With the US government now being in it's longest shutdown ever, the effects is starting to flow onto air travel as both ATC and TSA are federal organisations and nobody is being paid. It seems like flight cuts and cancellations are already occuring because of this, but it's possibly only a stones throw away from collapsing if this isn't sorted out soon and people being paid to work.
Also this could have long term impacts as well - people being forced to leave ATC because of this temporary shutdown may not return back and cause a struggling industry to lose even more staff.
