Air Travel Operations Expert on Federal Shutdown Thanksgiving Impact

I’m reporting on how a continuing federal shutdown could affect Thanksgiving flights. I need an expert who can quantify likely delays and cancellations if the shutdown runs through the end of November. Ideal background: *Former US Department of Transportation, FAA, or ATC operations experience. Airline operations analyst or academic researcher focused on airspace capacity and staffing. *Able to speak on record and provide clear, data-driven estimates. I’m aiming to interview this week. If you or a colleague can help, please comment here or DM me to connect!
