If Congress can't agree on a budget late Friday night and that triggers budget cuts, one of the tangible effects of it will be fewer planes taking off and landing in North Texas. "Controllers will still be employed, but we won't, in essence, be able to come to work and do our jobs," said Tom Rizzardo, National Association of Air Traffic Controllers (NATCA). Those employees will likely have to take an unpaid day off every week if sequestration happens, Rizzardo added.
