs under sequestration | Federal Times | federaltimes.com
"If needed under sequestration, the cutbacks would begin in April, they said. Employee furloughs would average one day per pay period through the end of the fiscal year in September."

I'm writing this from the bunker I built for Y2K and recently updated for the Mayan apocolypse of 2012. I believe Algore has projected Newark should be underwater by now due to global warming. I guess it isn't if the are still scheduling flights out of there. Obama has convinced me the country will grind to a halt, starting with women and the poor, if the federal budget is cut by 3%, so that might hurt you. But Maxine Waters says 170 million Americans are about to lose their jobs because of the sequester, and that would have to impact how many people can afford to fly. So with all that in mind, I'll bet you won't be impacted at all.

Exactly right Rock, and besides, the sequester cuts actually only mean the increase in federal spending will not be as great. It will not be a cut, only a blip in the squandering of our grandkid's money. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, the services will not stop.

Instead of increasing spending $2.5T over 10 years, we'll increase it $2.4T over 10. Run for the hills!

I am tired of you guys attacking the union:
From today's Fastread:
"We share the FAA’s commitment to preserving the safety of the system despite these drastic budget cuts. Reduced air traffic personnel means there will be fewer planes in the air, which could definitely have an impact on our communities and the economy. "
Back the Pac boys.
